Superintendent's Communication Council Questions and Answers

Dr. Darrell Brown, Birdville ISD superintendent, has established several new communications councils this year. One of the groups is the Superintendent's Communications Council (SCC). The SCC consists of principal appointed staff members which represent each campus.

Dr. Brown asked each member to use this meeting as a conduit to bring staff questions directly to the superintendent and Cabinet. Below are questions and answers from the December 12 meeting.
