Tioga ISD will likely owe money to the state again this year, as it is likely to be paid about $500,000 - $600,000 more than it should receive based on actual enrollment numbers for the 2025-26 school year.
Despite that, the district is “headed down a good surplus budget track again,” Superintendent Josh Ballinger said to the board at the Monday evening school board meeting.
“For the first time in a couple of years we are going to owe back at settle-up, but that’s because, as I’ve advertised over and over, we were predicted on the state scale to be at 645 [in enrollment],” Ballinger said. “We’re going to end at about 575.”
