Brenham High School students tape Principal Michael Watts to wall after crushing food drive goal

BRENHAM — Brenham High School students turned a charity challenge with their principal into thousands of meals for local families this holiday season. The drive was organized as part of Washington County’s annual food collection in partnership with KBTX. Every year, the Brenham Independent School District challenges its campuses to come up with creative ways to incentivize students to donate canned goods and other nonperishable items. For the past few years, Brenham High School ran a competition between classes to see which grade could collect the most food. This year, student organizers wanted to raise the bar.

Voters say 'no' to CFISD school tax rate hike for improvements

Voters in Cy-Fair ISD were asked to decide whether to increase the school tax rate, and so far, most rejected all five ballot propositions. If passed, homeowners would have seen a nine-cent property tax increase. Cypress-Fair ISD also sent bond approvals to vote. Proposition B, the $1.3 billion bond, would have paid for school improvements and safety. Props C through E would have funded everything from technology to stadium improvements. “We are grateful to everyone in the CFISD community who participated in this election, took time to learn about the propositions, asked questions and shared their perspectives,” Dr. Doug Killian, CFISD superintendent of schools, said. “We accept our voters’ decisions. Our next step is to listen carefully, reassess our options and keep our community involved as we determine a path forward.”
