Bowie Junior High earns level 1 certification with High Reliability Schools
By BARBARA GREEN
Bowie Junior High School is the first campus in the Bowie Independent School District to attain level one certification in the High Reliability Schools program completing more than a year and half of work.
Oct. 23 was an exciting day at the campus as an evaluator visited the campus, talked with staff and students and examined binders with more than 1,200 pages of documentations on the level one task.
Jeneanne Fleming, principal, said having an outside person look at what you have done and say it passes, validates the work.
“It’s nice to be first, although it is not a race, but there is some pride in reaching the goal and always good for the staff to feel proud. We have a sense of accomplishment that we followed through and got the certification. There are three levels available, so we can take time to reflect, then start on number two,” exclaimed Fleming.

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.
Members of the Bowie City Council will meet in regular session at 6 p.m. on May 13 in council chambers.
The meeting opens with a proclamation for Emergency Medical Services Week.
City Manager Bert Cunningham will report on recent rainfall problems, Smythe Street sidewalk project and the substation work.
There is only one item of new business an ordinance related to speed limits on specific streets. Public comments and approval of minutes wrap up the agenda.
