Bridge City ISD board tables resolution on SB 11 'Period of Prayer' and hears candidate introduction
Summary
The board voted to table a resolution concerning SB 11 and the Period of Prayer in Schools; a local candidate for Justice of the Peace introduced himself during public comment and the board received a middle‑school construction update.
At its Jan. 21, 2026 meeting, the Bridge City ISD Board of Trustees voted unanimously to table action on a resolution related to SB 11, commonly described in the minutes as concerning a "Period of Prayer in Schools." Judy Cole moved to table the resolution and Paul Zoch seconded; trustees voted 7–0 to postpone consideration to a later meeting. The minutes record the motion and the unanimous vote but do not record substantive debate on the resolution itself.
One member of the public who had signed up to speak, Jesse Thibodeaux, introduced himself to the board and the superintendent as a candidate for Justice of the Peace, Precinct 3. The transcript records the candidate introduction as part of the public comment sign-up; no policy remarks or requests by the speaker related to the SB 11 item are recorded.
The board also received updates from the Bridge City ISD Educational Foundation about upcoming fundraisers and a construction update on the middle school from Will Clayton of Claycomb Associate Architects; the minutes note the presentations but do not include technical or scheduling details.
The meeting later recessed into closed session under Texas Government Code section 551.074 for the superintendent's evaluation; no action was taken in closed session and the board reconvened before adjourning at 8:15 p.m.
