Brownfield BCISD board approves budget steps and staffing
Brownfield CISD Board of Trustees held a long meeting to discuss the proposed 1995-96 budget with changes including a four percent teacher and administrator pay rise and a six percent raise for other staff funded by increased mineral values. The board also awarded a two-year bank depository contract to American State Bank after considering bids from First National Bank. Substantial agenda items included resignations of three principals led by Tedna Taylor, continued use of Hank Holt Insurance for school and athletic policies, ITT Hartford for property insurance, and keeping lunch prices. The 1995-96 calendar was approved with Aug 16-23 in-service days and a Dec 21 holiday dismissal. Regular board actions followed in executive session leading to new staffing appointments.
