Finance Facts: As property values continue to rise, the state of Texas continues to decrease the amount of funding it contributes to its public schools, placing the tax burden on its citizens. Even so, GCISD has reduced its tax rate for the fifth consecutive year – https://www.gcisd.net/article/1257958

GCISD will receive nearly $2 million less in state funding next year, despite continued inflation impacting operating costs and additional unfunded mandates, like HB3, which costs the district an additional $787K to be in compliance.

Due to the threat of severe weather Friday evening, the Colleyville Heritage High School Varsity Football Game scheduled for October 27 has been moved. The game will now be on Thursday, October 26, at 7:30 p.m. The game is still at Mustang-Panther Stadium. We are aware that it is senior night and this is an important and special moment for our students and their families. Moving this game ensures all students receive the recognition they deserve tonight instead of the potential cancellation due to weather tomorrow. We ask seniors and their escorts to report to the North end zone at 6:30 p.m. so staff is able to check you in, line you up, and recognize your student's commitment to CHHS.

On October 5, 2023, Governor Abbott released a proclamation calling for a third special session of the 88th Legislature in which school funding was not on the list of the governor’s priorities. To make change, we need to contact our representatives to try and modify the priorities that have been set. Please see the message from Board President Shannon Braun and Superintendent Dr. Schnautz. Within the message, there is a link to a sample letter that you can copy, paste and edit as you see fit into a message to your legislative representatives. https://5il.co/27omn
