Trustees voted to commission a citizens bond advisory committee to review facility needs and recommend projects limited to a single Proposition A (general proposition) scope; committee to begin mid-September with facility tours in October.

District leaders told trustees the recent federal SHARS cut and other funding pressures reduced reserves and that, absent changes, Belton ISD faces a roughly $2 million shortfall for 2026–27 and may need up to $8.6 million in additional reductions to meet board priorities such as pay raises and capital projects.
