Fort Stockton ISD

What Fort Stockton ISD does

Fort Stockton Independent School District (Fort Stockton ISD) is a public K-12 school district and political subdivision of the State of Texas, headquartered at 101 W. Division in Fort Stockton, Texas. Founded in 1890, the district serves students residing within Pecos County through five core campuses: Alamo Elementary, Apache Elementary, Fort Stockton Intermediate School, Fort Stockton Middle School, and Fort Stockton High School. The district also operates two ancillary programs — the Butz Childcare Center (serving infants through preschoolers, Monday-Friday 7:30-4:45) and the Butz Preparatory Academy (a Disciplinary Alternative Education Program for grades 6-12). Governance is provided by a seven-member elected school board representing seven single-member wards, with the Superintendent of Schools serving as the operational leader.

The district's service portfolio spans core academic instruction aligned to Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills standards via the TEKS Resource System, Career and Technical Education with dual credit pathways through Midland College, special education and Section 504 services, bilingual/ESL programs, gifted and talented programs, athletics, food services (free meals to all students under the Community Eligibility Program), and transportation. The supporting technology stack includes Finalsite (website), Ascender TxEIS (student information system), Schoology (LMS), Google Workspace, ClassLink (SSO), DMAC Solutions (assessment), Eduphoria (instructional tools), Rank One (athletic management), ParentSquare (family communication), Destiny (library catalog), TexQuest (digital resources), MySchoolBucks (meal payments), Hudl (athletics tickets), and Frontline Education/AESOP (substitute management).

Fort Stockton ISD is funded primarily through state formula funding from the Texas Education Agency based on average daily attendance, supplemented by local Maintenance and Operations property tax revenue (current rate $1.0300 per $100 valuation) and voter-approved bond issuances for capital projects. Recent bond activity includes Prop C ($5,000,000 for stadium facilities) and Prop B ($10,340,000 refinancing bonds for previously issued maintenance tax notes). The district also generates minor transactional revenue from staff and visitor meals ($3.50 breakfast, $5.25 lunch) and fee-based childcare services. The district lost approximately $3 million annually with the end of the Formula Transition Grant at the close of the 2023-2024 school year, and current property tax collections reflect an approximately $1.39 million change versus the prior year due to property value increases.
