Board approves first payment to Rice & Ryerson Gardner program manager

Brenham Independent School District Board of Trustees · July 21, 2026

Summary

The board approved the first payment to the program manager contracted to oversee district construction projects; trustees discussed contract term, incentives and the contingency for earlier completion.

The Brenham ISD board approved the first contract payment to the program manager retained to oversee bond-era construction work. Superintendent Clay Gillentine said the program manager was hired to manage the large volume of facilities work and that payments are scheduled as work progresses.

Trustee Justin Collie moved to approve the payment to Rice & Ryerson Gardner; Kelvin Raven seconded the motion, and the board approved it by voice vote. In discussion Eric (Ryerson Gardner) explained the contract term was drawn with a maximum period and that a deductive change order would apply if the program completed early, providing incentive to finish ahead of schedule.

What’s next: The program manager will continue monthly updates to the board and staff will return with contract language clarifications if trustees request further detail.
