Facilities Planning Committee
The Facilities Planning Committee met for the second time last night. This meeting was held at Gainesville Junior High and included presentations from our Director of Finance, Dr. Jon Hill, and our GISD Financial Advisor Doug Whitt. They went into detail on school finance as a whole, GISD finances, and our GISD bond history and current bond capacity. The meeting wrapped up with a facilities needs vs wants exercise with the facilities needs that the committee collectively determined at the last meeting.
The next and potentially final meeting will be held at on December 12 at 5pm at Chalmers Elementary.
