School FIRST Ratings

The state’s school financial accountability rating system, known as the School Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas (FIRST), ensures that Texas public schools are held accountable for the quality of their financial management practices and that they improve those practices. The system is designed to encourage Texas public schools to better manage their financial resources to provide the maximum allocation possible for direct instructional purposes.

Debt Transparency

Burleson ISD's debt takes the form of tax-supported bonds. As a result of outstanding bonded indebtedness, a portion of the District tax rate (the Interest & Sinking, or I&S, portion) is devoted exclusively to servicing these debts. To increase the amount of outstanding bonded debt, the District would have to receive voter approval, through an election, before issuing any new bonds. Burleson ISD does not have any revenue-supported debt or lease-purchase/lease-revenue debt.
