Budget and Finance Overview

2012

1

2011 Legislative Session reduced all public school funding by $4 billion in foundation school program funding and an additional $1.5 billion in grant money for educational support programs.

GISD has had to re-evaluate spending levels due to the reduction in State and Federal revenue and from budget adjustments related to frozen revenue levels (6 years) and increased operational costs.

Georgetown ISD’s State revenue was reduced by $4.8M in 2011-12 and will be reduced an additional $2.4M in 2012-13. There were also other reductions in State grant funding and Federal entitlement money.

GISD received $1.6M in EduJobs money in 2011-12 and will not receive these funds in future years.

In 2006, GISD became a Chapter 41 recapture

district as legislative per student funding

levels were frozen.

There were continued staff additions to

serve the 2-4% student growth.

Operational expenditures increased to serve

additional students/staff growth.

Budgets increased annually (see slide).

87% of annual GISD budget is personnel.
