School funding is determined by the state’s funding formula, which has had a basic allot- ment of $6,160 per student since 2019. Funding is based on daily attendance, not enrollment. While higher enrollment could increase CISD’s daily attendance rates and boost the district’s state revenue, it will incur costs for stang and other operational needs, said Amber Pennell, CISD’s chief nancial ocer. Celina ISD’s $87.82 million budget for scal year 2024-25 was approved by the board of trustees June 24. About $1.94 million will be pulled from the district’s fund balance to oset the district’s revenue shortfall.
District ocials are putting together a community bond committee that should start its work in late September or early October, Maglisceau said. The committee is currently being formalized and is expected to provide recommendations to the school board before winter break. In February, the board will approve whether to send a bond package to voters, which would then be on the May election ballot. New schools, new school buses and district vehicles, and upkeep on current facilities are all district needs, which could be in the bond program, Maglisceau said. “We don’t do anything without trying to engage fully with our community [and] to have our community help make some of those determinations with us,” he said.
“Ideally, every single shift we make is just moving families
that much closer to their neighborhood schools.” THOMAS MAGLISCEAU, CELINA ISD SUPERINTENDENT
“We have a lot of new families and a lot of teachers new to the area, but we’re … teaching
them the ways of Celina and how to help one another.” KRISTEN AUNE, BOTHWELL ELEMENTARYPRINCIPAL
