Skilled Trades Academy

Skilled Trades Academy kicks off its fourth year with approximately 20 students pursuing a short- term, career training program to become licensed Class D Water Operators. This program pre- pares rising seniors and Class of 2025 graduates for in-demand occupations in our region upon completion of the academy. Six employer partners guarantee graduates an interview for full-time employment opportunities, and rising seniors can compete for one of six internship seats with the City of Pflugerville. The academy is fully funded by the employer partners; City of Pflugerville, City of Manor, City of Round Rock, Austin Water, EPCOR, and Crossroads Utility Services. Texas Rural Water Association provides demonstrations and access to an apprenticeship after the academy, and the Texas Section of the American Water Works Association provides the training course free of charge, and offers students a one-year free membership to the association.

Universal Screener Updates

In 2024–2025, Pflugerville ISD administered the Star360 universal screener in reading and math to all students in grades 1 through 12. Overall, students demonstrated progress from the beginning of the year (BOY) to the end of the year (EOY). In reading, the percentage of elementary students scoring at or above grade level rose slightly from 57% to 59%. In math, elementary stu- dents showed stronger growth, increasing from 62% to 67%. Middle school students also showed improvement, with reading proficiency increasing from 61% to 69% and math proficiency rising from 62% to 68%. High school math remains an area of concern: while reading scores improved modestly from 56% to 60%, math proficiency declined from 64% to 62%. With overall proficiency in both reading and math hovering around 65%, continued focus is necessary to ensure that all PfISD students meet or exceed grade-level expectations.

1.3.1 Recognize and celebrate the uniqueness of every individual in order to promote creativity and innovation.

3rd Grade Students Donate to Non-profits

As part of the Social Studies curriculum, 3rd graders recently made donations to charitable organizations with funds raised from their fall 3rd Grade markets. Markets allow students to practice economics and citizenship. Collectively, students were able to raise and donate $27,408.64. Twelve non-profits received donations. Most of these were local animal shel- ters, showing that students invested in what mattered most to them.

1.3.3 Foster civic responsibility by encouraging collaborative and community-focused activities.

Extended Day Camps partner with local businesses to deliver a summer of learning, adventure, and community fun

The Extended Day Program is having a full and successful summer. Now in week four of camp, we’ve welcomed around 950 students across our four sites. Campers have explored water parks, museums in Waco, and toured a cave in San Marcos. Our youngest students have benefited from weekly swim lessons through a partnership with the City of Pflugerville, helping prepare them for safe pool days. All four of our camps, about 650 campers, came together at The Pfield to compete in our Camp Olympics, finishing with the Pflugerville Fire Department spraying down campers and staff for a fun and memorable sendoff. In addition, we’ve given away several hundred tickets to local families so they can experience places like Kalahari and Hawaiian Falls before the passes expire at the end of summer. Looking ahead, registration for the 2025–26 school year is already over 100 students and growing daily, and we are excited about the opportunity to set new records in enrollment.

2.1.1 Foster strong connections between students and educators by creating supportive environments that promote trust, engagement, and a sense of belonging.

Part I: Crisis response protocols and forms for a wide range of situations (suicide, self-injurious behavior, accidental death, abuse, homicide ideation).

Part II: Protocols for immediate campus response to a student or staff death.

Part III: Preventative classroom lessons for students twice a year and education for campus staff twice a year (via PowerPoint presentations during staff meetings for Anxiety, Suicide Awareness & Prevention, Healthy Relationships, Anti-bullying).

School Counselors and Social Workers present a minimum of two lessons per year

(Fall & Spring) to all students in PfISD. The topics covered (in age-appropriate classroom presentations) deal with:

• Healthy Relationships (including anti-bullying)
• Anxiety and Suicide Awareness and Prevention

These lessons were created by Social Workers and Elementary, Middle, and High School Counselors based on feedback from their colleagues/campuses as to current student needs.

Hendrickson High School Literary Criticism Team Earns State Honors at UIL Academics Championship

Hendrickson High School proudly celebrates the exceptional performance of its UIL Literary Criticism team at the 2025 UIL Academics State Competition, held at The University of Texas at Austin. Competing among the best academic teams in Texas, the students demonstrated remarkable knowledge, discipline, and passion for literature.

The UIL Literary Criticism Contest is a demand- ing 90-minute examination designed to assess students’ mastery of literary history, critical analysis, and their understanding of a rotating reading list that includes a novel, a play, and selected poems. Success in this contest requires months of rigorous preparation, teamwork, and in-depth study.

Hendrickson’s team—Hannah Saad, Simon Alvarez, Neha Gandra, and JC Haub—secured third place in the state for the second consecutive year, a notable accomplishment that reflects their sustained excellence and dedication.

In a standout individual achievement, junior Hannah Saad was named the 5A State Champion in Literary Criticism, earning the highest score in Texas across all UIL conferences. She was the only student statewide to receive an A on the examination, a rare distinction that highlights her extraordinary literary insight and analytical skill.

The team is proudly coached by Jordan Smith, an English teacher at Hendrickson High School, whose guidance has been instrumental in the team’s continued success.

Two PfISD Fourth Graders Named Finalists in Statewide Save Texas History Essay Contest

Two Pflugerville ISD fourth-grade students have been recognized as finalists in the 2025 Save Texas History Essay Contest, an annual statewide competition organized by the Texas General Land Office.

Karen Gregory, from Desiree Clark’s class at Mott Elementary, earned finalist honors for an essay highlighting the historical importance of Treaty Oak. Hudson Hassay, a student in Omar Medina’s class at Barron Elementary, was recognized for an essay about Juan Nepomuceno Seguín, a key figure in the Texas Revolution and early statehood.

Open to fourth and seventh graders, the contest invited students to write about people, events, or traditions that helped shape Texas. More than 700 students from across the state submitted essays, which were judged by grade level. Finalists received gift cards and Texas-themed prizes.

On the Texas General Land Office website, Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham, M.D., praised the young historians for their work.

“As a proud ninth-generation Texan, I am honored to be a steward of Texas’ rich history, which is knit together by the stories of the men and women who settled, fought for, and cultivated our beautiful state,” said Commissioner Buckingham. “Each year, I am inspired by Texas students’ care and dedication to preserving our stories through their incredible essays.”

This year marked a record number of entries, reflecting students’ enthusiasm for discovering and sharing Texas history. Congratulations to Gregory and Hassay for their demonstrating insight, research, and a passion for Texas history.

PfISD and TeachTown

Pflugerville ISD successfully implemented TeachTown’s K-12+ adapted core curriculum, enCORE, across 22 elementary schools, 6 middle schools, and all 4 high schools, impacting approximately 50 teachers and 50 classrooms. This initiative aimed to provide consistency in curriculum and better serve students with disabilities.

Key highlights and results include:

• Significant Student Growth: Students using TeachTown curricula experienced an average growth of nearly 67% between pre- and post-test scores across enCORE Elementary, Middle School, High School, and TeachTown Basics. Specifically, enCORE Elementary students showed 65.3% growth, enCORE High School students 67% growth, enCORE Middle School students 64.9% growth, and Basics users saw 68.7% growth.
• Teacher Empowerment and Support: PfISD prioritized comprehensive training and support for educators, which helped ease initial hesitations and increased regular curriculum usage. Teachers found the training applicable and valuable, appreciating the resources provided for effective instruction.
• Improved Consistency and Data Tracking: TeachTown provided a much-needed consistent curriculum across campuses. The enCORE system also automates student data recording, saving teachers time and providing administrators with clear benchmark assessment data that was previously inconsistent.
• Enhanced Student Engagement and Independence: Educators observed increased student engagement through discrete trial training and greater independence as students got into the routine of using TeachTown materials. The structured units and daily implementation guides (DIGs) have been particularly helpful for new special educators.

This implementation has provided PfISD with the tools needed to address challenges and measurably improve the academic, behavioral, language, and adaptive skills of their students with moderate to severe disabilities.

3.1.1 Provide differentiated professional development for staff based on experience and proficiency, and provide opportunities for individual choice

Mott and Cele Educators Chosen for Grant-Funded Project-Based Learning Institute

This July, a group of five teachers from Mott Elementary and two from Cele Middle School will attend the New Tech Network Project-Based Learning (PBL) Teacher Collaborative in Coppell, Texas. This three-day training will provide educators with in-depth learning on the principles and practices of PBL, while also offering a valuable opportunity to collaborate and network with other teachers across Texas who are implementing innovative, student-cen-tered instructional models.

Participation in this event comes at no cost to the district, thanks to a grant opportunity that made both schools eligible to apply. We commend these teachers for taking the initiative to grow professionally and serve as instructional leaders on their campuses. Their commitment to learning not only enhances their own practice but also contributes to broader district goals, including enriching student learning experiences and preparing students for future success.

This professional development experience exemplifies our belief that when we invest in our educators, we invest in our students.

Empowering Campus Leaders Through Statewide Professional Learning

Aligned with Finding 3.1 and Direction 3.1.4 of the strategic plan, Pflugerville ISD is commit- ted to offering leadership development opportunities that equip administrators to lead with excellence and foster student success.

This summer, elementary principals from across PfISD attended the Texas Elementary Principals and Supervisors Association (TEPSA) Summer Conference held at Kalahari in Round Rock. This premier statewide event brought together PK–8 school leaders to explore bold ideas and innovative strategies that are reshaping education.

Principals engaged in sessions on critical and timely topics, including data and accountability, instructional coaching, school culture, legal and legislative updates, time management, trauma-informed practices, special education, and the use of AI in education. Sessions also addressed leadership career paths, student attendance, mental health and wellness, and effective communication and problem-solving strategies.

Participation in this conference supports the district’s goal of cultivating skilled and reflective leaders by exposing campus administrators to actionable insights and powerful net- working opportunities. As a result, principals return better prepared to lead dynamic learn- ing environments that support the academic and emotional needs of all students.

3.1.2 Establish collaborative support systems to enhance instructional development and professional growth for educators.

District Instructional Coach Impact Report for the 2024-2025 School Year

Pflugerville ISD is proud to support teachers through a strong team of District Instructional Coaches. In 2024–25, 14 coaches provided job-embedded professional learning across the district, completing more than 3,000 coaching visits and working directly with over 500 teachers.

Feedback from teachers has been overwhelmingly positive—87% reported that the support they received from a district coach was highly helpful, with most teachers receiving coaching on a weekly basis.

At the ten campuses that received the most support from the coaching team, teacher retention averaged 74%, compared to a 70% retention rate overall at those campuses. These early outcomes suggest a promising link between regular coaching and teacher support and retention.

End of Year Targeted Improvement Plan (TIP) Milestones Submissions

As part of our continuous improvement efforts, Dessau Elementary, Springhill Elementary, Timmerman Elementary, and Connally High School recently submitted their End of Year Targeted Improvement Plan Milestones Submissions to TEA. These submissions provided a valuable opportunity for reflection on the systems and structures built this year to drive student achievement.

Principals met with district leadership to discuss key areas of focus, including the develop- ment of clear roles and responsibilities of the campus leadership team, the organization and effectiveness of Professional Learning Communities (PLCs), and the functionality of their Instructional Leadership Teams. Each campus also reviewed the percentage of time their administrators spent on instructional tasks and identified barriers that may be limiting their ability to prioritize instructional leadership.

This process not only celebrated the progress made this year but also surfaced insights and adjustments that will strengthen implementation for the year ahead. We are proud of the intentional work our TIP campuses have done and look forward to building on these foundations to ensure every student has access to strong instruction and school leadership.

Targeted Digital Campaigns Drive Strong Interest in PfISD Teacher and Bilingual Job Fairs

In May, the Communications Department continued its strong partnership with the Human Resources team to support staff recruitment efforts across Pflugerville ISD. The focus for the month was promoting upcoming job fairs for teachers and bilingual educators through a targeted and data-driven digital marketing campaign.

To raise awareness and drive attendance, the department launched separate advertising campaigns for the general teacher job fair and the bilingual teacher job fair. These ads were placed on social media platforms and strategically targeted audiences in Pflugerville, Hutto, Manor, Del Valle, and Austin. The results demonstrated the continued strength of this recruitment strategy.

The ad campaign for the bilingual job fair was particularly successful, producing 194 RSVPs and over 23,000 impressions with just under $100 in ad spend. That campaign generated 503 link clicks and reached more than 10,000 individuals across the region.

A separate campaign specifically focused on the teacher job fair generated an additional 90 RSVPs, more than 16,000 impressions, and 439 link clicks, with a reach of over 10,000 people as well.

These campaigns reflect the district’s continued emphasis on reaching educators where they are, using precise geographic targeting and engaging content to highlight PfISD as a competitive and supportive place to work. The Communications Department will continue working closely with Human Resources throughout the summer to ensure job postings and events receive maximum visibility and attract top candidates for the 2024–26 school year.

Dr. Emily Delgado, Provan Opportunity Center Principal, Delivers Keynote at Region 13 RISE Conference 2025

Dr. Emily Delgado, the esteemed principal of Provan Opportunity Center within Pflugerville ISD, served as the keynote speaker at the annual Region 13 RISE Conference on June 5, 2025. Her insightful presentation, titled “Comprehensive Restorative Practices at a DAEP,” captivated an audience of administrators, counselors, social workers, school-based therapists, support staff, JPOs, and other school resource officers.

Over the years, Dr. Delgado and her staff at the O.C. have continued to innovate efforts to improve the outcomes of students who find themselves in tough circumstances, deal- ing with unfortunate decisions that they have made. This work is her passion, as evident when she shared her thoughts on the topic, “I believe that all students should have access to equitable opportunities, but for some students it can be a challenge to access those opportunities.

Nearly all students facing consequences within either a school system or the criminal justice system have endured some level of trauma. These students require a different level of support to help them through a very challenging adolescence.

I am proud of my team and the environment we have created at OC that allows these students to grow and thrive as they prepare to re-enter their home campus and ‘normal' adolescent activities.” For three years, Dr. Delgado has been at the helm of the Provan Opportunity Center, consistently fostering powerful connections with the students and families she serves. Her dedication to understanding and supporting at-risk youth aligns perfectly with the core mission of the RISE Conference.

The RISE Conference, known for its focus on empowering professionals who work with vulnerable youth, provided an ideal platform for Dr. Delgado to share her expertise. Her address on comprehensive restorative practices at a Disciplinary Alternative Education Program (DAEP) offered valuable insights and strategies for attendees, highlighting innovative approaches to student support and behavioral interventions. Her leadership at the Provan Opportunity Center continues to be a beacon of positive change for the Pflugerville ISD community.

Rowe Lane Elementary Field Day: A Joyful Celebration of Wellness and Connection

As the school year drew to a close, Rowe Lane Elementary’s Field Day served as a vibrant celebration of student joy, wellness, and connection.

Aligned with our commitment to Pillar 5.1, Field Day enhances resilience, strengthens performance, and fosters positive relationships among students and staff. By weaving wellness into routines—even through moments of celebration—we cultivate a thriving school community where every child feels seen, supported, and strong.

5.1.2 Cultivate a positive campus culture and strengthen community partnerships to support student and staff wellness.

Dearing Elementary End-of-Year Celebration: Cultivating Joy and Community

The event brought the Dearing community together to celebrate achievements, foster joy, and strengthen the bonds between families, staff, and students.

By cultivating a positive campus culture and partnering with families and community members, Dearing continues to create a supportive environment where everyone feels valued and connected. The celebration was a joyful reminder that when we come together in community, we nurture the hearts and minds of all who walk through our doors.

5.3 Focusing on a culture of dignity ensures everyone in our community feels welcome, respected, and able to be their true self.

Pflugerville Pfriendly Committee Meeting

Over the course of four collaborative meetings, the Pflugerville Pfriendly Task Force has made significant strides in enhancing our district’s customer service processes.

This dedicated group has developed the Pflugerville Pfriendly Pledge that embodies our collective commitment to compassionate, respectful, and responsive service. In addition, they have established clear standards and expectations for phone, email, written, and in-person interactions to ensure consistency and excellence in every engagement.

Building upon this foundation, the Task Force has proposed a training program designed to equip all staff with the tools and understanding necessary to consistently embody these values. These initiatives reflect our collective commitment to creating a welcoming and supportive environment for all students, families, and staff members within the Pflugerville Independent School District. Be on the lookout for a launch during the 2025-2026 school year.

Timmerman Elementary Hosts Meet the Principal Night

In partnership with the PTO, Timmerman Elementary School hosted a Meet the Principal event on the evening of Wednesday, May 7, 2025. Incoming Principal Reese Weirich was introduced to families and community members, where she shared highlights of her back- ground, including more than 20 years in education and 19 years of proven, successful experience as a principal.

Ms. Weirich expressed her enthusiasm for joining the Timmerman family and spoke about her unwavering belief in high expectations and the idea that all students can learn and succeed. Parents in attendance appreciated her clear commitment to student achievement and equity.

Celebrating 17 Years of Diversity at Highland Park Elementary

Highland Park Elementary proudly hosted its 11th Diversity Night, a tradition that began in 2008 and continues to grow stronger each year. While much has changed in the world over the past 17 years, Highland Park’s unwavering commitment to celebrating diversity and fostering inclusion remains a cornerstone of their community.

This year’s event showcased nearly 20 cultures, brought to life by close to 100 dedicated parents, teachers, and volunteers. Their heartfelt contributions made the evening a vibrant celebration of heritage, unity, and pride.

At Highland Park, the belief in the power of community, the importance of mission, and the limitless potential of children shines through. Diversity Night is more than an event, it’s a reflection of a shared goal: to build a future grounded in respect, empathy, and connection. By honoring each student’s culture and encouraging appreciation of others, Highland Park Bulldogs continue to lead with heart, one celebration at a time.

May enrollment campaign reaches nearly 1 million impressions as Pre-K outreach and digital ads drive continued growth

In May, the Communications Department continued to build on its momentum to support student enrollment across all grade levels, with a particular focus on early engagement for incoming Pre-K families. The month’s efforts included targeted email campaigns, paid advertising through Google and social media, and new outreach channels to expand visibility of the district’s offerings.

The Pre-K marketing campaign remained a key component of the department’s student recruitment strategy. On May 12, an email was sent to 480 parents highlighting the district’s full-day Pre-K 3 program and reminding families about sessions held at elementary campuses where they could learn more and enroll. The email campaign maintained a strong 90.2 percent open rate and resulted in 30 link clicks, with no unsubscribes. These consistent engagement numbers reflect the effectiveness of the district’s ongoing strategy to build relationships with families early and help guide them through the enrollment process.

In addition to email outreach, the department continued a major paid advertising effort across multiple platforms. The enrollment campaign on Facebook and Instagram reached nearly one million people, with 964,612 impressions and 714 clicks from interested families. This was supported by a Google Ads campaign targeting families in Austin, Manor, Hutto, and Pflugerville, which produced 322,000 impressions, 4,680 clicks, and 3,670 conversions, at just over one thousand dollars in ad spend.

New this month, the department also launched advertising through Disney and Hulu to test the reach and impact of connected TV platforms. The campaign generated more than 26,000 impressions in its early run and is continuing into June.

The Human Resources Advisory Committee (HRAC) occurred on May 20, 2025

The final meeting of the Human Resources Advisory Committee (HRAC) for the 2024–2025 academic year was held on May 20th. This concluding session focused on several significant topics aimed at enhancing employee well-being and strengthening support systems across the district.

Employee Leave of Absence Enhancements

A central point of discussion was the revision of employee leave policies, with particular attention on the introduction of a structured paid bereavement leave. Under this proposed change, employees experiencing the loss of an immediate family member would be eligible for dedicated paid time off, addressing a long-standing need for compassionate support during personal crises.

Additionally, the committee reviewed potential modifications to personal leave policies, with an emphasis on expanding flexibility. This could include fewer restrictions on the use of personal days, empowering employees to better balance personal obligations with their professional responsibilities.

Support for Uncertified Educators

The committee also reviewed current district initiatives aimed at supporting uncertified educators, a steadily growing segment of the workforce. The committee received updates on the ongoing support systems already in place for these individuals, which include testing preparation resources and guidance toward certification. Additionally, the committee outlined a summer action plan that uncertified educators are expected to follow in order to remain eligible for rehire in the upcoming school year. This plan emphasizes timely progress toward certification and engagement with district-provided resources over the summer months.

7.1.4 Enhance financial transparency with all stakeholders.

May Financials and Tax Collections General Fund

In May, the school district’s general fund revenue totaled $3 million, bringing year-to-date collections to 91% of the budgeted $289 million—a 13% increase compared to the same period last year, driven primarily by state revenue. On the expenditure side, spending for the month was $24.5 million, with year-to-date expenditures reaching 71% of the total $297.5 million budget, representing a 1% increase over the same period last year.

Food Service

The Food Service department generated $1.2 million in revenue, reaching 101% of its $15.3 million budget for the fiscal year. Expenditures for the department totaled $1.7 million, representing 101% of the department’s total budgeted expenditures of $16.2 million.

Debt Service

The Debt Service Fund received $191.1 thousand in revenue, from tax collections and interest earnings. Expenditures consist of $12.8 million for the early retirement (defeasance) of the 2019A Bonds.

Tax Collections

Local tax collections are at 97.95% of the total $290.8 million levy, this reflects a slight increase of 0.08% compared to the same period last year. Although tax collections have slowed down, the county tax offices continue to collect tax payments and will offset them with any tax adjustments.

Bond Funds

2008 Bond: This bond is nearly complete, with approximately $3,049 in remaining projects to be finalized. After these projects are completed, the bond will be closed.

2018 Bond: Approximately $11.3 million remains available for general project use, including $3.9 million in unspent interest earnings and $183,845 in COVID reimbursement funds earmarked for technology projects. Funds totaling $447,745 from the sale of surplus school buses remain and will be used to support transportation needs.

2022 Bond: The remaining balance across all propositions is $265.8 million. Since the bond sale in February 2023, the bond program has earned $40.5 million in interest revenue, further supporting district projects and initiatives within the program.

8.1.2 Create a five to ten-year strategic vision for facility efficiencies and improvements.

Summer Renovation and Construction

The Facilities and Construction team has begun oversight of the renovation and upgrade project scheduled for 2025 summer months. These projects range from renovations of restrooms and classrooms through full Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) replacements.

This report provides valuable insights into current and projected enrollment trends across the district, including student population growth, new housing developments, and potential shifts in school utilization.

Agenda Item V – Public Hearing on 2025–26 Budget and Tax Rate

Public Meeting Regarding Proposed 2025–26 Maintenance and Operations, Debt Service, and Food Service Budgets, and the 2025 Proposed Maintenance & Operations and Debt Service Tax Rates and Accept Public Comment on These Topics.

PfISD will host a public meeting to discuss the 2025–26 Maintenance and Operations, Debt Service, and Food Service Budgets, as well as the proposed tax rate, in accordance with Truth-in-Taxation requirements. This meeting was advertised in the Austin American-States- man on Monday, June 16, 2025.

The meeting will include:

• Presentations on the General Operating, Food Service, and Debt Service budgets
• Discussion of recent legislation and its implications for PfISD

Engaging Our Community in the 2025-2026 Budget Process

As part of Pflugerville ISD’s commitment to transparency and community engagement, there will be a public meeting where we will present and discuss the proposed 2025-26 budget and tax rate. This important conversation helps fulfill Truth-in-Taxation requirements while also providing an open forum to share the financial direction of our district.

The meeting date and time have been publicized in the official Notice of Public Meeting on Budget and Proposed Tax Rate, which was published in the Austin American-Statesman on Monday, June 16, 2025.

During the meeting, district leadership will present comprehensive information covering the General Operating, Food Service, and Debt Service budgets. In addition, how recent legislative changes are being implemented and their impact on district funding and services will be explored.

This collaborative process reflects PfISD’s ongoing commitment to financial stewardship, transparent communication, and providing exceptional educational experiences for every student.

Agenda Item VI.B – Consider Approval of Budget for Accelerated Instruction for 2025–26

PfISD is setting aside $812,234 in state compensatory education funds to provide target- ed interventions for students who did not meet satisfactory performance on end-of-course (EOC) assessments. These funds will support tutoring, personalized instruction, and learning recovery.

Agenda Item VI.C – Consider Approval of Final Amendments to the 2024–25 Budget

In line with Texas Education Agency (TEA) guidelines, Pflugerville ISD is required to ensure that expenditures do not exceed the budget by function within the General, Food Service, and Debt Service funds. To maintain flexibility and transparency, the Finance Department presents quarterly budget amendments for Board approval, offering an updated view of expenditures throughout the year.

For this quarter and the final budget amendment for FY25, updates were needed for the General Fund:

• General Fund Highlights:
  • Revenue adjustments include lower-than-anticipated tax collections and federal revenues as a result of a decrease in SHARS revenue. Increases in state aid and year-end TRS on-behalf contributions are included.
  • Expenditures have been adjusted across functions to account for minor adjustments and for the remaining payroll expenditures of the fiscal year. An increase was made to Function 71 (Debt Services) to account for year-end subscription and lease-related accounting entries, which is primarily offset by reductions in Function 53 (Data Processing Services). A decrease in Function 91 (Intergovernmental) was made for lower Chapter 49 (recapture) payments.
• Food Service Fund Highlights:
  • Revenue adjustments include higher than expected interest earnings and donations to support student account balances.
  • Expenditures have been adjusted across functions to account for minor adjustments. An increase was made to Function 35 (Food Service) to account for outstanding prior year orders. An increase to Function 51 (Plant Maintenance) is attributed to higher utility costs and the year-end cost sharing of maintenance supplies.
• Debt Service Fund Highlights:
  • Revenue adjustments include lower-than-anticipated tax collections, higher interest earned revenue, and an increase in state aid.
  • Expenditures have been adjusted to account for lower scheduled principal and interest payments on bonds and an increase to Other Debt Service Fees for a cash defeasance of a portion of the 2019A Bond.

What’s important to know: The proposed general fund amendment increases the projected deficit by $9.1 million, which is $1.1 million more than originally estimated. On the other hand, the food service amendment increases the estimated deficit to $2.9 million due to expenditures increasing by $2 million more than revenue. Debt service revenue is expected to be higher, while expenditures are slightly lower, resulting in a projected fund balance contribution of $5.2 million.

Agenda Item VI.D – Consider Approval of the 2025–26 Budget and Compensation Plan

As part of Pflugerville ISD’s ongoing commitment to responsible financial stewardship and full compliance with state requirements, the Board of Trustees will consider approval of the 2025-26 budgets for the General Fund, Food Service Fund, and Debt Service Fund. These budgets have been thoughtfully developed using the school finance laws effective as of the 2024-25 fiscal year. Currently, the General Fund and Debt Service budgets do not include any revenue or expenditure changes that may result from recently passed legislation.

Similarly, the Food Service budget does not yet reflect the potential impact of expanding campuses participating in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program.

In addition to adopting the budget, the Board will review and consider the 2025-26 Compensation Plan. At this time, the plan remains unchanged from the previous year; however, as further guidance related to House Bill 2 becomes available, the district is prepared to re- visit staff compensation and make adjustments as needed. This approach allows Pflugerville ISD to remain flexible and responsive to new developments, ensure full compliance with House Bill 2, and continue supporting staff in alignment with the district’s financial capacity. Any required adjustments will be incorporated through formal budget amendments once legislative details are finalized.

Agenda Item VI.E – Consider Approval of a Low Attendance Waiver for September 19, 2024

This waiver prevents funding loss due to a significant dip in attendance on September 19, 2024, which was caused by the circulation of false and alarming threats on state and national social media platforms.

Agenda Items VI.F and VI.G – Consider Approval of Student Travel Requests

Color Guard students will attend the Winter Guard International Championships in Dayton, Ohio, from April 2 to April 6, 2026.

A 5th-grade student will represent PfISD at the National Spanish Spelling Bee in Albuquerque, New Mexico, from July 18 to July 21, 2025.

Agenda Item VI.H – Consider Approval of Contract with Big Rock Educational Services

Big Rock Educational Services will provide embedded instructional coaching and leadership development through a School Improvement Grant.

This support will be specifically targeted to Dessau Elementary and Westview Middle School. Services include weekly on-campus coaching for teachers and campus leaders, training sessions on lesson planning and classroom management, and support in building data-driven instructional systems. The goal is to build internal capacity that drives sustain- able school improvement and positively impacts student outcomes at both campuses.

Big Rock will provide embedded instructional coaching and campus support through a School Improvement Grant for Dessau Elementary and Westview Middle School.

Agenda Item VI.J – Consideration of District Local Policy Adjustments to BDD, BED, DEC, and EIC (Second Reading)

The Board will conduct a second reading of proposed updates to four local Board policies:

Administration presented proposed changes to four policies during the Board Workshop on June 5th.

BED (Local) - The most significant change to this policy is allowing public comment on any topic at a regular board meeting and limiting public comment to agenda items for special meetings. The additional changes align this policy with TASB’s recommended policy language and current District practice.

BDD (Local) - The changes to this policy reflect the District’s hiring of a General Counsel.

DEC (Local) - Changes to this policy will allow the District to provide three days of bereavement leave to employees and broaden allowable uses of Local Leave, including expanding use to five consecutive workdays.

EIC (Local) - Effective with the graduating class of 2029, classify Dual Credit (DC) courses and OnRamps Dual Enrollment as Tier 1 courses. This proposed change is designed to better reflect the significant academic value and positive impacts both of these types of courses have on our students.

Agenda Item VI.I – Career and Technology Education (CTE) Center

The Board will vote on the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) and full project budget for the district’s new Career and Technology Education Center, totaling $80 million.

Investing in Career Pathways

This investment will centralize CTE programs in a new districtwide facility to serve all high school students more equitably and efficiently. The Board will consider approving the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) of $64,401,709 for construction and site development. The full project budget includes:

• $59,229,880 for construction
• $2,369,195 for contingency
• $7,403,735 for furnishings, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E), including approval for additional vendors
• $5,922,988 for soft costs, fees, project management, studies, surveys, and geotechnical work
• $2,369,195 for information technology systems
• $2,687,924 in additional contingency to address potential future cost increases due to labor shortages, tariffs, or material price increases

This facility will allow PfISD to expand student access to career-focused learning and ensure resources are used efficiently across the district.

Agenda Item VI.K – Consider Approval of Memorandum of Understanding with the Pflugerville Education Foundation

At its May meeting, the Pflugerville Education Foundation (PEF) Board approved the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the 2025–2026 school year. The updated MOU includes a notable shift in the cost-sharing structure between the district and the Foundation.

In previous years, the district covered the full salary of the PEF Executive Director as well as the benefits for both the Executive Director and the Administrative Associate. The Foundation only funded the Administrative Associate’s salary. Under the new agreement, the Foundation will now contribute 50% of the total cost for both salaries and benefits. In addition to changes in the cost-sharing structure, the job description and responsibilities of the administrative assistant are being restructured; the Foundation has requested the position be replaced with a newly defined Foundation Marketing & Development Specialist role.

This revised structure represents a more balanced financial partnership, reflects mutual investment in the continued success of PEF’s mission, and demonstrates a strong commitment to collaboration in support of PfISD students, staff, and strategic priorities.

Under the updated agreement, PEF will fund 50% of salaries and benefits for key administrative roles, reflecting a balanced cost-sharing structure and continued collaboration with the district.

Agenda Item VI.L – Consider Approval of Purchases in Excess of $50,000

Board Committee Updates

Finance Committee

The Finance Committee met on Tuesday, June 10, 2025 and reviewed several key areas in preparation for the upcoming board meeting. The school year closed with $9,980 in outstanding student lunch balances, a slight decrease from last year’s $10,286. Generous donations were received from Assistance League of Austin ($20,000), A+ Federal Credit Union ($1,684), and Food Fairness ($74,867). As required by TDA regulations, the general fund covers negative lunch balances, with $30,000 budgeted for this purpose.

The board will conduct the public hearing for the 2025-26 budget and tax rate during the regular June meeting due to the fiscal year changing to a July 1 start date. The board will consider adoption of the budgets for the General, Food Service, and Debt Service funds. The $812,234 accelerated instruction budget (required before full budget adoption), and a budget amendment reflecting the fiscal year transition will be presented for approval.

Additional items for consideration include a low attendance waiver for September 19th, related to safety concerns that lowered attendance to 78%, as well as approval of expenditures over $50,000, including the property and casualty insurance renewal.

Tax rate adoption will follow in August after TEA calculates the tax rate.

The committee also discussed the ongoing reliance on average daily attendance (ADA) for funding, with PfISD’s attendance rate currently at 92.3%. Legislative developments such as Senate Bill 4, which proposes raising the homestead exemption to $140,000 and adding exemptions for seniors and disabled individuals, could affect local tax revenue and state aid if passed in November.

Revenue projections for the general fund include $216.5 million from local taxes, $75 million in state aid (including $16 million for TRS On-Behalf, netting $58 million), and $2.7 million in federal funds. School nutrition revenue includes $4 million from local sales, $58,000 in state support, and $11 million from federal reimbursements, which may increase pending Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) campus approvals. Debt service revenue totals $92.2 million, primarily from local taxes and $6.5 million in state hold harmless funds.

General fund expenditures include $178.9 million for instruction, $27.7 million for facilities and maintenance, $11.2 million for transportation, and additional allocations for school leadership, public notices ($35,000), lobbying activities ($5,000), and contributions from the Extended Day Program ($1 million). The current proposed budget reflects a projected deficit of $10.3 million, or approximately 3% of expenditures, which remains within the district’s historical tolerance. This figure is subject to change as legislative outcomes and compensation adjustments are finalized.

Next steps include publishing the required budget notice by June 16th, holding the budget hearing and board meeting on June 26th, awaiting TDA approval for CEP campus adjust- ments, monitoring legislative changes for potential August amendments, and scheduling the next Finance Committee meeting for August 12th.

Next Arrangements

• Post budget notice in the newspaper by June 16th.
• Prepare for budget hearing and board meeting on June 26th.
• Await TDA approval for CEP campuses to adjust school nutrition revenue.
• Monitor legislative updates for potential budget amendments in August.
• Schedule next Finance Committee meeting for Tuesday, August 12th.

Governmental Relations and Community Relations Committee

As of June 2, 2025, the Texas Legislature has officially adjourned Sine Die, marking the close of the 89th Regular Session. While this brings formal proceedings to an end, it also begins a new phase of analysis and preparation. Across Texas, school districts must now assess the implications of new legislation and how best to serve students in its wake.

Throughout the session—and in the months leading up to it—Pflugerville ISD’s Government & Community Relations Committee worked in close coordination with district leadership, trustees, and advocacy partners to elevate local concerns and help shape the public education conversation at the Capitol.

Significant shifts in education funding, student discipline, and parental rights marked this year’s legislative cycle. Our committee took a proactive approach to bill tracking, testimony development, and community engagement—all while laying the groundwork for a year-round advocacy infrastructure that can serve future trustees and stakeholders.

What We Built This Year

In addition to direct legislative engagement, the committee developed tools and proposals to strengthen our district’s long-term advocacy capacity:

• A draft timeline for year-round engagement, distinguishing off-session planning from in-session mobilization.
• A sample testimony development process to help staff and trustees effectively voice local impacts.
• A draft outline for a pre-session community workshop, aimed at empowering families and educators with tools to navigate education policy.
• A proposal for an Advocacy Advisory Committee (AAC) to ensure community voices are part of our legislative response work.
• A collaboration framework with Our Schools Our Democracy and other partners to ad- dress charter transparency and competition.

We also sent the intent to assemble a living resource binder of legislative contacts, timelines, and training materials to support continuity and knowledge transfer as board composition evolves.

Key Legislation and Why It Matters

SB 2 - ESAs

One of the most consequential outcomes of this session was the passage of Senate Bill 2, which establishes a statewide education savings account (ESA) program, commonly referred to as school vouchers. Under this new program, public funds will be allocated to eligible families for use in private or home-school settings, without the same accountability, transparency, or access requirements that public schools are held to.

This measure passed after months of intense debate and was tied closely to broader school finance discussions. Pflugerville ISD joined districts across the state in voicing concerns about the long-term implications of diverting public dollars away from public schools. Our board and administration actively engaged with legislators, submitted opposition letters, and collaborated with regional advocacy networks to highlight the potential equity and funding impacts for our students.

While SB 2 is now law, important questions remain about implementation, funding sustain- ability, and oversight. The district will continue to monitor the rollout closely and advocate for safeguards that protect student equity, public transparency, and adequate funding for all.

HB 2 - Education Funding & Facilities

One of the session’s most closely watched and hard-fought bills, HB 2, ultimately passed, but not without significant revision and tension. The bill allocates additional funding to public schools, including increases for facilities and safety, but it includes complex formulas and constraints that limit flexibility and long-term equity.

Pflugerville ISD actively advocated for improvements to the bill. The board and administration frequently contacted legislators, submitted written testimony, and worked with regional and statewide coalitions to ensure our district’s needs were understood. Despite its passage, HB 2’s final version reflects compromises that will require close monitoring and careful implementation at the local level.

HB 6 - Student Discipline Reform

While HB 6 has been framed by some as a discipline modernization effort, its provisions emphasize punitive measures over supportive interventions. Key elements include:

• Increasing allowable days for in-school suspension to ten days
• Eliminating mandatory DAEP placement for vape possession
• Authorizing funding for virtual DAEP placements

These changes do not fully align with Pflugerville ISD’s current focus on restorative discipline practices, mental health supports, and inclusive behavior frameworks. The committee and administration recognize that this legislation will prompt a necessary review of our local policies. We remain committed to aligning implementation with our district values: supporting student growth, protecting instructional time, and ensuring equitable disciplinary processes.

Other Legislative Developments

• SB 1 (State Budget): Appropriates $338 billion over the biennium, including $8.5 billion in additional funding for public education, $3.1 billion for enrollment growth, and over $50 billion for property tax relief.
• SB 4: Increases the school district homestead exemption from $100,000 to $140,000.
• SB 12 (Parental Rights & DEI Ban): Introduces sweeping restrictions on DEI roles, alters grievance processes, and expands parental notification requirements.
• SB 13 (Library Access & Review): Requires districts to maintain public catalogs of library materials and establishes district-level advisory councils for oversight.
• HB 4 (Accountability Reform): Did not pass. This bill would have overhauled the state testing and accountability system. Its failure maintains the current framework, though future attempts are likely.

SB 414 - Charter School Expansions

Not all victories come from what passes; some come from what doesn’t. SB 414, a bill that would have reduced transparency and oversight in charter school expansion, failed in the House by mere seconds. It was one bill away from reaching the floor when the session clock ran out.

This was not accidental. Pflugerville ISD joined a coordinated, statewide effort to voice con- cern about the bill’s potential to sideline community input and weaken fiscal transparency. Our trustees and advocacy partners sent letters, negotiated with legislators, and mobilized quickly in the final days. SB 414’s narrow defeat was a testament to the power of local advocacy and a reminder that even small margins can have big impacts.

Looking Ahead

This session reinforced a crucial truth: our ability to advocate effectively depends on preparation, partnership, and principle. While we faced setbacks, we also made progress—both in protecting our district’s interests and in building long-term systems for community-informed legislative engagement.

As we look toward the interim period and future sessions, Pflugerville ISD remains committed to leading with transparency, equity, and student-centered advocacy. The work doesn’t end with Sine Die—it evolves.

Thank you for standing with us in this work.
