Dear Georgetown Community Members,

On behalf of the Georgetown Exempted Village School's Board of Education, administration, staff, and students, we want to extend our sincere gratitude to the voters of our community for approving the Permanent Improvement Levy on November 4, 2025.

Your support reflects a strong commitment to maintaining safe, modern, and well-equipped schools for our students—today and for generations to come. This
renewal levy will allow us to make improvements to our facilities, technology, and equipment, ensuring that our learning environments continue to inspire excellence and opportunity.

We recognize that this investment represents your trust in our district and in the value of public education. Please know that we take that trust seriously and are committed to using these funds responsibly, efficiently, and transparently. We look forward to keeping you informed as projects move forward and improvements take shape across our schools.

Thank you again for believing in our students and in the future of our community. Together, we are building something lasting and meaningful for all who call Georgetown Schools home.

With Gratitude,
Brad Winterod - Superintendent of schools
