Making Sense of
Public School Finance
Committed to transparency, education, & engagement in GISD
Graham ISD has a history of transparency and communication with our families and community. We are also known as a financially sound district earning top ratings for financial integrity. However, school finance is a complicated topic and we want to ensure understanding and help you make sense of how we spend our dollars to support students, staff and programs.
This website will provide you with easy-to-understand facts about school finance in Texas, our budget, the local tax rate, and how attendance impacts our dollars.
Meet Bill!
We’ll call him our Texas school finance and Graham ISD budget spokesperson. Bill will be your guide as you explore the world of school finance. Our goal is to have Bill break down complex issues into easy to understand facts and figures. He’ll help us crunch numbers and show the impact of state, federal and local funding on the GISD budget.
