Most people in our district and community have heard about the budgetary struggles many districts across the state are facing in the upcoming school year (2024-25).
As a way of enhancing the education of our community, Gunter ISD has invited Mr. Lucas Janda from Frost Bank to host a school finance informational meeting on Wednesday, June 12 at 6:00 PM in the high school cafeteria. Mr. Janda spent 13 years serving as CFO for Leander ISD, Forney ISD and Stafford MSD before moving into the private sector with Frost Bank.
Mr. Janda will address the following topics (and more):
The 2023-2024 budget and the 2024-2025 budget
How state and local revenue affect each other
General increases in Gunter ISD expenditures
Gunter ISD’s recapture payments
Gunter ISD’s school tax history
To help clarify a very complicated school finance system, Mr. Lucas was recently invited to speak to the Dallas area school finance and district leaders. Gunter ISD is excited to have the opportunity for him to share his knowledge with our community and we hope you will join us. Having knowledge from both perspectives, public and private, we are sure he will be able to answer any questions you may have regarding Gunter ISD's financial position.
