Kemp ISD holds public hearing on 2025 budget and proposed tax rate
Summary
Kemp Independent School District held a required public hearing June 16, 2025, to discuss the proposed 2025 budget and the tax rate that would fund it; the meeting notice invited public participation but no public comments are recorded in the provided segment.
Kemp Independent School District held a public hearing on its proposed 2025 budget and tax rate during the Board of Trustees regular meeting on June 16, 2025, at the Kemp Intermediate Cafeteria, 905 South Main Street. The agenda notice states, "The purpose of this meeting is to discuss the school district's budget, which will determine the tax rate that will be adopted," and invited members of the public to participate.
The hearing fulfills the legal requirement to give taxpayers notice and an opportunity to comment before the board adopts a budget and tax rate. The meeting minutes provided list the hearing on the agenda and set public comment rules under the Texas Open Meetings Act and district policy BED(Local) — speakers must sign in, are limited to five minutes, and board members may not discuss or vote on items not on the posted agenda. The transcript excerpt supplied does not record any public speakers or an adoption of a budget or tax rate, so the board's final decision on the tax rate is not shown in this segment.
Next steps typically include formal board consideration and adoption of the budget and tax rate at a subsequent meeting or at the same meeting after the hearing; the provided minutes do not show a final adoption in this excerpt.
