Background:
This bond proposal was developed by a Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) whose charge was to study growth, facility and equipment needs, as well as student programs in the district, and make a recommendation to the GISD Board. The nearly 80-member committee was made up of a diverse group of parents, staff, community leaders, and residents both new to Georgetown and those who have lived in the district for decades.
Based on the recommendations from the advisory committee, the GISD Board of Trustees unanimously approved an order to call for a $649.5 million bond election that went before voters on May 4, 2024. The bond proposal was made up of four propositions to comply with a state law that requires certain projects to be listed separately on the ballot.
