Student transfers and the 2026-27 appraisal calendar and appraisers will be considered.
A closed session is slated to review the Texas Association of School Boards salary study, review a candidate for assistant principal at the high school and review the 2023-26 safety and security audit survey.
Back in open session the board may consider action on those topics including an offer of a probationary term contract for the BHS assistant principal. The board also will schedule future meetings.
Veteran educator Kim Cantwell was appointed the intermediate assistant principal at the July 9 Bowie School Board meeting.
Cantwell takes the place of Landon Wesley who moved up from assistant to principal last month after Principal Jason Childress moved to the new student services position.
The agenda listed the possible naming of an AP for the high school, but Superintendent Donna Hale said after the executive session they had hoped to have one, but it will be on next week’s agenda.
