The College Station Independent School District (CSISD) Board held a regular meeting on December 17, 2024, where several key issues were discussed, including financial reports and emergency repairs at Pebble Creek Elementary School.

The meeting began with a presentation of the annual financial and compliance report for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2024. The finance team received commendations for their hard work in preparing the report, which was approved unanimously by the board. The report highlighted the district's strong financial management, despite upcoming changes to the fiscal year that will require adjustments in reporting.

A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to addressing an emergency situation at Pebble Creek Elementary, where a fire suppression line rupture necessitated immediate repairs. The board approved a resolution allowing the superintendent to expedite budgeted purchases to ensure timely repairs. This resolution was supported by Texas education codes that permit such actions in emergencies. The board also ratified emergency purchases made for repairs, including a contract with Summit Fire Security for $89,776 and another with Cotton Restoration for up to $250,000.

Additionally, the board discussed renovations for baseball and softball fields at A&M Consolidated High School and College Station High School. Ducote Construction was awarded the contract for these renovations, totaling $8,382,911, funded by the district's bond funds. The project aims to enhance the athletic facilities, including the installation of artificial turf and upgrades to batting cages.

The meeting concluded with a reminder of the upcoming holiday break for staff, acknowledging their hard work throughout the semester. The board's decisions reflect a commitment to maintaining safe and effective learning environments for students while managing district finances responsibly.
