Frisco ISD Superintendent Jeremy Lyon has announced plans to move forward with a $416 million proposed budget to be presented at the June board meeting.

Lyon calls it a conservative budget and that while their is an expected increase from the Texas legislature the board doesn’t know if Frisco will receive more, less, or the same budget from the state.

Some, such as deputy superintendent Richard Wilkinson, are expecting the legislature to be called into a special session fro school financing, but that may not happen until after the school year has begun and may not go into effect until 2016-17.

There is about $26 million added to the current school year budget with $20 million going to staffing new campuses.

Payroll costs are about 80 percent of the entire budget.

Normally FISD employees receive a 3 percent salary increase each year, but this year the proposed budget recommends a 2.5 percent increase.

Superintendent Lyon is laying the blame for the “conservative” budget, including reduced teacher pay increases on the Texas legislature and not knowing what the final outcome of funding will be from the state.
