Bowie Memorial Hospital Board approves ‘plan of action’
Bowie Memorial Hospital’s Board of Directors approved an action plan for a new BMH Authority, as well as steps the board would initiate if the hospital district election fails.
The board met Monday with an agenda that listed an executive session to discuss with its attorney legal matters related to a hospital authority. After an hour of deliberation, the board returned into open session.
There were two action items on the agenda: Approval of the action plan and information on the recently-completed lab survey. The hospital lab received an extension until October for its license as the results are completed.
On Sept. 14, the Montague County Commissioner’s Court will conduct a public hearing to consider calling a Nov. 4 election to create a hospital district that encompasses the Bowie and Gold-Burg Independent School Districts.
Hospital trustees have been working on this action plan for several months and it was the focus of a recent board retreat. The plan includes everything from present operations and improvements to action that could occur if a taxing district is approved by voters or fails. Read the full plan in the mid-week News.
Members of the Bowie Independent School District Board of Trustees will meet at 5:30 p.m. on June 16.
The big item on the agenda is the review of superintendent candidate applications and consider possible interview choice. Superintendent Blake Enlow resigned on May 23 and Assistant Superintendent Lee Ann Farris has been serving as the interim.
That item will be in executive session along with professional educator contracts that need to be considered.
On the regular agenda Farris will update the board on education bills passed by the 89th Texas Legislature and their budget impacts, as well as discipline impacts. A budget workshop will be considered. She also will provide information on state assessment and board goals.
Campus administrators and directors will provide updates, along with the finance director.
In action items the board will review Texas Association of School Board update 124, consider changes to the 12-month and 11 employee dates and consider the purchase of a new band trailer not to exceed $80,000.
Due to the June 19 Juneteenth federal holiday the U.S. Post Office will be closed, which moves then Thursday Bowie News to a delivery date on Friday. It will be available in the stores at its regular time.
