Our Compass:
CISD’s Budget
Navigating Forward with Strategic Focus
Channelview ISD continues to take a proactive and strategic approach as we navigate changing conditions and plan for the future.
From 2024-2025 to 2025-2026, the district’s budget reflects a 2.9% decrease in expenditures,
with adopted revenues of $103,768,895
& expenditures of $106,521,948.
This results in a $2,753,053 planned deficit within the General Operating Budget.
This intentional decision reflects the district’s commitment to maintaining high-quality student programs and services.
At the same time, CISD is experiencing projected enrollment declines,
which will impact state funding.
In response, the district has already begun making thoughtful adjustments to ensure long-term sustainability while continuing to prioritize student outcomes, staff support, and program excellence.
Channelview ISD is positioning itself to remain resilient, responsive, and focused on what matters most – our students.
Taking Care of The Crew
The majority of Channelview ISD’s total operating budget is focused on our incredible crew of approximately 1,400 staff members.
In fact, approximately 85.37% of the district’s budget is allocated to personnel costs (salaries and benefits).
