College Station ISD school board members decide to spend another $2 million dollars out of the district’s savings account for pay raises in the soon to start school year. That’s above the $4 million dollars that will be taken out of what is officially known as fund balance to make ends meet for the 2024-2025 school year. Superintendent Tim Harkrider pointed out what he described as “very nominal student growth” in CSISD, saying if the 1,100 students inside the district boundaries would attend CSISD schools, there would be no budget issue. The CSISD board’s unanimous vote at their July 16th meeting provided another opportunity to bring up that state lawmakers have not increased funding for the last five years. Board member Blaine Decker noted that state lawmakers are receiving a five percent raise. Almost all CSISD employees will be receiving a two percent raise. Bus drivers will be receiving a 2.5 percent raise. Board members learned that out of 14 districts in the region, CSISD has the second lowest teacher turnover rate and is tied with Bryan for the ninth highest pay for first year teachers.

Monday night’s (July 15) Bryan ISD school board meeting included two items involving safety and security. Behind closed doors, board members discussed what the agenda described as the “deployment of critical infrastructure and security devices”. No action followed the executive session. And the board approved the annual agreement with the city of Bryan for school resource officers at BISD junior high and high schools and the district’s alternative school. Security director Rich Himmel said there will continue to be ten officers and one sergeant. The board without comment, unanimously approved the $1 million dollar interlocal agreement. The cost represented an increase of less than one percent. Security at other BISD campuses is provided by a private company.
