CISD looking at a $3 million shortfall

VIRGINIA S. G

Cuero ISD is facing a $3 million deficit in next year’s budget, according to an initial projection by Region 3 Education Service Center that was presented to the school board on May 13.

The state funding formula has not changed (or increased) since 2019, which has challenged school districts across the state, given the increased cost of all goods and services. However, the formula is changing with the current legislative session in Austin, and it looks like CISD will not come out ahead this time.
