Bastrop Independent School District ~ July 28, 2022
Groundbreaking Celebrations
On Wednesday, we held two groundbreaking ceremonies to celebrate the start of construction for two schools in BISD. We met first at the school site at FM 812 and Highway 21 at 11:00 am. Following that was the second ceremony to open the new school in The Colony off of FM 969 at 12:15 pm. We had quite a crowd at each location with district leaders, principals and teachers from campuses throughout BISD, families, the Bastrop Chamber of Commerce, Bastrop Education Foundation, our architecture partner Stantec, and our construction partner American Constructors.
Superintendent Barry Edwards, Board President Billy Moore, and the co-chairs of the Citizens Advisory Task Force Doc Washington and Josh Coy spoke to the crowd about the significance of the event and what it means for the future of Bastrop ISD.
We want to thank Mayor Connie Schroeder, Commissioner Mel Hamner, Chamber Ambassadors Harvey Giblin and Barbara Caldwell, We Believe in BISD members Sky Pinkston and Kim Sparks, Bastrop Education Foundation president Angela Coy, as well as many others who came to help us celebrate!
We also had reporters from FOX 7 and KXAN cover the event. You can catch those stories here:
