Tarkington ISD reviews budget outlook, flags legislative changes ahead of 2025–26
Summary
CFO Thad Lasater presented the district's Budget Workshop #2 on June 23, covering 2024–25 year-end projections, revenue and expenditure trends, preliminary 2025–26 assumptions and legislative updates (HB 2; SB 4; SB 23; HB 4). Minutes include no financial figures or board discussion.
Thad Lasater, Chief Financial Officer for Tarkington ISD, presented Budget Workshop #2 on June 23, outlining the district's general fiscal outlook ahead of the 2025–26 budget cycle. Lasater summarized "Year-end projections for 2024-2025," revenue and expenditure trends, and legislative updates affecting school finance, naming HB 2, SB 4, SB 23 and HB 4.
Why it matters: the workshop set preliminary assumptions that will inform the budget the board considers this summer, and the identified bills could alter state funding formulas or mandates that affect district revenues and obligations. The minutes list the legislative items Lasater referenced but do not specify how each bill would alter the district’s revenue or expenditure projections.
The minutes record no numerical projections, specific revenue or expense line items, or dollar amounts for the year-end or 2025–26 assumptions. The district listed the topics presented but did not record follow-up questions or requests for additional detail from trustees. The workshop concluded with no board comments recorded in the minutes.
Next steps: the minutes do not specify a schedule for additional workshops or a formal budget adoption date; the presentation provides the framework staff will use to develop detailed budget documents for later board consideration.
