Round Rock ISD passes FY 2025-26 budget with plans to amend in August
What’s next
Trustees also approved a debt service budget of $106.13 million in revenue and $105.6 million in expenditures. These budgets, which are used to fund operations and pay district debts like bonds, are predicated on a total property tax rate of $0.8931 per $100 of valuation. This is made up of the $0.7101 maintenance and operations rate, which goes to the general fund, and the $0.183 interest and sinking rate for debt service. Covington said districts with a July 1 start to their fiscal year are directed by the TEA and will receive guidance on implementing HB 2, which provides additional funding and explicitly outlines teacher raises. If approved by voters, SB 4 would raise the $100,000 homestead exemption for school district properties to $140,000.
The Round Rock ISD board of trustees approved a budget plan for the 2025-26 school year June 17, but will reconvene to consider an amended version in August. The Texas Education Agency hasn’t shared guidelines for implementing House Bill 2, which created raises for educators and support staff, and Senate Bill 4, should it pass in a November election, RRISD Chief Financial Officer Dennis Covington said. Trustees approved $472 million in expenses, supported by $461 million in revenue, with a projected shortfall of about $11 million. The budget was approved to meet the June 30 deadline, but does not reflect the final version.
