Grapevine-Colleyville ISD officials presented an updated budget projection for the 2026-27 fiscal year, which could result in a surplus.

Trustees received the update, along with three different compensation adjustment models from a Texas Association of School Boards representative, during the May 18 meeting.

What you need to know: Based on the preliminary budget presented, net revenues for the FY 2026-27 general fund could be nearly $147.37 million, Chief Financial Officer Carla Settle said. Projected general fund expenditures are $147.28 million.

This would result in a projected surplus of $91,112 in the general fund, according to Settle’s presentation.

Diving deeper: GCISD officials also presented updated staffing reduction numbers as part of the budget projection. Based on the new figures, the district could save nearly $5.24 million through targeted reductions for FY 2026-27.

Texas’ sweeping immigration enforcement law can take effect for now, a federal appeals court ruled May 29.

The background: Senate Bill 4 gives Texas officials the unprecedented authority to arrest and deport migrants suspected of crossing the Texas-Mexico border illegally. State lawmakers passed the measure in late 2023, and it has largely been tied up in court since.

The latest: In an unpublished order May 29, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals allowed SB 4 to take effect as the case continues, lifting a lower court order that had blocked portions of the law. 

What they're saying: In a joint statement, a trio of civil rights groups decried the May 29 decision as “disappointing and out of step with the Constitution,” saying that they would continue to fight the law in court.

Gov. Greg Abbott celebrated the order as a “major border security victory.” State agencies have not detailed their plans to arrest, detain or deport migrants under SB 4.
