The district began moving forward with preparing its budget for the 2015-16 school year, despite not knowing what would come out of the Texas Legislature this year.
The Frisco ISD board of trustees is scheduled to approve the budget, which is currently proposed at nearly $416 million, at its June 22 board meeting.
FISD is aiming to keep the budget tight while accommodating for the projected growth in the next school year, said Richard Wilkinson, FISD deputy superintendent of business services.
The preliminary budget is about $26 million more than the 2014-15 school year’s budget. It includes about $20 million to go toward staffing the new campuses opening in the fall, Wilkinson said.
