BISD reports one-time surplus for 2025–26, warns funds will dwindle
Summary
Bellville ISD finance staff said the district expects a one-time surplus for 2025–26 driven by temporary revenue items and cautioned that hold‑harmless funds and other one‑time sources are likely to decline, creating budgetary pressure for 2026–27.
Mr. Jurek, Assistant Superintendent of Finance & Operations, told the Board of Trustees on April 20 that Bellville Independent School District expects a surplus for the 2025–2026 school year driven by several one-time revenue variances. He listed enrollment adjustments, hold‑harmless over‑65 tax compression, Disaster Pennies, a final settlement related to spring-break storm costs, and the New Instructional Facilities Allotment as the primary contributors to the overage.
Jurek cautioned that those revenue sources are not recurring: he described the district's 'hold‑harmless' funds as temporary and said they are expected to dwindle in future years. The district will need to weigh one-time gains against ongoing costs when preparing the 2026–2027 budget, particularly if recurring expenditures are increased based on the current surplus.
