GCISD is projected to lose $30 million dollars this year to Robin Hood recapture. It has lost over $1 billion dollars to Austin since recapture began in GCISD.
Besides state-mandated "Robin Hood" recapture payments, GCISD's funding decline is primarily tied to a decline in student enrollment.
More students = more money; fewer students = less money.
Expanded enrollment, passed a VATRE, added bus advertising, gained a corporate sponsorship with Baylor Scott & White, added long-term cell tower leases, continued pursuit of grant funding, implemented a tax return option (as requested by taxpayers), and more.
