The October regular meeting of the College Station ISD school board included public comments from the president of the band boosters at College Station High School.

Betsy Pickett said they were not notified of budget cuts by the district until after they set their booster budget and student fees.

Pickett also said administrators reversed a decision made October second that would have drastically reduced the amount of money to feed band students at Consolidated and College Station High School going to state competition.

Due to state law, CSISD board members are not allowed to respond to speakers during the public comment period.

WTAW News e-mailed an invitation to CSISD’s communications director to respond to Pickett’s comments.
