BOARD MEETING HIGHLIGHTS | AUGUST 24, 2026

There is a lot of great news to share from Monday night’s Springtown ISD Board of Trustees meeting!

💰 BUDGET & TAX RATE
The Board approved a balanced 2026–2027 budget of $48,296,198 and adopted a tax rate of $1.0206 per $100 valuation.

When information about the 2025 Bond was shared with our community prior to the election, projections anticipated that the District’s tax rate would increase if the bond passed.

The bond passed - but the tax rate DECREASED! 🎉

Last year’s rate was $1.0317, compared to the newly adopted rate of $1.0206. We are incredibly proud to continue investing in the future of Springtown ISD while remaining responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars.

ACCOUNTABILITY HIGHLIGHTS
🔸Reno Elementary - 85 (B) + TWO State Distinctions
🔸 Springtown High School - 84 (B) + Postsecondary Readiness Distinction
🔸 Springtown Middle School - Exited Comprehensive Support & Improvement (CSI) status

👥 ENROLLMENT UPDATE
Springtown ISD is currently serving 4,272 Porcupines across the district.

The Board also approved several items supporting our students, staff and district operations, including fall fundraisers, curriculum resources, library materials, concussion protocols, budget amendments and more.

We appreciate our Springtown ISD Board of Trustees for their continued leadership and commitment to our students, staff and community.
