Houston ISD leaders still plan to hold off on campus level cuts as TEA is set to takeover district.
by roughly $40 million after an outcry from the Board of Trustees, which insisted against campus-level cuts. That leaves cuts of just $15.3 million to the HISD central office with the district facing a projected $118 million deficit that could rise to $258 million by the 2024-2025 school year, as enrollment drops and pandemic-related funds dry up.
HISD expects enrollment to continue to decline by nearly 3 percent between this school year and the next, from roughly 189,000 students to 184,000. The district's enrollment has already fallen by about 31,000 students since the 2016-2017 school year, according to HISD data.
