Brenham ISD Board Meeting 6-15-2026 Regular Board Meeting

The Brenham Independent School District Board of Trustees held a regular meeting on June 15, 2026, focusing on several procurement and budget-related topics. Key procurement discussions included the acceptance of a $4,000 donation to the junior high science department to support teacher development and materials, and the approval of a $73,105 purchase of HMH social studies instructional materials for grades 6 through 12, funded through the Texas Education Agency's instructional materials and technology allotment. The board also received an update from Rice and Gardner, the project managers for the district's deferred maintenance bond program, outlining the initial 90-day plan for facility improvements, scope development, and upcoming bidding processes. Financial updates highlighted the district's efforts to improve its fund balance, with projections indicating a potential $1 million increase by fiscal year-end, and discussions on budget amendments to reallocate funds for maintenance tax note payments. The board approved these budget amendments and emphasized the importance of staff raises and prudent financial stewardship moving forward.
