Per an article in the Dallas Morning News Superintendent Michael Hinojosa stated that the majority of the DISD budget is payroll costs. Payroll costs for the DISD is a LARGE amount of the budget, 82 percent. I would hope that the payroll cost numbers include items like insurance, sick pay, retirement contributions, etc. If not then how does the DISD pay the utility bills?
You have heard many rumors about budget reductions from school districts. Each public school district is independent, and each district is in a very different financial position and manages decision-making differently. Do not assume what you hear about other districts is relevant to all school districts.
You will hear about proposed reductions at the state level and proposed legislative action that may impact schools. At the state level nothing is final until it has been through several rounds of sub-committee and committee hearings, and considered by the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the Governor.
Don't believe anyone from either side at this point as to what will be the final outcome, for no one knows at this point and June is a few months out.
Use the Ronald Reagan method of 'trust but verify'.
