Bryan ISD trustees approve superintendent contract amendment, finalize evaluation instrument

The Bryan ISD Board of Trustees approved an amendment to Superintendent Ginger Carrabines contract and finalized the districts superintendent evaluation instrument following a closed session on Jan. 20, 2026.

Board member Julie Harlin moved the motions in open session after the board reconvened at 10:02 p.m. "I move that the Board of Trustees finalize the Superintendent evaluation instrument as discussed in closed session," the minutes state. The board then voted to amend the superintendents contract and authorized Board President Joel Bryan to execute the amendment. The motion carried: Yea 6, Nay 0, Absent 1 (Tim Pavlas).

The approval followed a closed session called at 7:02 p.m. under provisions of the Texas Government Code related to personnel and real-property matters and a student-related matter. The minutes note the subjects discussed included appointment, employment and evaluation of public officers and the superintendent's summative evaluation and contract terms. The boards public minutes record no formal action taken while in closed session; the formal motions were made after reopening.

The meeting record does not specify the contract amendments financial terms, effective date, or any changes to compensation or performance measures. The minutes state only that the board "amend[ed] the Superintendent's contract as discussed in closed session and authorize[d] the Board President to execute the same." Those details were not included in the public minutes and are therefore not reported here.
