San Angelo's school board has adopted this year's budget for general funds and food and debt services.
Fifty-eight-point-five percent of the total revenue for the general fund comes from the state. Forty-point-six percent comes from local sources. Payroll accounts for eighty-one-million dollars in the hundred-million-dollar general fund.
The Standard-Times reports state funding has increased by three-million dollars. That has made a five-point-five-million-dollar cut from two years ago easier to swallow. It has also allowed the district to add seventeen teachers.
Meanwhile, the district reports an increase from last year's enrollment figures of four-hundred-forty-five students.
The bulk of that uptick has come at the middle and high schools. Central High School has gained one-hundred-fifty-two students.
Board president Lanny Layman says student numbers even out next week to show a clearer enrollment picture.
