COVID hits Bowie campuses hard during January

COVID-19 absences have been challenging for Bowie Independent School District since the new year opened, but officials hope the worst may be passed after the district experienced a low of 81.69% on Jan. 14 with 304 students absent.
The board of trustees met Thursday night for a lengthy agenda of reports, a public hearing and the mid-year formative evaluation of the superintendent.
In the COVID report, Superintendent Blake Enlow said as of Jan. 26 311 students had been tested for the virus with 185 positives. In the staff 143 were tested with 89 positives.

Elementary Principal Kathy Green said last week her campus was hard hit with 23 teacher vacancies on one day. She said they were able to get everything covered as everyone pitched in to help.
Enlow said there is no “magic number” where the district will decide to close campuses and as long as there is enough adult staff they will continue to operate. He noted closing impacts parents and families hard as they deal with work and school.

Former DA Hall remains in jail

Published

on

As of June 9 details on why an appeal bond was revoked on Casey Hall which prompted her arrest in Sulphur Springs on June 2 remain unclear.
The former 97th District Attorney was convicted of misapplication of fiduciary property and theft by a public servant on May 13 in the 16th District Court in Denton County.
The jury gave her a sentence of one year in state jail for misapplication of fiduciary property and six years probation for theft by a public servant.
The 38-year-old Hall was booked into the Hopkins County Jail on June 2 on a warrant after a Denton County judge revoked the appeal bond that was $10,000.
Hall filed her intent to appeal the conviction and sentence, so after posting a $10,000 bond, she was released on May 14 instead of beginning her sentence.
Denton County Court records indicated on June 2 Judge Sherry Shipman, who presided in the trial, declared Hall’s bond insufficient and a warrant was issued for her arrest.
There were rumors Hall may have opted to drop her appeal, but that information has not been confirmed through the court. As of June 9 Hall remained booked into the Hopkins County Jail.
