Summary
Trustees approved the 2024–25 General Fund, Debt Service and Food Service budgets Aug. 22, 2024, adopting a General Fund budget showing a $9,812,000 deficit and a $392,200 reduction for added positions; the motion passed 5–1 with Trustee Emily Liles voting no.
The Grand Prairie ISD Board of Trustees voted 5–1 on Aug. 22, 2024, to adopt the 2024–25 General Fund, Debt Services Fund and Food Services Fund budgets. Trustee Emily Liles initially moved to "approve the 2024-2025 General Fund, at a deficit of $9,812,000 (which is a reduction of $392,200 for added positions)," but her motion received no second. Trustee Bryan Parra subsequently moved to approve the budgets "as presented," Trustee Gloria Carrillo seconded, and the board approved the item on a roll-call vote with Ms. Liles cast as the lone No.
The adopted General Fund budget shows a planned deficit of $9,812,000; the minutes indicate that figure includes a $392,200 reduction tied to added positions. The board did not record further amendments to that action on the meeting minutes; the motion carried 5–1 (Yes: Brooks, Bridges, Carrillo, Parra, Moffitt; No: Liles).
