Keller ISD staff outline $12.5 million enrollment-driven shortfall; board discusses timing for workshops
Summary
Keller ISD finance staff reported an estimated $12.5 million revenue loss driven by declining enrollment and changes to the basic allotment; trustees discussed scheduling detailed budget workshops in March-April to review options and timelines.
Finance staff briefed trustees on the district's budget calendar and drivers of the 26-27 projections, noting a projected loss tied to declining student counts and state funding adjustments. Pam said staff are finalizing estimates for revenue and said preliminary tax values and other state inputs will give a clearer picture in April. "So we're looking at 12,500,000 that we're losing," a trustee summarized during discussion.
Trustees discussed potential additional workshops and public meetings to provide transparency and allow deep dives into staffing and options for right-sizing operations. Staff recommended a series of discussions in April and May when preliminary tax values and state funding clarity should be available; trustees asked for digestible community materials and the possibility of targeted budget workshops.
