Board approves TEA grant‑funded contracts for K–12 math programs
Summary
Brenham ISD approved contracts to use TEA grant funds for K–5 and secondary math implementation: $72,000 with NIET for K–5 and $100,000 with Great Minds for secondary math, as part of $144,000 (K–5) and $200,000 (secondary) awards tied to TEA requirements.
District curriculum staff presented two TEA grant awards and asked the board to approve vendor contracts to implement the district's selected math materials.
Staff said the district won TEA 'Learning Accelerated Support Opportunity' grants totaling $144,000 for K–5 math implementation and $200,000 for secondary math. They noted that per TEA grant requirements, 50% of the funding must be allocated to a TEA‑approved provider. Sarah described continuing the K–5 partnership with the National Institute for Excellence in Teaching (NIET) and asking the board to partner with Great Minds for secondary materials, saying teachers and principals gave "rave reviews" of Great Minds' secondary materials.
Trustees approved a $72,000 contract with NIET for K–5 implementation and a $100,000 contract with Great Minds for secondary math implementation; motions and seconds were recorded and votes carried.
Staff stated the expenditures reflect grant requirements and are intended to improve teacher capacity and districtwide math instruction.
