004if you could please come stand up here next to Superintendent Massie and then I'll have um a blurb that I'll read um as why to say why you were chosen as the mission first team always future ready educator. I have our elementary mission first team always educator Ann Tishler from Stephen F. Austin Elementary. Mrs. Tishler is an interventionist at Steven F. Austin Alustin Elementary, helping students close gaps in math and reading and providing dyslexia instruction. Miss Robert Miss Robertson stated, "Anne makes a huge impact at SFA. She has a positive attitude and is a great example of a team player. She wears many hats to support our campus and has been a great resource for new staff. She's been a positive and and supportive in helping the growth and change at SFA. Thank you. [Applause]

At this time, in accordance with VED Local, the board will provide
006audience with individuals who have signed up prior to the meeting to address the board. Tonight, we do not have any requests or comments from the board. So, we'll move on to the next item on our agenda. The next item on our agenda is our consent agenda. >> Are there any items requested to be pulled from the consent agenda from the board? >> Move for approval. Second. >> It's been moved by Scott and seconded by Miss Quayar uh to approve the consent agenda as presented. Do I hear them? All in favor signify by saying I. >> All oppose by name. All right, that carries. Next on our agenda are our action items. Public comments will be allowed before a vote is taken on each action item. Our first action item is the security and fencing bid
007award. Mr. Monty Burger to enlighten us. Good evening. In accordance with board policy CH legal, it's my pleasure to present the security and fencing bid award recommendation. Administrative considerations. On August 16th of 2025, the district issued a request for proposal for fitting supplies and installation to address several important needs across our campuses and facilities. Proposals were due on September 4th, 2025. The district received multiple inquiries, but only two formal proposals from Superior Fence Services and Absolute Fence Services were received. Mult a multiple award will provide the district with greater overall selection of fencing supplies and installation services and represents the best value to the district safe grant uh completed projects under our previous RFP. So under the direction of Mr. Tai Morrow, Ravensport ISD pursued and was awarded over $15.5 million under the TEA cycle
0081 SAFE grant. Thus far, we have utilized over $1 million of this aotment to improve the security of all of our Brazport ISD campuses with fencing additions, renovations, and improvements. The previous RFP fencing award allowed us to get this work done in a timely and efficient manner, but it's recently expired. To ensure that we can continue to address fencing needs in a timely manner, Brazesport ISD will recommend a multiple bid award later tonight. But first, I would like to highlight the work that has been completed so far and some projects that are yet to be completed. So, we'll start with Pulk Elementary. So, the completed work, you can see some new egress gates. Uh those are going to be in green. This is those are completed on there. And you'll see some MO gates as
009well in green. And then the fencing in red. So, all of this work's already been done. Moving to Best Brandon, you'll see uh again egress gates uh indicated in green on the map, mo gates as well. And you'll see a little bit of new fencing in red kind of in the upper right hand corner there. And I'm I've got a lot of these so I'm going to move. If y'all have a question, just please stop me. OM Roberts, the completed work. We've got new egress gates and new mogates shown in green on the map. You see a little bit of new fencing shown in red kind of center up high on the the site map there. And then the yellow is actually new fabric. Uh and when it's when it says fabric, that means just
010the metal, you know, not fabric as in windscreen or anything like that. Just it had we had to replace that because it was not quite what it needs to be. AP Boles Elementary, we've got new egress gates, new MO gates, and new fencing shown in red. Moving to LLC and Laneir, we've got new egress gates and MO gates shown in green and new fencing shown in red. See a little tiny area right there behind uh the new LLC, Old Velasco. And then you'll see kind of across the drive over there on Laneir Moving to Freeport Elementary School, new egress gates and mogates shown in green. And then you'll see a little bit of new fencing shown in red. Moving to CL Intermediate School, we've got egress gates and mogates again shown in green and a
011little bit of fencing shown in red. Stephen of Austin Elementary. Uh, egress gates, mogate, all in green, highlighted in green. And then you can see the fencing areas that were replaced there. Mad Griffith. We've got egress gate, mo gate, once again highlighted in bright lime green, and the new fencing in red. And you can see we've added some new gates over here uh for the backdrop at Bradatherswood High School. And so that completes the work that has been completed. Uh these next slides will have proposed projects. There will also be some completed work listed. I just didn't want to double list all of these slides. So, moving to this Riseswood High School, the completed work, you'll see an egress gate shown in green and a little new fencing fabric shown in yellow kind of in
012the upper right corner. And then if you look uh the proposed work that we have not completed, but we would uh move forward with the bid award or would allow us with the new bid award to move forward rather easily. Uh you can see where we'd like to fence in the outdoor dining area at Bradenswood. It's kind of there's a little bit of shadow, but hopefully you guys can see that fencing over there. Moving to Lake Jackson Intermediate. Uh you can see some old completed work with the egress gate shown in green, fencing shown in red. A little bit of windcreen was replaced uh over there across the track by the football field. And the proposed work is the is actually replacing and repairing uh the gate kind of down in the lower left corner.
013So that those that work has not been done indicated in blue. TWW AG the completed work we've got fence repair from barrel. That's kind of the little zigzag lightning looking red indicators. Had a lot of damage to that fence. That work has been complete. We've got egress gates shown in green and a little bit of new fencing shown in red. The proposed work for TWW AG elementary, we've got fencing and egress gates uh between the building and the stacking lane and you can see that in blue. Moving to Freeport Intermediate, the completed work, we've got fencing around the tennis court shown in red, fencing around the right side of the back drive, and the egress egress gate shown in green. The proposed work for this site would be the fencing along the left side of
014the back drive shown in blue and then also some gates in that same area that this would protect the perimeter of the new weight room and that's indicated by the little yellow box. This would be where the new weight room would be situated. And then last but not least, moving to Braz High School, the completed work, uh, we've got multiple egress gates and new mogates shown in green. And then the proposed work, we've got egress gates along the levy and fencing around the student parking lot shown in blue. Uh a side note, we are still waiting for feedback as to whether this particular project would be allowed under the grant, the safe grant parameters. And our recommendation, it is recommended that the board of trustees approve multiple contract awards to Absolute Fence Services and Superior
015Fence Services for the period of one calendar year to purchase fencing supplies and installation services as needed. I'll be happy to answer any questions. Any >> questions from the board? >> The two companies have separate expertise. They both would offer the the same uh services. The because this RFP is not for a particular project. It's just listing out components and linear fever rates and and things for gates and different items involved in the fence construction. Whether it's going into concrete or asphalt or just into the soil, you've got different price points. But I think as far as line items, there's got to be hundreds and hundreds of line items. If you I've got both of the RFPs, I can pass them around if you guys want to just kind of proof through the price comparison.
016Um, but it it's really kind of just a scenario where it gives us some flexibility that we could use either contractor. I will say that one of them is relatively new and so while some of their pricing looks attractive on certain thing on some of it they're higher but while some of their pricing looks kind of attractive on certain things we're not sure how well they've thought all that out and we've got a lot of experience with one of those contractors. So we just accepted both and and there again we can get quotes from both. We can cut our teeth a little bit on on one with a smaller project and see if they've kind of got it figured out like they think they do. But it just gives us more flexibility and allows us
017to be a little more nimble and efficient. >> Jill, this is our third RFP that's had multiple vendors because there's 3,000 items on the RFC. Um I had a question, Monty, on uh several campuses where we're uh Freeport Intermediate that back road. Um these um lener we have the side road. What kind of gates are we going to put there that uh and and not even worry about resport parking until we know what we can and will do. >> But how will those gates operate? >> They're sliding gates uh with operators. >> Good >> motor control. >> Good deal. And I would assume any any fencing around the new pool that was part of the original >> if Yes, sir. I we did look at modifying that a little bit and see if we could
018use the grant and that's another one we're not quite sure yet if we can um >> but we we and just because the grant doesn't cover doesn't mean it can't be done. It just means that we wouldn't be able to use that particular grant to cover. >> Well, there was already something at that processing. The only upgrade is we're adding slats to the fencing uh for privacy, visibility, and security. It's not scalable. And then we change the tops of the fence to be twist tops instead of fold over. So somebody climbing the fence, they are a little bit more deterred. Any other questions from the audience before we move forward? All right. Uh, >> it has been moved by general accept the recommendation as presented and seconded by Mr. Dunn. All those in favor signify
019by saying I. I. >> All close by name. >> All right, that carries. Thank you very much. Thank you. >> Mr. Marorrow, thank you for uh all your work you do with the grants. That's a lot. >> Next item that we have on our agenda are our reports. Public comments will be allowed on each report. Our first report is by Miss Jennifer Farmer. The Brazesport ISD K12 teacher registered apprenticeship program update. >> Uh good evening, Superintendent Matthew, President Howard, and distinguished school board members. My name is Jennifer Farmer and I'm excited to speak with you today. In alignment with board policy DC local and board goal 5, BISD will recruit, develop, and retain highly effective staff. It is my pleasure to provide a program update for the Brazen Court ISD K through2 teacher registered apprenticeship
020program. The apprenticeship program was developed as an innovative solution to addressing the growing teacher shortage. Our program goals are our mission is to develop apprentices who are future ready equipped to make a meaningful impact in the lives of students. We offer aspiring teachers, including pair professionals, career changers and high school or college students, the opportunity to gain hands on classroom experience and meaningful employment while completing their pathway to teacher certification. The BISD registered apprenticeship program provides multiple entry points with intentional scaffolded support to guide individuals into the teaching profession. These on-ramps are designed to meet candidates where they are in their professional journey, ensuring each apprentice receives the tools, mentorship, and experiences needed to thrive as an educator. our Brazport ISD apprenticeship program. We have both partners and sponsors. Our first is Brazport College, Grand
021Canyon University, Reach University, Steven F. Austin University, >> a Western Governor's University, 240 certification, other ACPs like Teach Worthy, I teach and ECAP. We are have a sponsor with Edwell, the department of labor and enrich pathways. Here is a list of the current apprentices, colleges and universities andor ACP programs. We have 18 at Brazport College, 13 at Grand Canyon University, 16 at Reach University, two at SFA, nine at WGU, one at Sam Houston, 12 at 240 certification, and then we have three at other ACPs. >> That was Mason's turn to do that. >> Oh, it was his turn to do that. Other ACPs including ECAP are offer teacher certification in other areas like health sciences. And so that's why some of our apprentices are with others other than 240. We have 65 total active apprentices
022in our on-ramp 1 through 4 apprentice program this school year. On ramp one has 14 apprentices and they should exit the program spring of 2029. On ramp 2, we also have 14 apprentices and they will exit the program spring 2028. On-ramp 3 has nine apprentices and will exit the program in 2027. But it is not uncommon for apprentices to actually skip an on-ramp based on the uh way in which they're pulling their college coursework through the different universities. And so looking at on-ramp 4, 28 apprentices will exit the program spring of 2026. So we're very excited about that. And three of those include clinical teachers. So each uh semester I go to recruiting and pick up uh student teachers that are interested in coming back or being a part of BIC. Here are some apprentice
023program highlights. There have been 124 apprentices served with the BIC apprenticeship program that are have already finished and completed or are a part of the program. Now 45% of our current apprentices are working in high needs areas. The high needs considered are special education, ESL, secondary math, secondary science, and secondary ELA. In the last three years, our apprenticeship program has produced 58 teachers of record that are now serving in the classroom for this 2025 2026 school year. We have nine CTE pathway students are currently BIC apprentices and 43 BIC graduates are current BIC apprentices out of the 65. 15 from Brazesport, one with a GED, 27 from Brazes Wood, one from BSA, 11 more apprentices graduated from Brazoria County Schools just in our area. And 37 out of the 65 current apprentices were district pair
024of professionals or staff members prior to becoming a part of the apprenticeship. Our next steps for the program this year are training and coaching. Of course, we do lots of that like every day. Uh we are going to move into cohort five recruiting, our annual reporting, the 2026 completer placements, which we're excited to see that happen. And then we will pick up cohort five for their launch. So, let's talk mission first. To recruit, develop, and retain highly effective staff that directly impact student success and close the teacher shortage gap. That's our number one goal. We must ensure that apprentices are aligned with clear, attainable pathways to successfully earn their teaching certification. And so we really looked at their on-ramps and this year we created BIC K through2 apprenticeship timelines for each pathway. So apprentices now
025know exactly what it will take for them to successfully obtain their teaching credential. This is just an example of the timeline for Brazport College and 240 certification. So, if I were to go to Brazport College and I would finish out through 240 certification, I would know this is what I'm going to do. This is the hours that I need to obtain. This is the GPA that I need to uh keep and this is uh the actual competency trainings that I will do throughout the years. And then at the end, the goal is that they are fully certified teachers and there was no question. and they knew exactly their path and what it would take to get there. So the next is team always. It is inspiring to see our apprentices fully integrated into the campus
026culture and daily lives of our school. I like literally almost every day pull pictures from Facebook of apprentices that are like in pictures of campuses. This was at convocation. Like I'm just very proud of them. And then we have also introduced apprentice campus advisors at each campus. The goal is for the campus advisor to welcome apprentices to the campus to teach them um the ropes of the campus procedures like how each campus um runs per se. They check in on them periodically. They're able to answer questions and give advice. We want them to be their biggest cheerleader and make sure they are a part of the campus family. So during program launch this year, all new apprentices participated in a guided tour of the district's campuses. They were welcomed by administrative staff and campus advisors
027and provided with valuable information as such as parking procedures, campus arrival times, and other essential details. And you can see Kristen Delin is one of our success coaches and then Rachel Arthur drove us. She was our bus driver. So to port to support consistency and connection, we send a weekly reminder flyer to all apprentices. These additions include a word of the week, inspirational quotes, a apprentice shoutout, so we give them shoutouts when they've done great things. It's technology tips and key reminders to just help keep them on top of things. We know that clear and consistent communication remains essential to their actual success. And the next is future ready. Each of our apprentices brings a unique background and pathway into the program. Colin Deal, our very first picture, is a clinical teacher from Sam Houston
028State University. Angela Nunes in the middle is a career changer. and Catalina Cisneros is a Brazeport High School CTE education pathway graduate. Our program has a pathway to teacher certification for each of them. We are uh we prepared apprentices we prepare apprentices through seven targeted competency trainings offered throughout the year. By the end of the program, apprentices will have engaged in 28 on the job trainings and assignments where we give them uh feedback uh to help support them. And this is designed to provide valuable practice and realworld learning. In addition, during district professional development days, we are collaborating with Brazesport College to expand opportunities for apprentice learning and professional growth. To ensure we are future ready, the Brazescore ISD registered apprentice program application flyer is now available. So, please share it with all your friends.
029Prospective applicants are encouraged to ensure that they meet at least one of the eligible requirements prior to applying when the application opens March 2026. We are thrilled about the Brazesport ISD K through2 teacher registered apprenticeship program. Teaching is a calling that requires true grit, dedication, and unwavering passion for learning. I am incredibly proud to be a part of this journey and as we work to build and strengthen our teacher pipeline here at Brazesport ISD. I would love to answer any questions that you may have and thank you for the opportunity to provide this update today. >> Any questions from the board? >> I don't have any questions. you know, statistically having been in the classroom. Um, new teachers didn't have this opportunity. >> Agreed. >> It's a blessing and it helps them. Uh, helps the
030campus, it helps them. So, thank you very much. And stay with HB cookies. >> HB all the way. I got it. >> Mr. Do 100% of the people in the program, they're they're on our campuses every day. >> Every day. So they work within pair professional positions and say you're at on ramp one, you may be working in a prek classroom learning and growing from a teacher within that time, but you may also go do lunch duty and then you're seeing what they're doing in the hallway and you're going to recess. Or maybe you're an ESL aid at the high school level and you're moving into classrooms every day. So, not only are you practicing work with students, you are also getting the opportunity to see like eight >> teachers teach and then how do
031I interact with them? How do I work to build them? And then when we're doing our trainings, it gives them an opportunity. Say we're talking about anchor charts and we're like, "Hey, um, I want you to be looking for every anchor chart that directly connects to building like growth mindset >> and that's all I want you to look for this week." And so it's another opportunity, but yes, the answer is yes, they are there every day. That may be the best part of the entire program is that instead of four years in a school and then showing up onto a campus and hoping like hell you like it, you get >> you get real world experience while while doing plus they get paid is if if a if a high school >> graduate across the
032street here in May, can they go directly into this program? >> Yes. Yes, we have put in nine total. uh five last the year last last year I guess I would say and then there are um four more this year and I will say that when they are young they may not be completely sure or just sure of themselves and so we're very careful with how do we build and grow them but yes so I think about my own personal children um went off to college not really sure what they were doing yet um but this is an opportunity to grow right here in where you're where you're homegrown, right? And there's nothing better than that. >> How long do they have to stay in the program before they have to commit? I know there's
033like a two or three year commitment. >> Three years. So after they become they have their teacher certification, we want them to stay with us for three years, but our goal is to keep them for life, right? That they just fall into a place where they love it so much. And because most of them are homegrown, it's a place they want to be. So I know that a lot of districts have trouble in the fact that uh they'll get people like last minute from like Houston or we used to get them from Dallas and they have to drive so far that the minute a job opening closed, there's not a connection, right? And so you having that instant connection is everything. >> That's good. they have a few years to at least make a formal
034commitment to us I guess because they could like in your first example this is something they want to test or >> it's a good way for us to >> yeah it's a great great program >> well you know you think back to your especially if you're old you think back to your education classes in college none of this this was not even any hardly ever mentioned you know classroom management anything like that so um having hands-on experience from the getgoes back to what Scott was talking about. How long have you been the first year folks stay? >> You know, you just wipe so many noses and then you get all kind of issues. You may not want to stay. >> Yes. >> But they have the opportunity to see before they give up. >> I
035agree with that. And you know, a lot of times we were seeing um I was originally from Forsakana. You would see people go into alternative certification programs and they would start to falter very quickly, right? Because they hadn't had that background. They didn't have the ability to be in a classroom. They they went got a bachelor's degree, went to work somewhere, and then went, "Oh, I think I'm going to be a teacher." And not realizing what it truly takes to get there. And so we found ourselves throwing them life rafts to help save them when this program teaches them before. So it's like you teach them to swim instead of having to throw them a life raft. And so I I believe wholeheartedly uh about this program. >> Is there a um I know now
036kids in high school because choose business and medical and all these different pathways, but is I know there's a teacher one also, but are they able to take certifying classes that help with this process while they're in high school. >> No. So, to be a certified teacher, you have to have a four-year bachelor's degree and then not until after you take the test do you certify in that area. >> But, but they can be taking credit, >> dual credit stuff that will qualify towards >> Absolutely. Absolutely. And that's the direction we would like to head to where when they walk in as a freshman, they know what they're taking because we could essentially >> change the trajectory from a four-year to a three-year possible program. >> And you could be 18 and three years later
037have, you know, at 21 have your teaching certificate. >> Yeah. >> That's crazy. >> Yeah. Yeah. No, it's a that's a it's a great opportunity. >> I um I would like to see us the number of teachers number of kids that go to college and get degrees in education that start teaching and switch in three years because it's nothing like college. I would like to see us be able to keep the data to see these people that spend four years knowing what they're getting into, how much easier it is to retain them than um the average teacher track. >> That is something that is uh we are working on uh data through each year. So each year that I'm able to track the data where they are at, we are looking into how do we
038show you that in five years? What does that look like? because we will never get better at this program if we don't really track how it's how it's actually working. >> Well, I think >> I would love that. >> It's easier for us because they're committed to three years already. >> Yes. Yes. >> And um the average kid that we hire from Stephen F. Austin uh has no commitment of three has an axe but no commitment. >> I went there for a long time. Oh, >> I like it, too. >> I love the program. I mean, >> yes, >> I'm thrilled. Uh I'm curious our other district uh contacting y'all to figure out what we're doing. >> Yes. Yes. We get a lot of contact from other district. >> Anything with >> Yeah. We just
039We're like, >> we don't offer that. >> No, I mean I I think you know right when we started or right before we started, we did other other things within the state but I can't see anything better than so I think we are presenting everywhere you know if we have something great I feel like we should we should be sure when they call you to present >> be sure you make it worth your while >> don't tell them you're not coming for Chick-fil-A >> I'm gonna ask for fins Yeah. >> Yeah. I would like to add that uh Mr. Atinson couldn't be here today. Uh ask that on his behalf that we would publicly acknowledge both Jennifer Neighbors and Jennifer Farmer for their help and expertise during his interview with the Texas Tech education professor
040a couple weeks ago concerning teacher retention and recruitment. He said that they provided great information for our district during the interview interview. And he want also wanted to point out that Texas Tech Education Department is very aware of the BIC apprenticeship program which was nice to hear. >> Thank you for that. >> Anything else? >> Anything from the audience? >> All right. Thank you, Mate. >> Thank you. Thanks for having me. Next thing that we have on our report uh facilities update about Mr. Taylor segue when segue thank you Mr. Good evening. The following is in accordance with board policies. CB local. It is my pleasure to present the planning and construction update for the 2019 bond program. So we are at total POS issue just over 271 million or 91.2% completed or in progress
041starting with breast pool replacement. This project has gone very very well. We're looking at 2 and 1/2 months above or ahead of schedule. Um the biggest remaining scope of work that you can see in this photo uh is the plaster that's going to be installed Thursday and Friday of this week. And then we're pretty much down to punch list. So I anticipate moving in and fully using the pool midocctober which I'm very proud of. We had some weather issues, but contractor just kept going. So, we've got scoreboard, diving boards in this photo, and then another one on the opposite end of the pool deck. Here's the equipment building. This is the side that has the two individual restrooms facing the fieldhouse. This is the equipment room. You've got the pool filters on the left, that
042big blue cylinder, and then the two boilers on the right. And then these same few renderings that you guys have seen in the past for the support service project. We're hoping to start the metal panel replacement, all the exterior in the next couple weeks. And then the roofs will be uh just after that. We should be wrapped up by I'd say, excuse me, I had this in my head. Mid mid November, early November. And then this image here is just the first look at the interior floor plan for the transportation building, office building that will replace their current trailer. They've got some upgrades in there that they currently don't have like an additional restroom, conference room, storage rooms, uh individual vestigules for entry for the drivers to talk with dispatch and clock in and all
043those good things. And then at the Rasco stacking lanes or at Rasco um we had some pretty significant cost savings and before and after this project it was requested that we add on to the canopy. So luckily we have enough money to do so. It's 100 linear foot addition and it will extend to the other door uh that they use for pickup and drop off um getting the students in and out of the building. So that's something exciting coming up. Hopefully we'll get it done over Christmas break and then we can close out that project on to the Lake Jackson Intermediate gym floor replacement from the water damage that we had. Um, currently all of the finished wood planks, the finished surface wood planks have been nailed down with the exception of under the bleachers
044and they I'm sorry, they have moved the bleachers and they're installing they're starting to install the subfloor tomorrow and then they'll nail those planks down, add the base coat and the top coat, move the bleachers back and then base coat and all the core striping and then top coat. We're still looking at mid October to complete that project. It's gone pretty well though. >> Did they find where the leak was coming from? >> It's a combination of assumptions. Uh if it came from under the slab, that will not happen again because we put a moisture barrier. It's an epoxy coating across the whole floor. Uh but we had a significant leak from someone leaving a hose bib on in the athletic laundry room. And then we had say or a bin drained from an ice
045machine that wasn't going into the drain and it appears to have been going under the wall into the and then under the gym floor. None of none of this was discovered when we realized the issue of the floor, but once we kind of started thinking back, there were a couple instances that popped up that could have somewhat been related. >> Yeah. So, we're capping off that hose bib because it was added just for convenience. It's not necessary. And then we fixed the bin drain for that ice machine. >> We didn't want to go back with the 1990s rubber floors. >> Thought about it. Uh, and then we're also going to add a concrete curb inside the perimeter of the laundry room in case the washer drain ever backs up, it will go into the corridor
046instead of underneath the gym floor. >> Definitely don't want to go through this again. >> Yeah. >> And then Monty showed the same slide about the Freeport intermediate weight room. We should be starting that process for procurement in the next couple weeks. Um, I plan to have it completed by the end of December, early or early January. It's a 30 by 40 weight room with rollup door and a single swing door and then sports line. And then it'll be filled with whatever weight equipment Mr. Zeller decides to put in there. Should go pretty quick though. And that is all I have. Any questions? >> Any questions from the board? from the audience. >> All right.
