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.

College Station Police Arrest A Mother And Boyfriend For Injuring The Mother’s Child

College Station police arrest a mother and her boyfriend on felony charges of injuring the mother’s child. This is after a custodian at a College Station ISD elementary school reports seeing a student with bruises and numerous other markings. That led to an investigation by school administrators, child and protective services, and three CSPD detectives. The mother told a detective according to the CSPD arrest report that she was laughing while saying the child “gets whooping’s with the belt”. The arrest reports say the child was struck by a stun gun, a leather belt, an extension cord, and wooden yard sticks. Those items were found during a search of the family’s apartment. The child had injuries and scars on their legs, back, stomach, and buttocks. The arrest reports do not say who has custody of the student. The mother, 36 year old Chantel Turner, and her boyfriend, 31 year old Andrea Bell, remain in jail as of October 14 in lieu of bonds of $75,000 dollars each.
