Fort Bend ISD adopts 2026-27 budgets and commits $64M for potential state revenue loss
Summary
The Fort Bend ISD Board adopted the 2026-27 General Fund, Child Nutrition and Debt Service budgets and approved a fund-balance resolution committing $64,000,000 to mitigate potential state revenue decreases.
Fort Bend Independent School District's Board of Trustees on June 15 adopted the district's 2026-27 budgets, including the General Fund (199), National School Breakfast and Lunch Fund (240), and the Debt Service Fund (599), and approved a fund-balance resolution to set aside contingency funds for fiscal risk.
The Board's fund-balance resolution, entered into the record as part of the meeting packet, states that the district 'commits the following portions of its June 30, 2026, General Fund balance ... $64,000,000 for potential loss of state revenue.' The resolution also commits the total fund balance of Campus Activity Funds as of June 30, 2026, reported in the Special Revenue Fund. The budget adoption and the resolution were approved through the consent agenda and recorded as carried 7-0 (Tassin, Hanan, Rose-Gilliam, Schoof, Charania, Heyliger, Wierzbicki).
Board members and staff framed the action as a fiscal-management step to preserve capacity for district operations during uncertainty in state funding. The minutes list the adopted budgets as contained in the Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget document; the meeting record does not include additional line-item discussion in open session. The intruder detection and the 2026 end-of-year student achievement update were listed as information items but substantive data for those reports is not specified in the public minutes.
The fund-balance resolution is now part of the district record and will be reflected in the June 30, 2026 financial statements, as required by GASB Statement 54.
