BURTON SCHOOL BOARD TERMINATES CONTRACT WITH DSA
Burton ISD trustees voted unanimously at a called meeting this (Monday) morning to approve a resolution terminating the district’s contract with DSA, Inc.
The school district has been under contract with DSA for construction manager agent services since the passage of the November 2021 school bond proposal.
Frustration has grown in the school community as the bond project has lagged behind schedule. When trustees learned at their regular meeting on May 13th that several bond contracts had not been signed by the school district for months, they criticized DSA representatives for not alerting them sooner.
Interim Burton ISD Superintendent Rob Barnwell told KWHI in a statement that today’s action was “determined to be necessary.” Barnwell said, “The district is currently investigating the appropriate steps to take in order to ensure the BISD construction project can move forward in a timely and effective manner.”
