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 regular meeting of the Bowie City Council for July 22 has been cancelled. City Manager Bert Cunningham and Mayor Gaylynn Burris will be attending the Texas Public Power Association conference.
City of Bowie officials were on hand to inspect the emergency electrical generators that were delivered last week.
Mayor Gaylynn Burris and City Manager Bert Cunningham inspected one of three emergency electrical generators purchased as part of an ongoing Federal Emergency Management Agency Hazard Mitigation Grant. They also talked with Jay Evans, head of the city electric department, and Jerry Sutton, director of the water treatment plant about the next step for installation of the generators.
This grant provides funding for one 150 kW and two 250 kW generators for use at the water treatment plant.
