Bowie School Board sets vote on District of Innovation plan
By BARBARA GREEN
Bowie School Trustees will vote on the proposed District of Innovation Plan in a called meeting at 5:30 p.m. on May 30.
The board met in regular session at 7 a.m. on Monday handling an agenda filled with updates and reports.
Superintendent Steven Monkres said the DIP Committee has finalized the draft plan and presented it in a public hearing on May 2. There was a unanimous vote by the committee and the District Improvement Teams for the plan.
Through a District of Innovation designation a district will be exempt from certain sections of the Texas Education Code that inhibit the goals of the district as outlined in its locally adopted innovation plan.
A local plan will remain in effect for a period of five years once adopted.

A BOIL WATER NOTICE remains in effect for the 800 block of Lively Street. Affected residents should use bottled or boiled water for drinking, cooking, or brushing teeth. If you are impacted by this notice and need bottled water, please call the City’s Emergency Management Coordinator at (940) 977-4941
The heat advisory that has been in place all week continues until 8 p.m. Friday night.
The National Weather Service reports strong high pressure overhead will bring triple digit high temperatures along with heat index readings approaching 110 degrees for much of next week. To reduce risk of heat related illnesses when outdoors, schedule frequent breaks in shaded or air conditioned areas, and stay hydrated.
Make sure to check on your older neighbors to make sure they are staying cool and hydrates, and make sure pets have shade and water.
