Upcoming homes drive increase in student body Georgetown ISD’s student population is expected to grow by more than 6,000 students over the next decade, according to a Nov. 13 demographic update. In a nutshell Demographer Bob Templeton said the projected 6,181 new students expected by the 2033-34 school year are based on new housing projects. Put in perspective At present, Templeton said Georgetown is seeing two different growth patterns between new and existing homes, with the latter experiencing some difficulty due to rising interest rates. “Low inventory in the existing market is leading to pretty steady, consistent growth in the new housing market but a little bit of a cloudiness that’s due to the rising interest rates [and] high inflation,” Templeton said.

Maximum price set for second ag barn Georgetown ISD trustees approved a max- imum price for the district’s second agri- culture barn Nov. 13, allowing no more than $4,155,500 to be spent on its construction. The details The maximum price for the barn includes an owner contingency of $250,000, a contractor contingency of $100,000 and a cost escalation allowance of $50, per district documents detailing the price cap provided by Chaney-Cox construction. The barn will be located at Georgetown High School. What’s next? District officials will break ground on the new agriculture barn soon, Superinten- dent Devin Padavil said. The new barn is expected to open in fall 2024.
