At the March 16 budget workshop meeting, Tomball ISD Chief Financial Officer Zack Boles projected the district's fiscal year 2026-27 general fund revenue to be around $255 million. Boles said the audited budget for TISD in FY 2025-26 was $238.3 million; this new budget is a $16.7 million increase.
The projections
Boles’ presentation addressed not only the increased revenue compared to the 2025-26 budget but also the various issues the district will need to address in the next fiscal year. The various goals the district hopes to address with this higher budget include staff recruitment and retention, making TISD a destination district, and providing well-maintained facilities for students.
As previously reported by Community Impact, TISD has the opening of Tomball West High School and Creekside Junior High School's fifth grade expansion in August 2026. Boles said the opening of the two new facilities had led to “quite a bit of additional costs”; however, competitive salaries to hire and keep teachers are a high priority.
