Budget and Compliance Office
The Budget & Compliance Office is responsible for the preparation, adoption, support and monitoring of the Lamar CISD's annual budget. The Texas Education Code (TEC), Chapter 44, governs the process for Texas school district budget preparation and adoption. The Board of Trustees must adopt annually a budget consisting of three areas: General Fund, Debt Service and Food Service.
Lamar CISD has an annual operating budget of over $473 million. This money is expended for salaries, student services, school and facility maintenance, and much more. In addition, construction of new campuses and support facilities are funded through bond funds along with renovations to existing campuses.
