The first review by Bryan ISD school board members of forming the budget for the 2024-2025 school year includes the possibility of not filling or restructuring positions.
Board members and administrators said that’s because the governor is waiting for approval of his private voucher plan before releasing $4.5 billion dollars in state money.
Board member Ruthie Waller says as bad as it will be in Bryan ISD, it is not as bad as other public school districts facing campus closures due to the lack of state money.
Superintendent Ginger Carrabine said no layoffs are planned in Bryan ISD. But there is the possibility of not filling vacancies created by retirements and restructuring other positions.
Carrabine also says an outside consultant hired by the district has been meeting with campus administrators and will be meeting with board members later this month about next year’s budget.
