Enforcement of
School Attendance Law
Discussed
The County Attorney, Pro-
bation Officer John Owen,
County Judge Bobbie Owen,
and J.P. Pet. One Nolan
Dunlap met on October 27
with officials representing
Bryson, Jacksboro and Per-
rin-Whitt School Districts to
discuss procedures to insure
obedience to compulsory at-
tendance law of State of
Texas.
Parents should be aware
that under 4.25 of Texas
Education Code they are
responsible and have the
duty to see that their chil-
dren are properly enrolled
and attend school. Failure to
do so can result in a fine of
$25 a day for a first offense.
Fines are assessed against
parents.
Pursuant to discussion
and agreement with the
school districts attendance
officers will be filing com-
plaints in Justice of Peace
Nolan Dunlap's court to en-
sure compliance with the
law. Parents who have chil-
dren out of school without
excuse and their children's
conduct indicates a knowing
or reckless violaton of the
school attendance law may
face prosecution and fines.
Parents who are in violation
will first be contacted or
warned by school attendance
officer prior to filing charges.
The County Attorney’s of-
fice has prepared the neces-
sary documents to file such
cases and is attempting to
establish educational class-
es to counsel parents who
may be convicted of viola-
tions of the law.
Failure to obey the law or
pay the fines or attend coun-
selling once convicted can
result in jail sentence. Ac-
cording to County Attorney
Mike Mask the law will be
applied and enforced as re-
quired by statute.
County Attorney Mike
Mask stated: Parents who
neglect this basic and ele-
mental duty endanger their
childrens future and in some
cases endanger the state
funding which allows all of
our schools to provide qual-
ity education to our young.
The law will be enforced to
protect all of our students in
Jack County.
Special trial dates are
being set up to assist the
schools in this effort.

The greenhouse industry
is among the fastest growing
segments of Texas Agricul-
ture. With an annual value of
over $600,000,000, this in-
dustry has more than
doubled in size over the last
10 years. As a result, the
Texas greenhouse industry
has established itself as one
of the largest producers of
ornamental plants in the
U.S.
The increased demand for
greenhouse crops is one of
the primary reasons that
this area of horticulture has
experienced such a steady
rate of growth. Foliage, flow-
ering and bedding plants
have become a commodity
that many Texans have
grown to appreciate on a
daily basis. These purchas-
ing habits have not gone un-
noticed, and now most super-
markets sell chrysanthe-
mums and roses along with
milk and bread.
To provide clientele with
more information about the
greenhouse industry, the
Texas Agricultural Exten-
sion Service is sponsoring
the annual Texas Green-
house Grower's and Inter-
iorscaper's Conference. The
program will be held on
November 14-16,1989 at the
Hilton Hotel and Convention
Center in College Station,
Texas. A special Beginners
Shortcourse will be con-
ducted on Wednesday morn-
ing, from 9:30 - 11:30, for
individuals interested in
learning more about com-
mercial greenhouse produc-
tion. For information about
this educational activity
