Bowie School Trustees approved all but one administrator contract during its Feb. 24 meeting, accepted a bid to do renovation work on the new automotive technology building and will advertise for proposals to build the new administration offices.
The board met for a 35-minute executive session for the contract review that includes the assistant administrator, all four campus principals, chief financial officer, lead network administrator, curriculum director, PEIMS director and the Accelerated Learning Academy/Disciplinary Alternative Education program. Each one will have their contract extended by one year.
Superintendent Blake Enlow said the athletic director’s position will soon be vacant as AD and Head Football Coach Cory Mandrell submitted his resignation last week. He thanked Mandrell for his dedication and hard work the last three years.

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.
