Less than a year since Bryan ISD voters approved a $175 million dollar bond issue, a few projects have been completed and a few more are underway.

BISD school board members learned Monday that the recently completed SFA annex renovation cost $1,966,192 dollars less than expected.

BISD facilities director Paul Buckner says replacing roofs at Jones and Crockett elementary schools has taken more time and an additional $848,277 dollars.

Buckner also reported it cost an additional $598,068 to improve public address systems around BISD.

The board was reminded the construction contract for BISD's third intermediate school is $182,140 dollars under budget.

Members also learned replacing the fence around Merrill Green stadium was $28,500 under budget, BISD's career and technology center getting connected to city sewer was $26,750 under budget, and replacing an rooftop air handling unit at the Bryan High fieldhouse was $65,000 under budget.
