The Bryan ISD board of trustees is set to review several operational and long-term planning items at the board’s March 23 meeting, including a potential contract for substitute staffing services and design work tied to the district’s 2025 bond.
What you need to know
According to the meeting agenda, trustees will consider:
- Substitute staffing services: The board will discuss authorizing the superintendent to negotiate a contract with ESS South Central LLC to provide substitute teachers for the 2026-27 school year.
- Bond project design contracts: Trustees will consider agreements with VLK Architects for renovations at Bryan and Rudder high schools, as well as with PBK for the rebuild of Bryan Collegiate High School. These projects are part of the district’s $397 million 2025 bond.
- Nursing training partnership: The board will vote on next steps on entering an agreement with Allegany College of Maryland to allow students in nursing and health programs to complete clinical training placements through the district.
The substitute staffing contract comes as districts continue to address staffing shortages and classroom coverage needs, while the bond-related design contracts represent early steps in major campus upgrades approved by voters in the general election in November 2025.
