Prosper ISD could be facing a $42.2 million shortfall heading into the 2026-27 school year.

Explained: PISD’s budget is made up of a general fund, a child nutrition fund and a debt service fund.

While the child nutrition fund is balanced, the adopted budget shows a $25.1 million shortfall in the general fund and a $17.1 million shortfall in the debt service fund for a combined projected shortfall of $42.2 million.

Dig deeper: Prosper ISD is still a growing district, but the rate of growth has started to slow, Chief Financial Officer Keri Croy said.

As enrollment slows, PISD officials expect to receive less money in allotments while paying more money for recapture, creating a potential budget squeeze.

Stay tuned: Croy called the adopted 2026-27 budget a “near-final budget” and said she was still working to reduce the projected shortfall.

A house in downtown Prosper is set to get a new life as a golf simulator.

What happened: Prosper Town Council approved a rezoning request that will allow the owners to convert a single-family home on Coleman Street into a golf simulator at a June 9 meeting.

How it works: The facility will house four simulator bays that can be reserved online, and members will be able to access the facility for their reservation using a smart lock on the front door.

About two weeks shy of the anniversary of deadly flooding that devastated parts of Central Texas last summer, state lawmakers approved a 115-page report chronicling what they deemed “failures” at Camp Mystic, a Christian youth camp where 27 young girls died.

The details: The family running Camp Mystic was not prepared to respond to a disaster in flood-prone Kerr County and did not act quickly enough to save campers’ lives, investigators said during a June 18 hearing at the Capitol.

Investigators Casey Garrett and Michael Massengale told lawmakers about recent interviews with teenage counselors who witnessed the July 4 tragedy, reiterating a key point from hearings earlier this year: all deaths at Camp Mystic could have been prevented if camp leaders had planned ahead and acted more quickly.

"Nobody had any idea what they needed to be doing, and it crippled them," Garrett said.

Looking ahead: Lawmakers adopted the investigative team’s report, which will be shared with legislative leaders as they draft additional policy changes in response to the flood during the 2027 state legislative session.
