The breakdown
At the April 21 board workshop meeting, WISD Chief Financial Officer Garrett Matej reviewed the district’s budget for the 2025-26 fiscal year. Matej reported that WISD would have a projected budget surplus of $2.9 million, and recommended that part of the remaining balance be used for a one-time employee stipend.
Employees who are eligible for the one-time payment include teachers, administrators and professional personnel, Matej said. Nonexempt hourly employees, part-time staff and school resource officers are also eligible.
