Budget Presented for 2010-2011
Debbie Cabrera, assistant
superintendent for business and finance, presented the administration’s
recommended budget for 2010-2011 to the Board of Trustees August 2.
The general operating budget
projects total revenue of $249,584,463 and projects total appropriations
of $256,101,303. According to Dallas County Central Appraisal District,
the Certified Tax Roll received July 21 reflected a decrease in values
by 5.3 percent for a total roll value of $9,162,488,657. The budget also
reflects a total increase in state funding under current law of
$15,086,795 for the general operating fund. The state funding increase
is attributed to a projected increase in peak enrollment, increase in
average daily attendance and weighted average daily attendance, a
decrease of local property values, and accessing the additional 2
pennies to increase the district’s Tier II funding. State funding
represents 60.4 percent of the district’s recommended budget, 39 percent
is from local funding, and .6 percent is from federal funding.
The IISD recommended budget provides
for a total tax rate of $1.465 per $100 of assessed valuation, 4.5 cents
more than the previous year. Irving ISD will dedicate 66.9 percent of
general operating fund expenditures to classroom instruction, 11.1
percent to support services, 9.6 percent to student support, 9.1 percent
to instructional leadership, and four percent to administration,
ancillary and intergovernmental charges.
