Good morning, Bryan.

College Station ISD school board approved a 2026-27 budget on June 17 that uses $6 million from savings, lowers the property tax rate by one cent, and allocates $4.5 million for pay raises and new hires; it raises school lunch prices by 25 cents due to ending federal grant aid.

The Bryan ISD board approved a new method to buy mechanical equipment—using a cooperative process to quickly replace air conditioning chillers at six elementary schools with 2020 bond money.

The unanimous decision was made on June 15.
