Through annual financial audits, ongoing financial planning and transparent reporting, the district works to maintain accountability and identify opportunities to use resources effectively. 

The district’s financial oversight supports its mission to provide exceptional educational opportunities for every student while navigating the financial chalenges facing public education in Texas.   

“Every dollar entrusted to Boerne ISD represents an investment in our students and their future,” said Wesley Scott, Chief Financial Officer. “Our team remains focused on accurate reporting, compliance, thoughtful planning and making informed financial decisions that support our students, staff, and schools.”
