CISD projects $16.6M shortfall in FY 2024-25 The Conroe ISD board of trustees heard a preliminary discussion on the fiscal year 2024-25 budget during a board workshop Feb. 6, including the potential for a nearly $17 million shortfall. The overview Chief Financial Officer Darrin Rice and Director of Finance Karen Garza said preliminary numbers show the district’s estimated expenditures and revenue for 2024-25 are $710.5 million and $693.88 million, respectively. Garza said the tax rate is not predicted to change, but certified property values could result in a lower tax rate.

However, CISD Superintendent Curtis Null said there is no fund- ing in place to provide raises in the new year.
