The Bridge City Independent School District Board of Trustees met in a work session Aug. 1 at the district administration building and heard a presentation from Claycomb Architects outlining possible layout options for a proposed Performing Arts Center.

The presentation was informational; trustees did not vote or take formal action. Will Clayton of Claycomb Architects reviewed the options during the meeting at the Bridge City Independent School District Administration Building, 1031 W. Roundbunch Rd.

Trustees Thad Hill, Judy Cole, Rebecca Rutledge, Paul Zoch, Mark Anderson, Jerry McInnis and Mike Johnson attended. Superintendent Dr. Mike Kelly, Chief Financial Officer Tim Woolley and Director of Communications Dawn Martin were present. Representatives from G&G Construction Enterprises also attended. No members of the press were present.

The meeting convened at 8:03 a.m. and adjourned at 9:28 a.m. The minutes record that Claycomb "reviewed the possible layout options for the Performing Arts Center," but contain no detail on specific design choices, cost estimates, funding sources or a timeline for next steps.

Because the session was a work session and no motions or votes were recorded, the district did not adopt any plan or direct staff to proceed with construction at that meeting. The record does not specify when the board might schedule a decision or a public hearing on the project.

The meeting minutes list only the review of layout options and the attendees; they do not describe public comment, budget allocations, or contractor selection. The district and architects will be the appropriate sources for any follow-up details, including design drawings, cost estimates and timelines.
