Officials at Moran ISD clarified that Jason Price, who filled out paperwork for the school board before the Feb. 14 deadline, filed specifically for a two-year unexpired term rather than a full three-year term, left vacant when longtime trustee Sug Roller resigned.

The school will still conduct an election on May 3 to decide between three candidates for two seats – incumbents Alice Branham and Sam Snyder, along with Chris Leonard.

The two candidates who get the most votes will win the two at-large seats.

In January of this year, the Albany News came out with a character for young readers to locate each week in the newspaper. Waylon the Pesky Cowboy, hidden in every issue, has quickly become a fan favorite with the youth in Albany. Novel idea to increase readership, especially with an audience not as familiar with the idea of holding an actual paper. 

The Albany ISD school board met last week to discuss key issues, including the purchase of new buses, facility improvements, and contract extensions for district employees.

Two New Buses 

Approved

One of the primary topics was the need for new school buses to replace aging vehicles. The board approved the purchase of two 72-passenger Thomas buses, priced at $140,000 each, using foundation funds. The buses are expected to arrive by mid-March, sooner than anticipated.

So remove every trace of your “leaven” of compromise with sin so that you might become new and pure again. For indeed, you are clean because Christ, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed for us. -1 Corinthians 5:7 (TPT)
