Commissioners approve school‑land disbursements, treasurer reports Brenham’s $295,002.68 share
Summary
Washington County approved the 2024–25 school‑lands report and disbursement; county treasurer reported Brenham ISD would receive $295,002.68 after expenses, while the transcript record of Burton ISD’s share is unclear and appears garbled.
Washington County Commissioners Court on Nov. 10 approved the county treasurer’s 2024–25 school‑lands report and the disbursement of lease proceeds to the Brenham and Burton independent school districts.
County treasurer Miss Kramer presented the report and the calculations derived from Concordia County leases for cultivation, hunting and grazing. She told the court that, after expenses, Brenham’s allocation would be $295,002.68. The transcript’s rendering of Burton’s share appears garbled in the record; the stated amount is recorded as “$41.28 dollars and 20¢,” which is not internally consistent in the transcript and could not be reliably confirmed from the audio transcript provided.
A commissioner moved to approve the report “as presented by the county treasurer,” the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote.
Why it matters: School‑land proceeds support local school districts’ budgets and maintenance funds. The court’s approval finalizes distributions for the year and authorizes the treasurer to disburse funds.
What the court recorded: Miss Kramer summarized receipts from cultivation and lease activity and the split by average daily attendance percentages; commissioners voted to accept the treasurer’s calculations and disbursements. The record includes revisions and verbal arithmetic in the presentation that appear partially garbled in the transcription; the Brenham amount is clearly stated in the record, while Burton’s share should be confirmed with the county treasurer’s office for precise accounting.
Next steps: Funds will be disbursed to the named school districts per the approved report. The commissioners did not request additional audit steps in the meeting.
