Trustees unanimously approved the district's 2026–27 budget, which includes a $500,000 deficit in the general fund while keeping food service and debt service balanced; the board also approved related budget amendments on the consent agenda.
JEFFERSON ISD trustees voted unanimously to approve the district's proposed 2026–27 budget, a plan that includes a $500,000 deficit in the general fund. Rebecca Pearl, district staff, presented the budget and said "The proposed budget is a $500,000 deficit in the general fund," then detailed line-item functions that supported the recommendation.
The board's approval came on a motion by Trustee Joey Romano, seconded by Trustee Kirstin Johnson, and carried 7–0. Pearl told trustees that food service and debt-service funds were balanced in the plan and later explained necessary budget amendments—covering food service overages, function adjustments and TRS On-Behalf payments—that the board approved through the consent agenda.
