District overview
Williamstown Independent School District
Funding structure, how it compares to peers, and where major projects stand.
What the current public record shows
State SEEK funding, local taxes, and opening reserves shape the district budget. The FY27 General Fund plan includes opening resources and state on-behalf accounting entries, while the FY25 audit supplies the latest reviewed audited outcomes. Three K–12 schools have SBDM councils, and Head Start has a Policy Council, but current council records were not found.
FY25 audit was unmodified
The auditor reported no material weaknesses, significant deficiencies, material noncompliance, or questioned-cost findings, while a separate management letter identified two corrected-process items.
Current rules cover phones and AI
Phone use is restricted during instruction, and electronic-media policy requires responsible AI procedures that distinguish legitimate help from cheating.
A facilities project remains underway
Three proposed Head Start/Preschool/Multipurpose pay applications total $226,987.27 through October, without establishing payment or full project cost.
Leadership is under contract through 2030
A signed contract retains Superintendent John Slone through June 30, 2030 at a first-year salary of $150,000.
Agenda items are proposals unless a signed contract, policy, audit, or later official record establishes the outcome.
