The AISD Budget
AISD has adopted a balanced budget. Projected expenditures are $44,113,738. The district’s anticipated revenues are also $44,113,738.
The district steers the majority of its funds to support salaries and benefits. In fact, 77% of AISD expenditures are instructional or scholar-focused, and that means there is little to no capacity to make significant budget cuts without impacting programs, positions and educators.
The remaining expenditures include maintenance & operational costs (19%) and district administrative costs (4%).
The information found on this page reflects the AISD 2025-26 budget. The Board of Trustees will approve the 2026-27 budget at the end of August and the tax rate in mid-September. We will update this site with 2026-27 information after approval.
Shifting Gears
Voters’ rejection of a Voter-Approval Tax Rate Election or VATRE in November 2025 forced AISD to take an alternative route. The 12-cent increase to the Maintenance and Operations (M&O) tax rate would have generated approximately $4 million in funding for school district operations, including safety, instruction, staff, transportation, maintenance, and other daily operating expenses.
Because voters did not approve the VATRE, AISD must continue to evaluate potential operational budget reductions and defer maintenance needs while considering options for employee compensation.
