A local family made a generous donation to Bryan ISD in an effort to make students even safer at our campuses.
The Donald and Donna Adam Family Foundation made a $1 million donation at the Tuesday, January 17 Bryan ISD Board of Trustees meeting. The school board accepted their donation at that meeting.
The foundation also made a $1 million donation to College Station ISD at their meeting that same night.
"In the wake of the tragedy at Robb Elementary in Uvalde last year, our family felt called to do
something to help protect the most precious possession in our lives – our children – from any
harm," said Mrs. Adam, in a press release sent to Bryan ISD.
The donation will assist the school district with enhancing safety and security efforts.
"Many in our community are experiencing or anticipating difficult financial times," said Mr.
Adam. "We hope that, in addition to helping protect our students, these donations will help
lessen the potential financial hardship for our entire community, who would otherwise be covering expenses of upgraded security for the school districts through increased taxes," he said.
This year their foundation will consult with both school districts on any unmet security needs. The foundation will donate up to an additional $1.5 million to each district, bringing the total amount donated to a possible $5 million.
The foundation was established by American Momentum Bank Chairman and CEO Donald Adam and his wife.
