Last night, the Del Valle ISD Board of Trustees adopted a $142 million budget for the 2026–2027 school year.

The adopted budget:
• Includes one-time retention payouts for all staff
• Maintains top teacher pay & staff insurance contributions in the Austin-area
• Protects student opportunities through strategic internal efficiencies

Later this summer, district administration will propose a Voter-Approved Tax Rate Election (VATRE). If approved by voters in November, the VATRE would generate approximately $13.6 million in additional local funding to support permanent staff raises and long-term budget stability. For the average Del Valle homeowner, the estimated impact would be about $5.75 per month.

The additional funding would support permanent staff raises, the opening of our new high school in 2028, and greater long-term budget stability for DVISD.
