Bryan ISD School Board Discusses But Does Not Take Action On The Superintendent’s Request For A New Demographer’s Study

Bryan ISD school board members discuss but do not take action on the superintendent’s request to conduct a new demographic study. At Monday’s board meeting (January 13), newly elected member David Stennis was the first to question what the district was getting for almost $57,000 dollars when there is data that is available to the public. Superintendent Ginger Carrabine said the latest demographer’s study showed Bryan ISD had enough facilities to accommodate students through the year 2031. Carrabine also said she wants the demographer’s information to plan for the impact of school vouchers and the possibility of proposed economic development projects bringing more families to the district. Board member Leo Gonzalez wanted to wait for the demographer to start its work until final decisions are made on proposed economic development projects inside the district and state lawmakers taking action on school vouchers. Board member Joel Bryan said was ready to proceed with the demographer’s study. The request will be considered again at the Bryan ISD board’s next meeting.
