A Baytown Sun survey shows Goose Creek, Galveston ISD, Anahuac and other districts use or oppose job order contracting JOC for renovations and smaller projects. Galveston appeals a court ruling limiting JOC for a 36 million middle school rehab while districts cite time and cost savings and caution against broad use. Local leaders stress bidding remains the preferred method for large projects.
