Board approves Communities In Schools MOU for junior high and elementary over one dissent
Summary
Brooks County ISD approved a 2026–2027 MOU with Communities In Schools for services at the junior high and elementary level; the measure passed 6–1 with Trustee Maria E. Anzualda recorded as opposed.
Principals and Gloria Taylor, director of Communities In Schools (CIS), presented program results and student participation figures during the March 25 board meeting. The board then voted 6–1 to approve an MOU with CIS for services at the junior high and elementary campuses for the 2026–2027 school year; Trustee Maria E. Anzualda cast the lone vote against the agreement.
Trustee Dominique C. Alegria moved for approval and Trustee Veronica R. Tijerina seconded. Board discussion centered on campus needs and how CIS services would support student outcomes; the motion passed with one dissent. The CIS director’s slide presentation summarized recent achievements and student numbers, though the transcript records numbers as program achievements without specific enrollment figures in the public minutes.
The board’s approval authorizes the administration to implement CIS services next school year. Details on formal performance metrics and funding were presented by CIS during the meeting but are not fully enumerated in the minutes; the superintendent and principals will coordinate implementation details.
