The Amarillo Independent School District Board of Trustees will have a special meeting on Monday, June 20th. According to an agenda posted on the school district’s website, the meeting will mostly focus on finalizing and approving the budget for the district’s upcoming fiscal year.
According to a summary of the proposed budget released by the district, the upcoming budget is a slight decrease from the previous budget, with a total spending of about $319 million, compared to the previous budget’s $335 million.
Central Administration and Instructional Support are two categories where more money is budgeted in the 22/23 fiscal year proposed budget. Instruction, District Operations, Debt Service, and “Other” all have less money budgeted compared to the 21/22 fiscal year budget.
