Brazosport College renews dual credit agreement with BISD for educational services

The Brazosport Independent School District (BISD) Board Meeting held on July 14, 2025, focused on several key topics, including updates on educational programs and upcoming events.

One of the main discussions centered around the renewal of a memorandum of understanding with Brazosport College regarding dual credit educational services and adult education programs. Board member Mr. Atkins emphasized the importance of this program, requesting an update for the next meeting on the number of students graduating with associate degrees and participating in adult education. He noted that while the program incurs some costs for the district, funding from the state legislature has helped cover many expenses.

Additionally, the board celebrated the achievements of students at the recent Braden's Award Night, where over $400,000 in scholarships and grants were awarded. Board members expressed pride in the accomplishments of students, highlighting their participation in national competitions across the country.

Looking ahead, the board scheduled its next work session for June 16, where further discussions and training will take place. The meeting concluded with a brief executive session to address various legal and personnel matters, as permitted by the Texas Open Meetings Act.

Overall, the meeting underscored the board's commitment to enhancing educational opportunities and supporting student success within the community.
