What: Accountability ratings for AISD/Bowie
Where: AISD District, Bowie area
When: This year, 2018
Why: To properly represent Bowie High School for its worth, and to receive the funding that is necessary for our school to properly grow
How: Academic performance, good attendance, STAAR scores, etc.
2. Accountability scores have recently come out this year, and Bowie High School received an overall score of a shining 97, with AISD lagging behind with an 89.

4. I don't see any particular opinions.
5. I believe 'Accountability ratings in' could be improved in how it presents its topic; I had no idea what kind of responsibilities they meant by this title, and it wasn't generally a news article I would have read with such a confusing title. Perhaps add 'school' to the beginning just for clarification.
6. No.
Painted parking spots stir up debate about criteria
1. Who: Senior students who qualified for a painted parking spot
What: The things represented in painted parking spots
Where: Bowie High School
When: This year, 2018
Why: A rejection of a design sparked up debate on what was allowed or not
How: There are certain things that are allowed to be represented in parking spots, and others that are not.
2. The painted parking spots that seniors with excellent attendance can earn have recently sparked up debate among students and staff. Because of a bible verse design that had been rejected, other spots that hadn't formerly been touched were pointed out, and many students were brought out to be spoken to about their parking spots.

What: The lack of air conditioning in some classrooms
Where: Bowie High School
When: Beginning of the 2018-2019 school year
Why: The temperature of some classrooms is absolutely unbearable for staff and students.

2. The climate in Bowie High School has grown to be unbearably intolerable in some classrooms starting this year. Over the summer, repairs were made to the school to improve conditions, however, some classrooms were affected by this and had parts that required replacing, and, until those systems can be fixed, these terrible conditions have distracted students and teachers from performing at their full potential.
