The Fort Bend Independent School District Board of Trustees held a called public hearing on June 15, 2026, at the district administration building in Sugar Land to receive public input on the 2026-27 budget and proposed tax rate. Board President Kristin Tassin announced a quorum and opened the meeting at 5:32 p.m.
The minutes list board members present (Vice President Angie Hanan, Secretary Dr. Shirley Rose-Gilliam, Adam Schoof, Afshi Charania, Angie Wierzbicki) and school officials in attendance, including Superintendent Dr. Marc Smith and several deputy superintendents and chiefs. Trustee Addie Heyliger is recorded as arriving in progress at approximately 5:43 p.m. The agenda packet and livestream location are noted in the minutes.
A single public commenter, Aziz Arifov, spoke on potential budget cost-reduction strategies for Fort Bend ISD; the minutes record the topic of his remarks but do not include a transcript of specific proposals or board responses. The agenda item listing the 2026-27 budget and proposed tax rate appears in the minutes, but no staff presentation, motion on the tax rate, or vote related to the tax rate is recorded within these segments.
Having no further business before the Board, “MOTION was made by Mrs. Heyliger to adjourn the meeting at 5:59 p.m.” The minutes show the meeting adjourned at 5:59 p.m.; the record does not include a separate roll-call vote or a recorded second in these segments.
The district posted the agenda packet and a recording of the meeting; any subsequent actions (formal tax-rate setting or budget adoption) are not documented in the provided minutes.
