Two proposed calendars
for the 2017-18 school year
were presented Tuesday to
trustees.
The traditional calendar
would see school start Aug.
28, 2017, and end June 4,
2018.
A second calendar, pend-
ing trustees’ decision next
month on adopting a “district
of innovation” status, would
see school begin Aug. 17,
2017, and end May 23, 2018.
Trustees will consider
adopting one of the two cal-
endars at their April meeting.
The “innovation” proposal
came about after House Bill
1842 during the 84th Texas
Legislature in 2015 cleared
the way for public schools to
take advantage of some of the
exemptions from state regu-
lations allowed for charter
schools.

Henderson Independent
School District will ask for per-
mission to transfer control of
money donated to the district
by the estate of the late gradu-
ate Ruby Dean.
HISD is considering moving
the money to the Henderson
ISD Education Foundation in
an effort to earn a better rate of
return, a move that could pre-
serve the principal of the grant
while still producing annual
scholarships.
While the money remains
with the district, it can be
invested only in the most con-
servative of methods. The cur-
rent balance of the Ruby Dean
Scholarship fund is $670,767
and is in a money market
account drawing 0.3 percent
interest.
The gift was received by
HISD in 2012, and the district
began awarding scholarships in
2013.
The original gift from the
Dean estate was $805,500,
HISD Superintendent Keith
Boles said. HISD awards two
$32,000 scholarships annually
to cover four years of college.
Per the estate’s directions,
the scholarships are to go to
grads majoring in math or
English or related fields such
as engineering, accounting or
journalism.
The money market account
generates little interest, Boles
said, so the annual scholarship
awarded to students reduces
the principal.
In fiscal year 2016, the Hen-
derson ISD Education Founda-
tion investments with its Hale
Scholarship funds returned
a rate of 5.8 percent while

But concessions being offered

POSTSCRIPT
It’s likely dawned on many
folks the most difficult terror-
ist attack to stop is the one
involving a single person, who
may or may not tip anyone off
of their plans. By all appear-
ances, that’s what happened
Wednesday in London, where
a man drove a car into pedes-
trians then stabbed to death
a police officer near Parlia-
ment. It’s similar to earlier
attacks in France and Germa-
ny and a frightening reminder
of what we’re up against.
LL
A felony warrant has been
issued by Pct. 5 Justice of the
Peace Joe Sorrells for Billy
Wayne Newman, 44, of Hen-
derson. Newman is wanted
for aggravated assault with a
deadly weapon after a shooting
near New London.
According to a Rusk County medical treatment. According
