The following letter from Superintendent Dr. Brad Schnautz was shared with GCISD parents and staff on Monday, October 13, 2025.

GCISD Family,

The work of the Education Master Planning Committee (EMPC) continued last week as it prepares to provide future recommendations to help GCISD reduce operational costs and potentially increase revenue from facilities and programs.

During last week’s session, the group made more progress by focusing on reviewing more potential attendance zones for various consolidation scenarios, analyzing potential savings in operations and staffing, and beginning the development of a rubric that can help guide the committee toward its final recommendations. The committee also gave thoughtful feedback that will help refine this process in the weeks ahead.

Just as before, we have added the agenda and presentation slides from the recent meeting to our website, and since my last message to you all, more answers to frequently asked questions have been added as well. 

We appreciate your continued engagement as we work together to secure a sustainable future for GCISD.

Thank you,

Brad
Dr. Brad Schnautz
Superintendent
