Weekend Update

Saturday looks to be a busy day here in Skidmore. We'll kick off the day with the Bobcat Little League Bake Sale hosted by Papa's Market. The sale will take place from 8:00 am until they run out of goodies. After the sale, Little League volunteers will move over to the future site of the Bobcat Little League park for a Field Work Day. Board members plan to show up armed with chainsaws and riding mowers in an effort to clear as much debris and undergrowth from the site as possible. If you happen to be passing by on your backhoe, dumptruck, or bulldozer, feel free to stop and lend a hand. A few of the board members may sneak away around 2:00 pm to attend the High School Drama Department's presentation of The Last Gladiator. Admission is $5.00 for the comedy two-act play. The Jr. High 8th Grade Boys & Girls basketball teams will travel to Port Aransas to participate in Port Aransas Middle School Tournament Saturday. The boys will play Austwell-Tivoli at 12:45 pm and Port Aransas at 3:15 pm. The girls will play Austwell-Tivoli at 11:30 am and Port Aransas at 2:00 pm.

School Board Holds Special Meeting

The Board of Trustees of the Skidmore-Tynan Independent School District held a special meeting Wednesday. Agenda items included a "Parent Level III Grievance Presentation" and a routine "Conduct Evaluation of the Superintendent of Schools." Both items were discussed in closed session before the School Board reconvened for possible action on the issues. Trustees voted to deny the parent grievance and no changes were made to the Superintendent's employment contract. The next School Board Meeting will take place at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, January 12, 2004.
