The College Station ISD school board’s annual review of its School Advisory Health Council (SHAC) focused on student’s use of cell phones. CSISD athletic director Kevin Starnes, who is the administration’s representative on the SHAC, said the council wanted the district to “continue to look at and evaluate cell phone policies to limit distractions/off-task behavior during instructional times”. Starnes said the SHAC made two other recommendations. One was “For CSISD, recommend to have a plan to ensure safety of students arriving/leaving school on bikes”. The other was “that CSISD develop, distribute in the employee handbook, and enforce a policy to limit the screening of paid video advertising presented by any faculty, staff, or substitute member of the district CSISD during school hours or in the classroom.” The conversation also included superintendent Tim Harkrider and several school board members.

Bryan ISD school board members approve the staff’s recommendation to flip the locations of the district’s special education services and M.C. Harris alternative high school. Special education is returning to the former Hammond-Oliver annex from the former Milam elementary building. And the M.C. Harris alternative school will move from the former Hammond-Oliver annex to the former Milam campus. BISD’s auxiliary services director Ron Clary said the switch can be done in time for employees to complete their move in this July before the next school year starts in August. BISD board members during Monday night’s meeting (April 15) awarded a $350,000 dollar construction contract to do what was described as “facility updates” on both campuses. The five board members attending the meeting also expressed no opposition to the staff’s estimates of spending another $138,000 on new furniture, $119,000 in new technology, $7,000 in safety improvements, and $20,000 in moving expenses.
