Round Rock officials passed a balanced budget for the 2026-27 financial year June 16, with an understanding that the board will call a tax rate election for November. 

What you need to know: The district's budget for the upcoming school year will result in a small surplus, district documents show. As reported in May, the version of the budget without the passage of a tax rate election does not include pay raises for employees not covered by House Bill 2. 

The details: Chief Financial Officer Dennis Covington presented a budget projection for the 2026-27 financial year in a June 16 board meeting, showing a planned $486.1 million in expenses against $486.2 million in revenue, resulting in a surplus of $75,000. This surplus is insufficient to cover raises, district staff said in May, as the district would need around $10 million in additional revenue. 

Travis County Commissioners Court voted unanimously June 16 to continue the local disaster declaration County Judge Andy Brown issued June 12 over the threat of New World screwworm, a parasitic fly that can affect livestock, wildlife, pets and, in rare cases, people, according to the county's continuing order. 

The first U.S. case in a decade surfaced June 3 on a calf in La Pryor, in Zavala County near the Texas-Mexico border.

What it means: Brown emphasized the action was not a response to a confirmed local case, while Austin Public Health authority Dr. Desmar Walkes said the risk to humans remains low, although open wounds remain vulnerable. 

Residents who suspect a screwworm case involving wildlife should contact the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department; cases involving livestock and pets should go to the Texas Animal Health Commission, which is leading the state's response.

What to watch for: Residents concerned about a possible human infection should reach an on-call epidemiologist through Austin Public Health at 512-972-5555.
