Budget Updates
Keller ISD's 2024-25 Budget preparation process has been a challenging one, as the Texas Legislature's failure to increase the basic per-student funding allotment over the past five years, coupled with increases in inflation and the cost of doing business put the District in a position where it faced a budget shortfall of more than $27 million.
As District Administrators and the Board of Trustees considered efficiencies and programmatic changes that needed to take place to address this shortfall, KISD shared with employees, families, and citizens the valuable updates and educational resources on this page to keep our community informed throughout the process.
