Good morning, Georgetown.

Texas lawmakers approved a bill that would abolish the STAAR test if it passes further review; if passed by the Senate and signed by Gov. Abbott, the statewide test will not be given next school year.

Georgetown joined the Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter partnership after voters backed a bond in 2023 and the city council approved an updated agreement last month.

The Commissioners Court set terms that will add shelter services and the transition will begin in mid-July — a move expected to improve care for local pets.
