On the Road to Financial Health…by Superintendent Dr. Jill Siler
As I have been sharing with you all year, Gunter ISD has been facing significant financial
challenges. We have made substantial strides in closing the gap with a half million dollar
decrease in non-personnel reductions last summer and a very successful early resignation
program earlier this year. Last week I brought forth my final recommendation to the
Board that included a Reduction in Force that has impacted 5 positions amongst our staff.
Each of these individuals has done an absolutely tremendous job for Gunter ISD for many
years and it is a devastating loss. While this decision to go into a RIF has been the most
difficult decision to date, it was absolutely necessary to put us on the road to financial
solvency. By taking this action, we have secured our financial health for the next several
years while we weather the loss of Tioga students and the continued loss of state funding.
Leading the Way in Academic Excellence…
I also wanted to share some great news in the realm of academics. This past month we received our 2012 STAAR
Results from the state assessments last spring and WOW, did our students do AMAZING! As you can see below,
Gunter students dominated not just across the state but in our region as well. This is a tremendous accomplishment for everyone in our system!

In closing, I’ll share a quote that was printed in the Herald Democrat just last week:
“This has been a tremendously difficult year because it’s not just about finances, it’s about people,” Siler said.
“Our performance has been exceptional and the performance of this district has been exceptional because of the
people who are in it.”
I want to thank the Gunter ISD staff for the AMAZING work they continue to do, even in the midst of this
financial challenge. And I want to thank the community of Gunter (along with the many families from outside
our borders who are part of our Tiger family) for your continued support of the GREAT things going on in
Gunter ISD! Go Tigers!




Dr. Siler presented a review of financial challenges, financial goals for 2013‐14 & beyond and current status on overall
reductions. Some of the reasons GISD is facing this challenge include the following:
1. Gunter ISD took a 10% reduction in state funding in 2011 and an additional 5% hit in 2012 (over $750K).
2. Enrollment in GISD has declined by 10% since 2006‐07 and is projected to fall another 5‐10% in the next four years.
3. Property values in Gunter ISD have declined by $15 million since 2009‐10.
4. Tax rates are at their cap at $1.17 for the operating budget allowing for no access to further revenue.
5. The opening of Tioga High School had a profound financial impact on Gunter ISD with a projected loss of nearly
$1.6 million over the next four years.
6. The fund balance of GISD had fallen to less than 5% of the overall budget ($474,722) and is now at $875,000, well
below the recommended level of $1.2‐1.6 million, prohibiting us from “weathering” the financial storm any longer.
Dr. Siler shared the cost saving measures to this point including cutting $500,000 in non‐personnel reductions over the
summer, offering an Early Resignation Incentive that garnered $425,000 in savings, expanding our Early Childhood Program to include a full‐day care option for 3 & 4 yr olds as well as an afterschool ExtendedCare Program for elementary students until 6pm. Dr. Siler also shared that we will still face a significant deficit budget next year and the years following
without further reductions. The recommendation was presented to continue through a final phase of reductions by doing a
Program Change through a Reduction in Force.

The Board approved the reduction in force due to a program change that requires the discharge or nonrenewal of one or
more employees in accordance with Board Policy DFF (LEGAL).

The Board approved Maintenance & Grounds Personnel, Elementary Classroom Teachers (PK‐4) and Professional Instructional Personnel as the employment areas to be affected by the reduction in force pursuant to DFF (LEGAL).
Brad Vibbard from EFI presented an expansion of services offered for maintenance & grounds that would save the district over $90,000.

The Board approved to outsource maintenance & grounds and to maintain one GISD maintenance employee.

Holloway earns Eagle Scout Award
GHS Senior Logan Holloway was recently presented
his Eagle Scout Award. Logan is the son of John and
Leilani Holloway of Gunter. Logan belongs to Troup 93,
sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day
Saints in Sherman.
His Eagle project was to design and build improvements to the Gunter City Park. His projects included a
special bench that goes all around a tree, and two
other benches. He and his team also added two tether
ball stations, and painted the present equipment in the
park.
ABOVE: State Representative Larry Phillips presented Logan with a Texas flag that flew over the State
capitol. Gunter Mayor Mark Merrill also presented
Logan with a Thank-you letter from the city for his
work.
The Grayson College 2013 Annual

FFA NEWS
The Gunter FFA cattle exhibitors are having their best
showing ever as a group at statewide stock shows.
Members have collected more top 10 placings at major
shows than any other year.
Exhibiting these animals successfully is a big accomplishment. With the help of parents and some GISD transportation, the animals and all the equipment and feed/hay
needed must be transported each time to shows. The FFA
members have put much into these projects and their parents are important for encouragement and guidance. The
efforts are rewarded on show day.
The most important event is the Texoma Exposition and
Livestock Show on March 25-29 @ the Loy Park Show
Grounds in Denison. Gunter FFA exhibits will have members showing cattle, goats, rabbits, broilers, barrows, Ag.
Mechanics projects, and creative arts projects.
