Early voting has begun. GISD's tax proposal is near the end of the ballot. Voting "For" allows the ISD to increase the M&O rate by 3 cents. GISD would then lower the I&S rate by 3 cents so the overall tax rate would remain at 97 cents. The new State revenue would be used to balance the current budget.
Voting "Against" the tax proposal would require GISD to reduce its current budget by $800,000, yet the tax rate would stay at the 97 cent rate. Since the State budgeted for GISS passing the proposal, the state would hold onto the funds versus releasing them to GISD.
Members of the Principal's 100 Club joyfully celebrated with a silly string party this afternoon. These exemplary students have consistently demonstrated their respect, responsibility, and eagerness to learn, making this a well deserved celebration!
