Bowie School Trustees learned Monday night Teresa Bates, assistant BHS principal for the past six years, has resigned effectively immediately. Superintendent Steven Monkres said Bates’ husband has been transferred to Atlanta, GA with his job.
The board discussed the position in executive session Monday night. Monkres said they are trying to come up with a plan to hire a new assistant, but they need someone in the interim.
A budget workshop for the 2014-15 school year was the primary focus for Monday’s board meeting. New Chief Financial Officer Jonathan Pastusek and retiring CFO Rhonda Russell made the presentation. Public hearings on the budget and tax rate are scheduled for Aug. 29.

The jury was seated on Monday and the opening day of testimony Tuesday only lasted four hours, before the panel went into deliberations about 2 p.m.
Two hours later the jury returned a guilty verdict on both charges. Wednesday morning the jury was set to begin discussion on Hall’s punishment at 8:30 a.m. with both sides offering evidence and testimony. Hall faces up to 10 years in prison.
The trial was moved to Denton County on a change of venue requested by Hall in March. After 16th District Judge Sherry Shipman read the verdict, it was reported Hall hung her head in disappointment and was later seen crying and emotional as she left the courtroom.
