19/25 Budget Committee

During the 88th legislative session and its four subsequent special sessions, the Texas Legislature did not provide any additional funding for public schools. Instead, the focus was on passing voucher programs rather than providing the necessary funding to support public education in Texas.

As we look towards developing the 2025-26 budget, and with no new funding from the state in sight, Comal ISD is looking at making significant budget cuts for the 2025-26 budget year. Without any additional funding from the state, everything will be on the table for possible cuts, from staffing to programs. That is why it is vital that we have community input as we make decisions that will impact the district for many years.

To help us prioritize possible cost reductions, Comal ISD is bringing together a group of community members to be part of the 19/25 Budget Committee. The name 19/25 Budget Committee comes from the fact that the district will be developing a budget for the 2025 school year based on 2019 level revenues.

Below you will find presentations and information provided to the 19/25 Budget Committee. Future presentations will be loaded the day after the presentation is given. We will also upload the parking lot questions and answers one week prior to our next meeting.  The committee will present recommendations to the Board of Trustees on Thursday, November 7.
