The details
The release states full-time employees working during the summer will work 10-hour days Monday through Thursday. Employees will work remotely on Mondays in order to close buildings on those days as a cost-saving measure.

A closer look
Cost savings have become a key issue for the KISD board of trustees. As the district prepares for the 2025-26 school year, projections indicate a $9.4 million budget shortfall, officials said.
To address this shortfall, Keller ISD is considering several cost-saving measures. At the Feb. 27 board meeting, Chief Operations Officer John Allison outlined potential actions, including:
- Increasing the student-teacher ratio in middle and high schools by an average of 0.5
- Reducing district-level positions
- Cutting transportation costs
