College Station ISD school board members will consider at their May meeting, adding ten minutes to the class day. The proposal that was made by administrators at the board’s April workshop meeting. Superintendent Tim Harkrider said the recommendation was made in part to allow students from Consolidated and College Station High Schools to take classes together at CSISD’s new career and technology education (CTE) center. Phase two of the complex is projected to be completed for the start of the 2026-2027 school year. Phase two includes space for ag mechanics, auto tech, construction, cosmetology, welding, a multipurpose arena, and offices. Ten additional minutes per day equals four additional days over the course of a school year. Harkrider’s proposal to turn those four days into teacher planning and work days will also be considered at the May board meeting. The superintendent also asked the board to consider in May, amending the calendar for the 2025-26 school year to add the ten minutes.
