Last Board Meeting Report, March 27 Courtesy of Guidry News: The Galveston Independent School District Board of Trustees on Wednesday voted unanimously to name Kimble Anders as the district's athletic director and head football coach. Anders is currently the director of athletics in the Kansas City Public School District, and played professional football for the Kansas City Chiefs from 1991-2000. He is also a Ball High School graduate. “I’m excited about coming home to Galveston and working with our student-athletes,” said Anders. “I look forward to putting back on the purple and gold as a leader this time, and teaching young men and women what I learned as a pro, which led to a lot of life lessons. I plan on having a program with high intensity and smart, sound football.” News Release The board voted unanimously to approve a capital project to renovate the Burnet Elementary School campus to conditions before Hurricane Ike and to amend a contract with PBK Architects to name the project's parameters as the renovation of the school.
