Board Training Grant

The Brownsville ISD Board of Trustees has embarked on training that is intended to serve as a model for school boards across Texas. The Meadows Foundation gave BISD a $75,000 grant for 13 days of training from the Center for Reform of School Systems (CRSS). BISD is the first school district in Texas to receive a Meadows Foundation grant for such training. CRSS is a non-profit consultancy that has trained leaders from more than 100 school districts to employ strategies, processes and tools to make significant improvements in their districts.
