Item 7
the board has been provided a copy of those donated items mr. Gorski did you want to yes I
did madam president I just want to speak a little bit about our future meetings coming up in a
a little bit what's going on in those meetings. We've had a few presentations from Mr. Chris
Smith, our CFO, and I think it'd be a good time just to say a little bit about that the legislature
has concluded and they have passed HB3, House Bill 3, that picked up some significant press
out there. I just want to say a few things about that before you see Chris come in and talk a little
bit more because I've asked him to really dive into that in the next few weeks so he can bring
us some good information come the end of June on that. But it is a pretty comprehensive bill.
It is being touted as transformational, and we do believe it is transformational for a lot of school districts,
but suburban school districts like Katy and some of the others and some of our neighbors,
it has not been as transformational as we had hoped to be.
We will see some dollars attributed to that and some increase in the budget,
and I'll let Chris figure that one out because, like I said, it's pretty complex.
We do like the idea that tax rates should go down, and that's a good thing for our taxpayers.
taxpayers. You've heard Mr. Smith talk about rotten apples for several years, and hopefully those apples will balance out a little bit between local taxes and state funding in terms of that. We do see the basic allotment come up, but Chris has also talked significantly over the time about the CEI, and that's that cost of education index. And with that going away, that puts us in a pretty significant hole of about $60 million, if I remember that figure correctly. And then we'll bounce back with a little bit more money in the basic allotment, but
But I did want to kind of set that stage a little bit this meeting to know that Mr. Smith is working very hard on that budget.
And between now and the June board meeting, you'll see an agenda item and another presentation from Mr. Smith of what that really looks like.
Thank you, Mr. Gugorski.
Finally, our future board meetings.
