Board approves $172,000 in TEA‑funded contracts for K–12 math supports
Summary
Brenham ISD trustees approved TEA grant‑funded contracts: $72,000 with NIET for K–5 Bluebonnet math implementation and $100,000 with Great Minds for secondary math, both TEA‑approved providers.
Sarah, the district curriculum staff member, told the board the district received TEA learning‑accelerated grants totaling $344,000 for math: $144,000 for K–5 implementation and $200,000 for secondary math. She explained grant rules require 50% of funding be allocated to TEA‑approved providers and recommended continuing partnerships with NIET for K–5 and Great Minds for secondary math.
A board member moved to approve a contract with NIET in the amount of $72,000 for K–5 math implementation under the Strong Foundations Part C grant; the motion was seconded and carried. The board then approved a $100,000 contract with Great Minds for secondary implementation.
Trustees praised staff for pursuing the grants and noted the contracts will pay for materials and professional development aimed at increasing teacher and principal capacity for high‑quality math instruction across the district.
