Read moreDuring the Superintendent’s report at the Brownfield ISD Board of Trustees meeting held on Monday, Jan. 25, BISD Superintendent Chris Smith touched on the construction of the new Brownfield High school and mentioned the new school year will begin late. “Construction is going very well,” Smith said. “The academic part is almost enclosed now and they are going to start putting on the actual roof, which means they are starting to waterproof those areas so they can start the interior construction.” Smith said the construction is still going well, and on time and the board is still working on the plans for furnishing, technology, and everything else. Yet even with everything going well Smith stressed that the next school year will start late. “I said this before and I will say it every month, we are probably looking at starting school as late as we possibly can this year. Meaning probably the last week of August, maybe the first week of September,” he said. “In order to give us time to get everything done that needs to be done. We may be a late start, and we won’t get there yet. We will start hitting that in April or February around that window to start evaluating to make sure of our timestamp in terms of completion. But we will probably bring you a late start just to give us a few extra weeks to get some things done.” Smith is hoping that all parents are aware of the late start and will be prepared for it.
