Brownwood Independent School District (BISD) announces the resignation of Board of Trustees member Amary Doremus. Ms. Doremus, who joined the board in 2021, is stepping down after years of dedicated service to the district.

During her tenure, Doremus played a key role in advancing Brownwood ISD’s mission of providing quality education and opportunities for all students. Her leadership in policy development, district initiatives, and student advocacy has made a lasting impact on the community.

“We appreciate Amary’s service and dedication to Brownwood ISD,” said Board President Michael Cloy. “Her commitment to our students, staff, and community has been invaluable, and we wish her the best in her future endeavors.”

Doremus’ term was set to end in November 2026. By law, the vacant seat must be filled within 180 days, requiring an appointment before a special election in November 2025.
