The Texas Education Agency released its 2019 state accountability ratings Thursday and for the first time all districts and campuses received a letter grade in the year-old “A-F” ratings.
When the letter grade system was rolled out last August, not all districts and campuses received a letter grade, but were deemed either met standard or did not meet standard.
For the school districts in Bowie, Nocona, Saint Jo and Prairie Valley this is their second year for an overall letter grade in the district and for campuses, while Gold-Burg Forestburg, Bellevue and Montague receive their first letter grades.
Within Texas there are approximately 1,200 school districts and charter schools. Statewide hundreds of districts and schools improved their overall ratings. Within the county the ratings were varied. Read the full story in the weekend Bowie News.

Against – 1308
Forestburg ISD

All results preliminary until formally canvassed
The cast and crew of Gold-Burg High School’s state-bound one-act play “Interview,” will present a public show at 4 p.m. on May 5 in the Bowie Junior High Auditorium.
Admission is $5 and there will be a bake sale to raise funds for travel and other OAP expenses. The show is directed by Linda Fitzner.
The group will travel to Austin to perform on May 13 for the state title. This is the school’s first time to take a play to the state contest.

Voters in Bowie and Forestburg Independent School Districts will have their say Saturday as both entities offer up bond issues to improve infrastructure.
Early voting came to an end on Tuesday with a total of 1,230 people casting their ballots.
On election day the polls will be open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at three locations: Bowie Senior Citizens Center, Forestburg ISD Library and Sunset City Hall. Voters can cast their ballots at any of these locations due to countywide voting.
