Bowie ISD to serve up meal program
Bowie Independent School District will be participating in the no-cost summer meal program for children.
In Bowie the summer meal program will be offered at the high school campus from June 3-13, Monday through Thursday each week while summer school is in session.
Breakfast is served 7:30-8 a.m. and lunch, 11 a.m to 12:30 p.m.
Healthy summer meals make a difference.
- In Texas, more than 1 in 5 children struggle with hunger.
- When the school year ends, children often lose access to consistent, nutritious school meals.
- The Summer Meals Program ensures more Texas children have enough food for an active, healthy life.
Wondering what’s in store for you and your children when you arrive at a summer meal site? Expect welcoming faces in a supervised setting, and a healthy, meal at no cost to children 18 and younger and eligible people with disabilities.
Meal site schedules are subject to change. Please call to confirm dates, times and meal-service details.
For more information, parents should visit SummerFood.org. The Summer Meal Program provides meals at no cost to children and teens 18 years old and younger in low-income areas.
Participating families do not have to apply register or provide identification. The U.S. Department of Agriculture funds the Summer Meals Program – including the Summer Food Service Program and the Seamless Summer Option. The Texas Department of Agriculture administers the Summer Meals Program in Texas.
Bowie School Trustees will meet at 5:30 p.m. on July 20 opening their agenda with personnel updates and student handbook updates.
The board also will call an election for three places on the November ballot. They are presently filled by Guy Green, place five, Lee Hughes, place six and Keith Richey, place seven.
In action items the certificate of compliance with certain laws related to Senate Bill 12 will be presented, followed by possible action on certified values from Montague, Clay and Jack Counties.
Student transfers and the 2026-27 appraisal calendar and appraisers will be considered.
A closed session is slated to review the Texas Association of School Boards salary study, review a candidate for assistant principal at the high school and review the 2023-26 safety and security audit survey.
Back in open session the board may consider action on those topics including an offer of a probationary term contract for the BHS assistant principal. The board also will schedule future meetings.
Veteran educator Kim Cantwell was appointed the intermediate assistant principal at the July 9 Bowie School Board meeting.
Cantwell takes the place of Landon Wesley who moved up from assistant to principal last month after Principal Jason Childress moved to the new student services position.
The agenda listed the possible naming of an AP for the high school, but Superintendent Donna Hale said after the executive session they had hoped to have one, but it will be on next week’s agenda.
