I hope you had a chance to watch the video on how Texas
public schools are funded. We
are facing challenging times and are committed to
doing what is needed for our students and
staff. With a July 1 fiscal
year the Hondo ISD Board of Trustees
supported the need for salary and staffing
studies to help us allocate our
funds accordingly. Difficult decisions
were made. We move forward with the adoption
of a 1.7 million deficit
budget with almost 1 million
going to the Hondo ISD staff through
salary increases and adjustments
and an increase in the district's
health insurance contribution. We
are committed to keeping a quality instructional
staff so that every student
in every classroom will gain the critical
thinking skills needed to
thrive in our ever-changing world.
