Georgetown ISD board authorizes land purchase for northwest high‑school site
Summary
Trustees authorized the superintendent to execute closing documents, an exchange contract and a development agreement to buy roughly 10.1 acres to complete a 110‑acre parcel for a future high school in northwest GISD; the motion was made by Trustee Hirsch and approved by voice vote.
The Georgetown Independent School District Board of Trustees voted during a Feb. 4 workshop to authorize staff to close on a land purchase in northwest GISD to complete a 110‑acre parcel intended for a future high‑school site.
The superintendent recommended board authorization to execute the closing documents, the exchange contract and the development agreement, and to authorize the board secretary to sign a certificate of resolutions memorializing the board action. Trustee Hirsch moved the motion and trustees seconded; the board approved the motion by voice vote with the president stating, "Motion carries."
Why it matters: Acquiring this approximately 10.1‑acre tract completes a larger parcel planned for future secondary facilities and provides the district with the site control needed for long‑range facilities planning.
What was decided: The board authorized the superintendent to execute closing documents and related agreements and authorized the board secretary to execute a certificate of resolutions. No roll‑call tally of votes was recorded on the public record during the voice vote; the president announced the motion carried.
Next steps: District staff will proceed with closing and related development‑agreement paperwork as authorized and will incorporate the acquisition into the district’s facilities planning and budget forecasting.
