Jarrell ISD voters to see $113.37 million bond on May ballot

Projections also indicate that in the next five years, Jarrell ISD is projected to exceed 4,500 students, officials said.

If approved by taxpayers, the bond will not increase the school district tax rate due to rapid growth in the community, paying off precious bonds early and refinancing for better rates, district officials said.

Approximately 4,179 Georgetown voters are in the JISD school district and will see the bond on their May ballot.

Early voting runs April 19-27 without Sunday voting. Election day is May 1. Early voting locations can be found here.
