The proposed budget for Georgetown ISD for the 2011-2012 school year projects a $3.6 million surplus. Revenues are projected to decrease by $2.5 million from the state due to a revenue deficit, while expenditures are projected to decrease by $6.1 million through reductions in staffing and other areas. The budget maintains the tax rate of $1.04 for maintenance and operations and $0.25 for interest and sinking, for a total tax rate of $1.29. Fund balance is estimated to increase from $16 million in 2010-2011 to $19.6 million in 2011-2012.
