Brazosport Board reviews 2025 bond program with committee member highlights

The Brazosport Independent School District (BISD) Board Meeting held on January 13, 2025, focused on recognizing committee members and discussing the upcoming bond program. The meeting began with acknowledgments of key individuals involved in the district's initiatives, including students and committee members.

Chairperson highlighted the presence of student representatives from Brazosport High School and Brazoswood High School, specifically recognizing Miss Zoey Black for her contributions. Other committee members acknowledged included Doctor Jarrett Johnson, Monica from BLK, Mike Carter, and Michelle Griffith. The board also recognized Chelsea Gonzalez, the elementary district teacher of the year, and athletic director Jay Zeller for their service.

The discussion then shifted to the proposed 2025 bond program. The chairperson emphasized the importance of understanding changes in state statutes since the 2019 bond, which now require special purpose items to be distinctly separated from general purpose propositions. This clarification is crucial as the board prepares for the final recommendation regarding the bond program.

The meeting underscored the collaborative efforts of the committee and the importance of adhering to state regulations in the planning of future projects. The board is expected to continue discussions on the bond program in upcoming meetings, ensuring that all stakeholders are informed and engaged in the process.
