Budget Town Hall Meetings: what the state budget cuts mean to Fort Bend ISD
Additional Feb. 17 meeting scheduled FORT BEND ISD – Fort Bend Independent School District is conducting four Town Hall Meetings for community members to learn more about the state budget cuts and the potential impact the cuts could have on FBISD.

Meanwhile, the district must proceed with planning the district budget for next school year with the presumption that it may have to be adjusted after the state adopts its budget.
