Bryan ISD School Board Members Get An Update On 2020 Bond Projects

Bryan ISD school board members learn that contracts for building projects and purchases approved by voters in 2020 have come in more than $2 million dollars under budget. Assistant superintendent Kevin Beesaw says renovating the Stephen F. Austin annex came in $2.5 million under budget and the new Sadberry intermediate school, when phase two is completed, is projected to be a little over $1 million under budget. Phase two construction that is underway at Sadberry involves more parking and a play area among other things. Board president Julie Harlin noted the mound of soil that had been next to Sadberry was used to fill the area where the district’s transportation building was demolished. Harlin and Beesaw pointed out the cost savings by recycling the soil instead of purchasing fill dirt for the demolition site. Beesaw says at the new Haliburton auxiliary complex, BISD’s warehouse and food service departments will join transportation and the district’s maintenance and operations departments by the end of the calendar year.
