Fresh state legislation forced Pilot Point ISD to approve a budget without final state contribution numbers for several programs during its meeting on June 11.
Though most districts end their fiscal year in August, Pilot Point wraps up in June, meaning the new templates and numbers from past legislation, which apply to basic allotment, transportation, utilities, SPED and more, were incomplete in time for the district’s June meeting.
“The new legislation is passed, but we don’t know all of the ins and outs of how everything is going to flow through because they just put it together this week,” District Chief Financial Officer Brittany Floyd said. “With basic information on the new basic allotment, the funds they’re giving us for transportation and utilities, those are about $680,000 so that will cover the deficit of either $450,000 or $470,000.”
