Bowie School Trustees received several payroll options to consider for the 2022-23 budget as preliminary budget work continues.
Finance Director Paula Peterson reviewed the options prepared by her and Superintendent Blake Enlow. So far about $9.5 million in taxes have been collected, which is up $118,258 with a few months left in the fiscal year. At this point overall taxes are up $21,836 compared to this point in the prior year.
State revenue is running behind by about $1.8 million, however, Peterson said last year during July and August the district saw $1,767,000 in state payments and $260,000 in taxes arrive. In looking at other revenue, the director said donations are down about $30,000 and playoff games are down about $15,000.

On Friday city officials reported the intersection at Rock and Pillar was closed due to a sinkhole in the street. This area has been experiencing major drainage problems for many years damaging culverts and the street asphalt and concrete, with a portion of the street collapsing earlier in the spring. Drivers should avoid this area.
The Nocona City Council approved a trio of Nocona Economic Development Corporation requests and considered infrastructure work questioned by a city council.
Councilors met on June 10. Two of the NEDC requests had already been presented with the timeclock for comment started. With that time limit over, the requests were finalized.
The Type A and B Boards will spend $19,225 at the Indian Oaks Golf Club for equipment, aerifying and top dressing the greens and batteries for rental carts. It also will expend $20,000 to the Nocona Chisholm Trail Rodeo Arena Committee to build new concrete bleachers, railings, fence and platform.
The third NEDC request is a new one related to a Type B board loan of $200,000 to Amy and Chris Nunneley for a new apartment and office construction project.
