History and Background
| Brush Country Co-op was founded three decades ago. The initial meeting
of the board of managers was held on July 23, 1974 in the Mathis ISD Board Room.
The original co-op member districts included Pawnee, Pettus, Three Rivers,
George West to the north, Mathis, Odem, Sinton, Skidmore, Taft in the central
area of the co-op, and Agua Dulce, Banquete, Orange Grove to the south.
(Sinton, Taft and Odem have since formed the San Patricio Special Education
Co-op.) |
| The superintendents of the participating school districts act as the
board members, and Mathis ISD acts as the fiscal agent for the co-op. The
board meets on the third Wednesday of each month in the Mathis ISD Central
Office Board Room. |
| Here are some Brush Country staff members have been with the co-op from the
beginning but recently retired. Wanda Morrow, Pawnee diagnostician; Sibbie Burroughs,
Agua Dulce diagnostician; and Ethel Murphy, Director Brush Country Co-op. We applaud their
loyalty!!! |
