Bryan ISD school board members during Monday afternoon’s meeting approved moving ahead with repairs at three campuses damaged from last month’s winter storm.
Insurance will cover the more than $331,000 dollars to replace the gym floor at Stephen F. Austin, the heating/air conditioning system at Jones elementary, and the boiler at the former Milam elementary…which currently houses BISD’s special education department.
Monday’s meeting began with superintendent Christie Whitbeck and chief of staff Ginger Carrabine recognizing maintenance workers for going above and beyond before, during, and after the winter storm.
Carrabine described the maintenance department’s actions as “heroic” and “herculean”, which prevented hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars in additional damage.
