Clear Creek ISD’s board of trustees is scheduled to review the district’s fiscal year 2026-27 budget and discuss priorities, as well as receive an update on the FY 2025-26 budget, at its May 4 workshop session.
What you need to know
At its Aug. 25 meeting, the board of trustees adopted a $12.5 million shortfall for FY 2025-26, as previously reported by Community Impact.
The shortfall reflects stagnant state funding, rising operating costs and declining enrollment, which has dropped by more than 6% since the 2019-20 school year, district officials said at the meeting.
At a Dec. 16 workshop, the district projected a $27 million shortfall for FY 2026-27, as previously reported by Community Impact.
During the workshop, trustees discussed potential strategies to address the shortfall, including a voter-approval tax rate election, or VATRE, staff efficiency measures and enrollment strategies.
To address staff efficiencies, the district also considered reducing nearly 80 staff units for the 2026-27 school year at its March 2 workshop, which would generate nearly $5.7 million in savings, as previously reported by Community Impact.
What’s next
The board of trustees will meet at 5 p.m. May 4 in the CCISD boardroom, located at 2425 E. Main St., League City.
Budget-related items are expected to be considered for approval at the board’s May regular meeting, according to district documents.
