ICYMI: Here are the highlights from last night's Springtown ISD Board of Trustees meeting! It was a productive evening focused on setting our district up for a successful 2025-2026 school year.

Key takeaways:

💰 Finances Approved: The Board approved a balanced budget of $45,789,347 and a property tax rate of $1.0317. This budget is designed to support our students and staff effectively.
📈 We're Growing! Our Porcupine family is getting bigger! Student enrollment is now at 4,282, up from 4,194 at the end of last year.
🌟 Focus on Student Success: The Board reviewed the 2025 Accountability Ratings, celebrating our growth and identifying key areas of focus to ensure every student can reach their full potential.
🤝 Community Partnerships: Important agreements were approved, including the renewal of our School Resource Officer (SRO) contract to keep our campuses safe and a partnership with Weatherford College to create more opportunities for our students.

The Springtown Police Department wants to remind our community that school zones will officially be back in effect on the first day of School, August 13th (Wednesday)! 🚦 Please check the school zone times on the graphic below and remember to SLOW DOWN and look both ways for children.

📚 We currently have over 4,400 students registered for the new school year — that’s more than 200 students above last year! While we know first-day “no shows” may bring that number down a bit… that’s still a LOT of Porcupines! 🦔🧡

✅ Be mindful of school zones
✅ Show grace as everyone learns pick-up and drop-off routines
✅ Let’s work together for a safe and smooth start to the year!
