Bonds 2012 & 2015 are addressing some of these needs.

Current construction projects meet immediate needs,
while also considering future student enrollment growth.

Estimated Tax Values through 2035

Low Wealth to High Wealth

Big changes will affect our tax roll (revenue) very soon
As we transition to becoming a high wealth district, there
will be an even greater need for sound financial planning
More local income also means an increase in
contributions to the state thus, we will continue to rely
on community support
We will continue to exercise a conservative approach to
determine budgets, project revenue, and maintain a
healthy fund balance

Joint School-Library Services

March 22, 2016

Concept & Precedent

The concept of a combined public and

school library is one that has worked for
several communities in Texas and
elsewhere and is being explored for the
City of Portland and Gregory-Portland
ISD to maximize efficiencies with shared
resources.

Potential Advantages
Improved collection of
resources
Maximization of financial
resources
Facilities & Accessibility
Availability of new
technology for community
Enhanced Programs &
Services
Extended Hours of
Operation
Creation of a community
focal point for adults and
youth

Issues to be Considered
A clear sense of our
shared mission would be
vital
Public support and
involvement are essential
Staffing and funding
Blending adult usage with
student usage
Differences in technology
needs for varied library
patrons
