Wylie ISD trustees approved the district’s 2026-27 budget during their June 16 meeting, adopting a spending plan that projects a nearly $15 million deficit while providing pay increases for teachers and staff and maintaining the current tax rate.
The meeting began with recognitions, including the introduction of Leslie Dodson as director of secondary curriculum and career and technical education, Jennifer Temesvary as director of career and technical education, Heather Beaty as director of special education and Morgan Power as principal of Tibbals Elementary School.
Trustees then heard public comments on non-agenda items, many of which centered on the World Hijab Day incident at Wylie East High School in February. Several students spoke about their concerns regarding former Principal Tiffany Doolan following the incident and the district’s response.
