Dumpsters being placed for additional debris (updated)
To help with some of the additional storm clean-up the City of Bowie is placing four dumpsters around the community for city residents to use for debris removal.
There will be two dumpsters in the 300 block of Ussery, one dumpster in the 200 block of Pecan and one dumpster at the Bowie Business Park U.S. 287 entrance and one at the park entrance on Farm-to-Market 1125. They will be available starting June 19 through June 29.
Please note currently, the Business Park is not accepting tree debris – according to Texas Commission on Environmental Quality regulations the site has reached a limit of debris at this time. The community will be notified if additional tree debris will be accepted.
Residents are advised not to dispose of items on the outside of the dumpsters – the Business Park also will be monitored for illegal dumping.
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.
