Two students and two staff members in the Bowie Independent School District have tested positive for COVID-19 the first multiple cases for the new school year.
There were a few cases in the weeks leading up to the start of the year, but these are the first positive case since school opened reported Superintendent Blake Enlow.
The district sent notification letters via e-mail to parents and staff of the high school on Wednesday and Thursday. The Sept. 16 letter noted one student and one staff member, while the Sept. 17 letter was for one student all three at the high school
“Based on the information that we have gathered, it has been determined that the end of the 14-day incubation period for anyone possibly exposed on campus to the employee or student is Sept. 29,” stated the letter.
Another letter came on Friday stating a staff member who works at the intermediate and junior high tested positive. That isolation period will end Sept. 30.

A public hearing has been scheduled for 9:45 a.m. on May 28 for the Montague County Commissioner’s Court to present the updated subdivision regulations that have been in the works for several months.
That date was set during Monday’s court session, where a development officer also was named and a state-required notice was approved. The 89-page draft of the subdivision regulations are available on the county website co.montague.tx.us/page/montague.home.
It was August 2019 when the regulations were adopted by the commissioners after much debate among water well drillers, groundwater district staff and directors, realtors and land developers.

Charley Lanier, who has been working as a grant officer for the county, was named to be the subdivision development officer. After a brief 10-minute executive session, the court named Lanier who they said would be the “initial contact” for all developers who will accept all paperwork and plats.
