Seguin ISD proposes to move money around its general fund while keeping the same $6,814,281 planned draw on reserves.
The proposed general-fund plan pairs $82,748,850 in revenue with $89,563,131 in spending and budgets $6,814,281 from unassigned fund balance. That is the central number in the October proposed amendment: spending exceeds revenue, but the amendment does not increase the budgeted gap.
What the $6.8 million represents
The adopted FY2027 budget listed $82,707,447 in revenue and $89,521,728 in spending, with the same $6,814,281 planned gap. The proposed October totals move both revenue and spending upward by the same amount. Within spending, the amendment shifts allocations among functions, including instruction and school leadership.
A budgeted use of fund balance is a plan to cover a difference between expected income and spending. The amount actually used will depend on the full year's revenue and expenses. For students and families, the consequential question is how much of the district's operating cushion remains after the year closes; the proposed gap alone cannot answer it.
