Financial Transparency

Our mission is to support Spring ISD and our community. One way we can achieve this is providing transparency through accounting, accounts payable, budget, business systems, cash management and payroll. Financial transparency is an ongoing goal for Spring ISD.

Where Does Our Money Come From?

Local

Local sources of revenue generated 43.42% of all sources of revenue and decreased by 1% from the previous fiscal year due to a tax rate decrease required by House Bill 3. Local revenues include property taxes, earnings on investments, and tuition and fees; nearly all of local revenues come from the collection of property taxes –what you, as a citizen, pay for educating our students.

State

State sources of revenue that support the general fund are the most significant for the district, representing 54.55% of all available sources of funding. State revenues decreased by 5% from the previous fiscal year. The decrease is due to a portion of the Foundation School Program (FSP) revenue being funded through the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency (ESSER) as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Securities (CARES) Act.

Federal

Revenues received from federal sources constitute 2.03% of total revenues; fiscal year 2020 federal revenues experienced a decrease by 44% as a result of two one-time payments received in fiscal year 2019 for School Health and Related Services (SHARS).
