BRENHAM SCHOOL BOARD TO HEAR PRESENTATION FROM BOND PLANNING COMMITTEE
The Brenham School Board will meet Tuesday to receive a presentation from Brenham ISD’s bond planning committee.
The presentation will include a recommendation for a possible bond election. In May, voters rejected the district’s $153.9 million bond proposal calling for a new junior high school, improvements to the Career and Technical Education Department, upgrades to the field house locker rooms and cafeteria, a band marching pad, and enhancements to accessibility, security and fiber internet.
Since the election, the committee group has met to gather information on why residents voted the way they did in order to provide the board with a follow-up recommendation. The district also created a community poll to gauge voters’ opinions.
Conversation after May’s vote has revolved around the junior high school. At the board’s meeting on May 16th, several trustees spoke on the need to address the campus and the possibility of a future bond proposal focusing solely on it.
The only other action item on the agenda is potential approval of a laptop refresh at Brenham Middle School. Trustees will then hold an executive session to discuss personnel matters.
The board will meet Tuesday at noon at the Brenham ISD Administration Office. The meeting will be livestreamed on Brenham ISD’s YouTube channel.
