Bryan ISD board approves consent agenda and a principal appointment; parents push for middle‑school wrestling
Summary
The Bryan ISD board unanimously approved the consent agenda and later appointed Dr. Gregory Fohice as a high‑school principal; public commenters urged the district to formalize middle‑school wrestling programs, citing low startup costs and student benefits.
Public commenters urged the board to consider a district middle‑school wrestling program and outlined modest startup costs.
"Starting a UIL wrestling program, middle school program, is not as... costly as we may think," said DJ Dockery, who coaches a local club and described how middle‑school experience feeds varsity success. Cody Welch, a parent, said SFA’s club averages about 20 participants and asked the board to approve a formal middle‑school program to support fundamentals and student engagement.
Board action: The board moved to approve the consent agenda and voted unanimously to adopt it. Trustee Gonzales made the motion and Trustee Felicia Benford seconded. After a closed session, the board reconvened and unanimously approved the superintendent’s recommendation to appoint Dr. Gregory Fohice as principal of Travis B. Bryan High School.
What it means: The consent agenda contained routine items (the board approved them en bloc; no items were removed for separate consideration). The appointment of a high‑school principal is a personnel action the board confirmed after closed deliberations.
Ending: With no further business, the board adjourned. Trustees said they would consider public requests about middle‑school sports during future planning discussions.
