Bryan ISD School Board Members Discuss Results Of An Annual State Financial Report
For the 22nd consecutive year, Bryan ISD receives the highest financial rating from the Texas Education Agency (TEA).

Click HERE to read and download presentation materials from the December 2, 2024 Bryan ISD school board meeting. Reacting to no one appearing at the public hearing, which was held during the noon hour on the Monday following Thanksgiving, board member Leo Gonzalez said “it is amazing how much I get asked about this…and they ask so many questions and yet when we have somebody here that could answer them we don’t have anyone show up to ask the questions. It’s a little frustrating.” Board president David Stasny asked about the percentage BISD spends on administrators, which he says is a question he is asked. Assistant superintendent Kevin Beesaw confirmed BISD spends 7.5% percent on administration, which is low enough to receive the state’s maximum score in that area. Beesaw said the report is based on 21 financial indicators. Click HERE to be directed to Bryan ISD’s Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas report.
