Published April 10 2024
The Brownsville Independent School District (BISD) is set to undergo significant changes as the school board has officially approved a plan to consolidate several schools. The decision came after a 5-2 vote in favor of the merger, which aims to address a $20 million budget deficit faced by the district.
