In June, Carroll ISD’s board of trustees adopted a balanced budget for fiscal year 2024-25 that plans an increase in expenses largely driven by recapture payments. The budget’s general fund plans for nearly $131.2 million in revenue and nearly $131.2 million in expenses, according to a budget presentation. CISD plans for higher recapture

The budget also anticipates an increase in recapture payments by the district. David Johnson, assistant superintendent for financial services, said recapture payments drove much of the 11% increase in expenses this year. The FY 2024-25 budget is made up of two

Breaking down the general fund

One more thing

CISD’s general fund revenue increased about 10.8% compared to the previous fiscal year. While the general fund is projected to break even, the district’s budget overall is projected to end the year with a $20.6 million surplus.

Both the general fund and debt service fund budget will most likely be adjusted after the district’s tax rates are adopted in August, Johnson said. Local revenue contributes the bulk of CISD’s overall revenue compared to the state and federal funds the district receives.

CISD’s proposed tax rate for the next fiscal year is $0.9969 per $100 valuation. The tax rate is composed of two separate rates that make up the total tax rate. The CISD board of trustees is expected to adopt the tax rates in August after the district receives certified property values from the Tarrant Appraisal District.
