Trustees recognized community partners and CTE students, approved the consent agenda including MOUs with Sam Houston State University and a low attendance waiver, and passed three action items (Skyward contract, Connections Education partnership, FDA policy update) unanimously.
The Bryan ISD Board of Trustees used the May 4 special meeting to recognize community partners and student achievements, and to take several routine and substantive votes.
Deputy Superintendent Dr. Brian Merrell recognized the Brazos County Health District as an Essential Eight Community Partnership Awardee for school gardens, and he and Director of CTE Laura King celebrated Career and Technical Education students who participated in the Brazos County Youth Livestock Show. The board also recognized architectural partners involved in 2025 Bond planning.
On the consent agenda, Trustee Felicia Benford moved approval of all listed consent items and Trustee Ruthie Waller seconded; the board approved the consent agenda 7–0. Items included approval of April 20, 2026 meeting minutes; Memoranda of Understanding with Sam Houston State University for Grow Your Own and Residency Program allotments; and approval of a low attendance waiver for January 27, 2026.
During the action portion of the meeting the board approved three items by unanimous vote: a Skyward enterprise software support renewal for $278,041, a partnership with Connections Education LLC for virtual learning, and an update to Board Policy FDA (Local) to extend out-of-district transfers to specific district programs. Each motion was made and seconded as recorded in the public minutes.
