NISD only entity to have contested election in May
The deadline to file as a candidate for the May 6 ballot for the three Nocona entities with only the school district planning an election.
Nocona Independent School District is the only one with a contested race for place seven. Incumbent Jay Womack, retired agriculture teacher, is challenged by Shelly Parker, paramedic/respiratory therapist. If Womack is elected it would be his third, three-year term as a trustee.
The Place Five seat on the board has Gary Eldred running for the position. Incumbent J.W. Patterson had filed, but pulled out after Eldred, a local realtor, filed for the race.
The Nocona City Council will be uncontested with the city expected to cancel its election. Mayor Robert Fenoglio is running unopposed along with Councilmen Donnie Davis and Robert Fuller.
For the Nocona General Hospital District Board incumbents Kristal Ferguson, Chris Keck, Ken Koontz and Paula Webb filed for re-election. The district also is expected to cancel the election.
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.
