Ask Ed: Does the school district have to pass a budget? (En español)

Lately, we’ve been hearing questions about whether it’s necessary for the Austin ISD Board of Trustees to adopt a budget, so we put the question to Ed Ramos, Austin ISD’s chief financial officer.

Ed: A school board must adopt a budget by June 30. If a board does not adopt a budget by this date, then the district cannot expend any funds, including payroll expenditures, after this date. Per Education Code 44.006, “Public funds of a district may not be spent in any manner other than as provided for in the budget adopted by the board.”

Housing Resources for Employees

Housing Resources for Employees

The ability to live within our city allows our teachers and staff to be part of the same community as their students and families, as well as provides the convenience and cost-savings of living close to where they work.

The cost of living in Austin has risen dramatically over the past several years.  This list of housing services is intended to assist our employees with options for buying or renting a home. The list is intended to be a starting point and as such is not exhaustive. Click each heading to expand.
