The Brownwood School Board of Trustees voted unanimously Monday night to extend the contract of School Superintendent Dr. Joe Young.

“We have given him a five year contract since his third year here,” said Michael Cloy, school board president.  “There were minimal changes, we did give him a salary increase.  We have the utmost confidence in Dr. Young.  We feel like he’s taken Brownwood ISD to some great advances and I think he’s going to continue to do so.  He’s a kind individual and a very caring man.  He really cares about teachers and he cares about the students tremendously.  We feel he will continue to lead us extremely effectively,” Cloy said.

The contract was extended through January 11, 2027.  Dr. Young came to Brownwood in January 2016.
