"Budget shortfall" is a phrase a lot of school districts around the state have uttered. The Dallas Independent School District is no different.During Thursday night’s school board meeting, district trustees took steps to deal with what it said is insufficient funding from the state.Trustees approved a new $1.9 billion budget.It gives teachers a modest raise. The new average annual teacher salary will be $70,000.
Greg Abbott’s battle with lawmakers over school vouchers has held up increased funding for public schools.One Dallas ISD trustee said that while the situation is difficult, Dallas is fortunate that it has not had to close any schools like many other districts throughout Texas."A ton of them are closing schools and having to close them on a short timeline. And we have the luxury of not doing that because of thoughtful planning like this," said school board member Ben Mackey.
