Brooks County ISD approves budget amendments after district budget workshop
Summary
Brooks County ISD trustees approved budget amendments to fund maintenance for 25 classroom A/C units and to release a paid-off food service loan balance after a budget workshop presented by Finance Director Alissa Sanchez.
Finance Director Alissa Sanchez presented a budget workshop to the Brooks County ISD Board of Trustees at the July 22 special meeting, outlining the district's financial position for the 2026–27 year and proposed uses of general fund balances. The board subsequently approved two budget amendments: funding full maintenance on 25 first-floor fan coil A/C units at Falfurrias High School and releasing a food service loan fund balance of $108,333 after the loan was paid off in 2024–25. "Motion to approve budget amendments as presented," was recorded by Trustee David C. Salinas when the board voted to adopt the changes.
The minutes also note a committed fund balance of $195,376 recorded for prior-year tax judgments and a pending litigation exposure of $72,914 related to a case involving J‑W Power Company. Trustees voted 6–0 to approve the amendments. The board directed administration to proceed with the planned maintenance and to reflect the loan release in the district's fund accounting; no additional contingency or timeline for the maintenance work was specified in the minutes.
Trustees present for the vote were: Jose M. Lopez (Board President), Jessica M. Quintanilla (Vice President), Dominique C. Alegria, Maria E. Anzualda, David C. Salinas and Veronica R. Tijerina. Trustee Teresa A. Silvas was absent.
