Brackett ISD staff present proposed 2025–26 budget, project lower ADA and compressed tax rate
Summary
District staff presented a proposed 2025–26 operating budget that assumes a projected refined ADA of 469.045, a potentially compressed tax rate of 0.6169 for 2025–26 (down from 0.6669), and no new capital projects; staff recommended 3% pay-grade midpoint increases and noted continued participation in CEP for meals.
Presenter (staff member leading the budget presentation) told the board the packet contains a proposed operating budget for 2025–26 and emphasized that revenues in the plan are tentative. "We are looking again at estimated revenues," the presenter said, noting that several assumptions remain as the district finalizes numbers.
The presenter said the district is "looking at a projected refined ADA of 469.045," a figure staff described as lower than prior budget approvals. The presentation included preliminary 2024–25 tax values and a stated tax rate of 0.6669; staff said a possible maximum compressed rate for 2025–26 could be 0.6169, with an additional local enrichment of 0.05. The presenter recommended a 3% increase to pay-grade midpoints for exempt and nonexempt staff and said the proposed functions include no special capital projects, focusing the plan on operations. The presenter also noted the district will continue CEP (Community Eligibility Provision) for breakfast and lunch, which requires a general‑fund subsidy.
