What We Know Right Now
HISD
 State Comptroller’s revenue estimate projects a
state shortfall of $28.6 billion
 Statewide property value projections
estimate a decrease in overall values
 TEA shows increased cost of the Foundation
School Program of $5.7 billion, plus replacing
$3.25 billion in stimulus funds
 Texas Senate Finance and House Appropriations
Chairs have stated that education funding will
be cut this session in order to balance the
budget but don’t know by how much or how the
cuts will be made
17
What We Know Right Now
HISD
 Potential cuts and even elimination of some
grant programs by the Texas Education
Agency needed to balance the state budget,
which will reduce services to district
students
 Pre-Kindergarten Funding ($4.8m)
 Teacher Incentive Funding ($13.6m)
 Student Success Initiative—academic support for students failing
TAKS. ($2m)
 Optional Extended Year Funding ($1.1m)
18
 A portion of all school districts’ budgets are
currently funded through the federal
stimulus funds, which will expire at the end
of the 2010–2011 fiscal year
What We Know Right Now
HISD
 Health insurance costs are still trending
upward and will require a budget increase
in 2011–2012
 Utility costs are expected to increase due to
the Renew Houston drainage ordinance
 Gasoline prices are rising
 Title I funding offers less opportunities for
district initiatives due to required set-asides
19
Potential Issues for HISD
HISD
 By law, HISD must adopt a budget by June 30, 2011
 It takes 7–9 months to complete a review of the
district’s budgets and priorities
 Budget must be prepared with an anticipated
shortfall that will have to be adjusted in spring or
summer 2011
 Superintendent’s Cabinet is meeting to discuss
budget process, potential issues,
and how to engage schools and communities
20
Budget Review Process
HISD
 Develop a budget that potentially cuts the funds necessary
to balance the budget.
 Review of all central-office departmental budgets
and organization charts
 Review of business operations (custodial, police,
transportation) to look at how services are provided and if
there are alternatives to current service models
 Review of district-wide activities for possible cost
reductions
 Modeling of cuts to school allocations and impact
on schools
 Human resource implications from cuts
21
 Review of district-wide educational program models
to check alignment against strategic plan as well
as results from prior years

legislative session.

extended-year programs.
 Maintain the funding available through the District Awards
for Teacher Excellence (DATE) grant.
