Thousands of high school sophomores who failed last spring’s tougher test will gain passing scores after the agency credited 4,640 students for a math item that could be answered two ways. Districts are told this week of the changes.
Republican Sens. Robert Buncan of Lubbock and Todd Staples of Palestine traveled to Albuquerque to confer with Democratic counterparts holed up in a hotel as they boycott the Texas Senate over redistricting. The meeting lasted about an hour and aimed to improve communications seen as media driven.
A federal appeals court halted Jose Alfredo Rivera's execution minutes before it could proceed, after claims of mental retardation and potential innocence. The 5th Circuit ruled Rivera may have grounds to pursue relief, sending the case to a Brownsville federal district judge. Veronica Zavala remains imprisoned for the child's death, with life term and parole ineligibility through 2028.
The district introduces Sharla Bigler and Jessica Campbell as new eighth and sixth grade math instructors at Gentry and Highlands Junior Schools. Former Goose Creek graduates, plus Lee College alum Maggie Eubanks, join Cedar Bayou Junior School. Veterans include Clint Harwell guiding visually impaired students. The teacher luncheon emphasizes the impact of educators.
The administration proposes eliminating the second assistant city manager job budgeted at $61,387 for six months and cutting $36,620 for a new Unforseen Initiatives account. Goose Creek school security drops $43,686 from the Bright Star Program funded by the police. Sterling Library hours would shorten while security remains, adding $8,355. Salary reductions span eight full-time and two part-time positions, all vacant. A budget hearing is set for Aug 28 with a vote on the proposal.
