Join the Facilities Steering Committee
GISD in the process of forming a Facilities Steering Committee (FSC), consisting of community stakeholders, to assess the facilities within GISD. The purpose of the FSC is to gain community input while we study our campus building utilization, student enrollment projections, facility conditions, campus safety and security, equity among school facilities, grade alignment structure, and to consider financial data.
The goal of the FSC is to obtain different perspectives from the entire community and have a committee that represents the interests of all students. GISD will be calling a bond election for the May 2025 election, and we value the input of our community in the process.
The first of three meetings will be held on Tuesday, October 29 from 5 - 7pm. If you are interested in learning more about how you can be involved with the Facilities Steering Committee, please visit our website.
