Board selects Jerry Atkins as delegate for Texas Association of School Boards assembly

The Brazosport Independent School District (BISD) Board convened on July 14, 2025, to discuss key administrative matters, including the selection of a delegate for the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) Delegate Assembly. The board unanimously nominated Jerry Atkins to represent the district at the assembly scheduled for September 13, 2025, in Houston. This assembly is crucial as it allows districts to elect leadership, amend laws, and set advocacy agendas that impact local education policies.

In addition to the delegate selection, the meeting featured a moment of recognition for Lucretia, a teacher from the district's Gifted and Talented Academy, who was acknowledged for her contributions. The meeting also welcomed Terrence Meely, a Boy Scout and senior patrol leader, who attended to fulfill a merit badge requirement. Terrence shared insights about his troop's community service efforts and expressed his aspirations to achieve the rank of Eagle Scout.

The board's next meeting is scheduled for July, where they will continue to address important issues affecting the district. The discussions from this meeting highlight the ongoing commitment of BISD to engage with both educational leadership and community initiatives, ensuring that local voices are represented in broader educational discussions.
