PUBLIC MEETINGS ON BRENHAM ISD BOND PROPOSAL BEGIN TUESDAY
The first public meeting for residents to learn more about Brenham ISD’s bond proposal is set for tonight (Tuesday).
Citizens can visit the Brenham Junior High School cafeteria at 6 p.m. to walk through Brenham ISD facilities and ask questions about the $153.9 million bond measure coming before voters in May.
Brenham ISD Communications Specialist Brooke Trahan said attendees will be able to receive detailed information on specific aspects of the bond and personally see what projects the district is looking to undertake.
Those who are unable to attend tonight’s meeting will still have opportunities in the coming days and weeks, as there are currently six meetings planned that are open to the general public.
Following tonight’s meeting, another one will be held on Thursday at 6 p.m. at the Chappell Hill Historical Society Museum for Chappell Hill residents.
A facility open tour will take place next Tuesday, April 5th from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at Brenham Junior High School and Brenham High School.
Meetings and open tours will then be held on Wednesday, April 13th at 5:30 p.m. at the Brenham Junior High School cafeteria and Tuesday, April 26th at 6 p.m. at the Brenham High School cafeteria.
The final scheduled public meeting will be a facility tour on Thursday, April 28th from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at Brenham Junior High School.
The bond calls for a new junior high school for grades 6-8 and the repurposing of Brenham Middle School to accommodate students in grades Pre-K-5. All other elementary schools would also serve Pre-K through 5th grades.
In addition, the bond would fund several upgrades at the high school, including an expanded Career and Technical Education (CTE) building and CTE renovations, upgrades to the field house locker rooms and cafeteria and a band marching pad. The proposal would also support districtwide accessibility and security improvements and fiber internet enhancements.
More information on the bond proposal is available at www.brenhamisd.net.
Early voting for the bond runs April 25-29 and May 2-3 at the Washington County Courthouse Annex. Election Day is Saturday, May 7th.
