ECISD faces budget gaps as property values drop in 2015

ECISD leaders analyze 2015 tax values, noting a 10 percent countywide decline from 2014. 2014 certified values were 14.675 billion for Ector County and 14.256 billion for ECISD with mineral oil and gas comprising about a third. If assessed valuation falls, funds drop, forcing possible personnel cuts even as district grows. A coalition seeks to remove homestead exemptions from tax rolls for fairness. Other items include student health recommendations, Orlando orchestra trip, Lemonade Day curriculum, postsecondary readiness, dual credit, salary schedule, and a TexBay purchasing interlocal agreement.

Ector County shows no drought conditions, while counties to the east remain abnormally dry, with 30 percent of the state in moderate to exceptional drought as of Monday, and the 1950s six-and-a-half year drought noted as history.
