Trustees' Attorney Plans Appeal To State Board Of Education
Channelview School Board faces a state board appeal after Education Commissioner J W Edgar ruled the district must either pay Bowden Cook the remaining salary from his contract or place him in a job comparable to head coach and athletic director. The four hour hearing centered on whether Cook’s March 1966 reassignment was a demotion or mere duties shift, with board members and superintendent Schochler offering mixed views on its seniority implications. Edgar’s decision affirmed district latitude in personnel transfers while stressing duties must align with former responsibilities, noting a $10,026 annual salary and Cook’s new role overseeing concessions at football games.
