Summary
As part of consent items, the district authorized the superintendent to obligate the district to enter an Agreement to Purchase Attendance Credit under Texas Education Code for school year 2025‑26; the agreement is subject to voter approval and initial payments are tied to the commissioner's estimate.
The Georgetown ISD Board of Trustees authorized delegation of contractual authority to the superintendent to obligate the district under provisions of the Texas Education Code to enter an Agreement to Purchase Attendance Credit for the 2025‑26 school year.
The board packet describes the agreement as being entered pursuant to TEC Chapter 49 and related provisions, explaining that "The purpose of this agreement is to enable the district to reduce its local revenue level to a level not to exceed the level established under TEC, §48.257 for the school year." The agreement is subject to voter approval; initial payments will be based on the Texas Education Agency commissioner's estimate of total cost and later reconciled once final data are available.
Board materials note the district's county‑district number (246‑904) and that any reduction for county appraisal district costs will be computed per TEC guidance. The delegation was approved as part of the consent agenda in a unanimous vote.
