After the recent departure of Place 7 Brownwood school board member Tim Jacobs, the school board has elected to fill the vacant seat.  Jacobs served BISD from 2009 to 2021.

“Place 7 is actually up for election this November so the board has some options.  We could choose to go with that seat empty until that time.  I don’t think that’s a good idea, neither does the rest of the board.  The other option is that we could appoint someone to fill the position which is what we traditionally have done when a board member has either moved or resigned their place,” said Michael Cloy, School Board President.

Place 7 covers the southern and southeastern part of the City of Brownwood.  A map of the school district places can be found by clicking HERE.

If you are interested in serving in Place 7, you can go to the school administration office at 2707 Southside Drive or you can e-mail school officials.

“You can e-mail me at [email protected] or you can e-mail Dr. Young at [email protected], indicating your interest in this position.  The deadline for that will be January 28.  We plan to invite those who are interested to our next board meeting which will be February 7th.  We will have discussions with them in Executive Session and at the end of that time we plan to appoint someone that night, likely at the end of Executive Session,” Cloy concluded.
