The nearly $650 bond is broken into four propositions.
GEORGETOWN, Texas — Georgetown ISD’s board of trustees is calling for a May bond election.
The nearly $650 million bond is broken up into four propositions:
- Proposition A sets aside nearly $580 million for improvements related to growth. It includes funding for construction of a new elementary, middle and high school.
- Proposition B sets aside $20 million for technology improvements.
- Proposition C sets aside $27 million for fine art purposes, including funds for a new performing arts center at East View High School.
- Proposition D is nearly $4 million for athletic upgrades.
The district said if these bond proposals are approved, it would result in a one-cent tax increase per $100 property valuation.
The board’s decision follows a recommendation from the Citizens’ Advisory Committee (CAC) that studied current facilities and facility assessments, demographic reports and enrollment projections, financial information, educational programs and immediate and future needs of the district.
