Frisco ISD trims budget after tax hike voted downWhat we reported Frisco ISD held a tax ratification election in August asking voters to approve a 13-cent increase to the district’s tax rate, which voters turned down. According to district officials, the increase would have generated enough revenue to cover the $30.6 million that FISD is estimated to lose from the elimination of a special fund called Additional State Aid for Tax Reduction.


The latest Through the 2017-18 school-year budget process, FISD is incorporating a priorities-based budgeting model where the district is funding high-priority areas that have the greatest impact on students.


What's next In the next few months the committees are expected to present budget recommendations to district staff for evaluation.
