WARNING (LEVEL 7)
District Budget Shows $1.38M Deficit
📅 November 18, 2026
The district’s own budget documents, attached to the agenda, reveal a $1.38 million shortfall for the 2026-2027 fiscal year, meaning it is spending more than it receives in revenue. This deficit spending is unsustainable and could force a significant property tax increase on homeowners in the near future.
Response

DEMAND ANSWERS: Contact the Lake Worth ISD Board of Trustees (see district website for contact info) and ask: ‘The budget attached to the November 18 agenda shows a $1.38M deficit. How does the board plan to address this structural shortfall without a future tax hike?’
