Trustees express concern after appraisal-district budget rises 16%
Summary
Board approved the district's contribution to the Cameron County Appraisal District but several trustees questioned a 16% budget increase and discussed attending the appraisal-district board to press for offsets.
Point Isabel ISD trustees approved the district's annual contribution to the Cameron County Appraisal District, but several trustees voiced concern about a roughly 16% increase in the appraisal district's budget compared with the prior year.
Trustee Miss Scott and others pressed staff about whether the appraisal district could provide offsets to districts designated under Chapter 49. Staff said there was no immediate offset available for the current year but agreed the district should engage the appraisal district board in the spring prior to the appraisal district's budget approval. Trustees argued the higher appraisal-district budget reduces dollars available locally for students and staff and discussed attending appraisal-district meetings to make the district's position known.
The motion to approve the contribution carried after discussion; trustees said they will pursue engagement with the appraisal district ahead of next year's budget process.
