Casi cinco meses después del fallecimiento de la esposa del canciller del sistema de Texas A&M, John Sharp, tuvo lugar la inauguración del centro de aprendizaje infantil Charlotte Sharp.
El canciller fue uno de los oradores en la dedicación del centro que se construyó en la propiedad del sistema al norte de Century Square en la calle Hensel.
En el futuro, los niños interactuarán con los residentes de un complejo de viviendas para personas mayores que aún no se ha construido.
The College Station ISD school board decides to add ten minutes to the end of the school day starting this August. The six to one vote at Tuesday’s meeting (May 20) followed more than 35 minutes of comments about the timing of the decision and the potential impact on elementary school students. The reason for the additional time is to align the class periods at Consolidated and College Station High Schools in order for students from both campuses to take classes when phase two of CSISD’s career and technical education center opens in August of 2026. As for the impact on CSISD elementary campuses, the board majority said it will be up to administrators and teachers to decide what’s best for their students. The additional ten minutes per class day works out to four more days during the academic year. Superintendent Tim Harkrider said teachers will have those four additional days for planning and workdays. Harkrider also said teachers will continue to work on a 187 day contract.

Listen to “College Station ISD school board approves adding ten minutes to the end of the school day” on Spreaker. News release from College Station ISD: The College Station ISD Board of Trustees approved an amended academic calendar for the 2025-26 school year during its regular meeting on Tuesday, May 20. The updated calendar converts four regular instructional days to teacher workdays/student holidays: Aug. 29, 2025 Nov. 21, 2025 March 6, 2026 April 2, 2026 These days were originally regular school days in the approved 2025-26 calendar. The district is able to designate these days as teacher workdays/student holidays by adding 10 minutes to the end of each school day. The addition of 10 minutes per school day provides an extra 1,750 instructional minutes, or the equivalent of 3.97 days, bringing the total number of instructional minutes to 77,350, well above the TEA-required 75,600. The adjustment to the school day allows for A&M Consolidated High School and College Station High School to align bell schedules to maximize student access to the district’s Career and Technical Education Center. Updated school end times for the 2025-26 school year are as follows: Elementary School: 7:40 a.m. – 3:15 p.m. Intermediate School: 8:25 a.m. – 4 p.m. Middle School: 8:25 a.m. – 4 p.m. High School: 8:25 a.m. – 4 p.m.
Motorists driving in west Bryan Monday afternoon (May 19) may have noticed police activity in the area of Harvey Mitchell Parkway and West Villa Maria. An employee at a convenience store reported a shoplifter appeared to have a handgun in his waistband. Officers confirmed the shoplifter’s identity through photos the clerk took after she left the store. When the first officer on the scene drew his gun, the shoplifter ran towards the officer, ripped the gun from his waistband, dropped it on the ground, then he laid on the ground. After a second officer fired a bean bag sock at the shoplifter, it was discovered the gun was a butane lighter shaped like a revolver. The arrest report says 27 year old Christopher Vicente Estrada of Bryan, who took a bottle of beer, a package of chocolates, a can of Spam, and a bottle of butane, was arrested on a robbery charge. Estrada, who is in jail for the 16th time since July of 2015, remains held as of May 21st in lieu of a $10,000 dollar bond following his arrest on a robbery charge. Suspects are being sought from gunfire in Bryan Monday night (May 19) south of Santa Teresa Catholic Church. A BPD spokesman says one person was treated at a hospital for a gunshot wound. This is after officers responded to a fight on West 24th Street between residents and several individuals. The suspects left the scene before officers arrived. Bryan police take a report at headquarters from a parent of an elementary school student who was assaulted by another student. A BPD spokesman says this happened Monday morning (May 19) on the playground at Navarro elementary. The victim was taken by their parent for medical attention after being struck by the other student’s hand and feet.
Memorial Day weekend was the targeted completion of replacing and converting overhead electric lines at 22 locations around College Station. That was the timeline when the College Station city council at its April 24th meeting, awarded a contract not to exceed $373,405.88. The electric department’s assistant director, Glenn Gavit, was asked about moving those lines underground and the types of electric poles that are used. Gavitt said electric lines are moved underground as homes are being renovated. And the type of replacement electric poles are bases on individual circumstances.
