Financial Ambassador Program
Belton ISD values the support and engagement of our community. We strive to keep our community informed about all the great things happening here at BISD.
We are currently hosting our Spring Financial Ambassador Program. Our purpose is to educate our community about the fundamentals of school finance and provide insight into the financial operations of the school district.
This is a three-part series:
- April 24, 2025: A general overview of district financial operations and an introduction to the instructional programs supported by school funding.
- May 29, 2025: An in depth look at school district funding formulas, tax rate and budget adoption and staffing allocations.
- June 18, 2025: An in depth look at the budget process, revenue projections, tax rate calculations and notices and State funding settle-up.
The Financial Ambassador program will explain:
- How school districts are funded
- The formulas that determine school district funding
- The relationship between property taxes and state funds
- How tax rates are calculated and adopted
- How we financially operate as a district
- How staffing is determined, and more.
