PNGISD opens budget workshop after approving 2024–25 amendment; staff outline 2025–26 assumptions
Summary
After approving a 2024–25 budget amendment, the Port Neches‑Groves ISD board opened a budget workshop on June 9 where staff presented assumptions for 2025–26 including projected enrollment (5,347), homestead exemption forecasts, and expiring Chapter 313 agreements.
The Port Neches‑Groves ISD Board approved a 2024–25 budget amendment during its June 9 regular meeting and then convened a budget workshop that evening to review assumptions for the 2025–26 budget. Eric Sullivan moved and Brenda Duhon seconded the budget amendment; the board voted 7‑0 to approve.
Business staff presented the district's budget assumptions for 2025–26: projected enrollment similar to the current year (5,347), continuation of other local revenues including a Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) agreement and Chapter 313 agreements, and a forecast that the homestead exemption applied to $100,000 values may increase to $140,000. The materials note the district is losing two Chapter 313 agreements as they time out, though tax roll and I&S collections have continued to be received. Campus budgets were returned with no requests for increases; department budget packets were under review by managers.
Next steps listed in the workshop materials include a July 14 board meeting to review a compensation package and updates on departmental budget increases. The minutes include the presentation slides and the board's adjournment of regular business at approximately 6:45 p.m. before the 7:00 p.m. workshop start.
