Bowie Independent School Trustees will consider administrator contracts and hiring of a new head football coach/athletic director when the board meets at 5:30 p.m. on Feb. 23.
An executive session is scheduled for both topics followed by action back in open session.
The district has been accepting applications for the AD/coaching job since Coach Hugh Farmer resigned in early January after just one year on the job. He came to Bowie after eight years as Seymour’s football coach.
When he resigned Farmer said he had undergone some “life changing personal family events,” and he was retiring to focus on family. Farmer came in when Cory Mandrell left the job after just three years.
Superintendent Blake Enlow said they received about 100 applicants for the job and they narrowed it to seven who were interviewed. He anticipates a new AD may be named this week.
The administrator contracts include the assistant superintendent, principals and directors such as finance and curriculum.
Enlow will seek authorization to file a missed school day waiver for the weather event on Jan. 30-Feb. 4.
The superintendent will report on board training dates, the March board meeting date, calendar discussion for the 2023-24 school year and facilities committee update.
