iJail Re-Certified As Meeting
Texas Commission Standards
) The Hardin County Jail has
‘been certified as acceptable by
'the Texas Commission on Jail
\ Standards.
• Improvements and correc-
' tions at the jail were completed
'.recently and Bob Dearing,
• supervising inspector, certified
'the jail as acceptable, according
, to state standards, Thursday of
• last week.
’ Hardi/i County Sheriff H. R.
“Mike” Holzapfel was present-
- ed the plaque announcing the
certification by Dearing. Max
• Langston, chief of operations
for the sheriffs department,
‘and Hardin County Judge Ray
Martin were also’present for
, presentation of the plaque-.
The jail was not awarded
; recertification last year during
, the annual inspection because
• the emergency power genera-
tor was not connected to the
, jail. State law requires that an
• emergency energy source be
; connected to jails to provide
lighting and ventilation during
times of electrical blackouts.
Dearing told reporters dur-
ing a press conference held to
announce the recertification
that he was responsibly for the
misunderstanding which lead to
the loss of the certification by
the jail.
Dearing said he had checked
for several years to see that the
sheriffs department “had an
emergency generator" hut had
never determined that the
generator did not connect with
the jail. He discovered the
error during last year's inspec-
tion and had to remove certifi-
cation until the problem could
be corrected.

three standards, Dearing said.
The jails must meet 650 specific
guidelines covering safety, se-
curity and sanitation in the
facility.
Of the 254 counties in the
state, 115 are now within the
guidelines outlined by the jail
standards commission, Dearing
said. Hardin County is included
in that 115 figure.
He noted that the jail in
Hardin County's courthouse
was built after the State of
Texas established laws cover-
ing safety, security and sanita-
tion in jails. He said that this
county’s jail was built according
to the state specifications and
guidelines.
“Except for minor changes in
the rules which my commission
has made over the years to
increase safety, the Hardin
County Jail has been within the
state guidelines since it was
first built."
Dearing noted that the
cooperation of the county
judge, the sheriff and commiss-
ioners was necessary to make
the improvements which re-
sulted in the jail being recerti-
fied.
County Judge Ray Martin,
who was also present for the
conference,.said that the coun-
ty would continue to make
improvements to the jail with
the funds being received from
Orange County.
Hardin County is retaining
several Orange County prison-
ers and is being paid for the
service by that county. The
funds coming into Hardin Coun-
ty are more than the extra cost
for keeping the prisoners so the
commissioners court has been
approving the use of the funds
for improvements and correc-
tions to the jail.

May or June meeting of the
Board of Trustees, according to
Weeks Crawford, district
superintendent. “However, in-
dividual student scores will be
reported only to the student,
parents or guardian, and the
school personnel directly in*
volved," Crawford added.
“This testing program is
designed to help the student
and the school improve achieve-
ment," Crawford pointed out.
“For this reason, results will be
reported in a manner that will
help everyone become more
effective.”
"Third grade students were
added to the annual testing
sequence in 1981. The three
tests will make up an annual,
assessment effort designed to
help both state and local school
officials improve their ser
vices," Crawford said.
Overall student perform-
ance, both by campus and by
district, will be reported each
year to the public by the local
Board of Trustees.
Westinghouse Corporation of
Iowa City, Iowa, will help
administer the 1982 test pro-
gram and develop and field test
new items for the 1982-83
series under contract to the
State Board of Education. The
Iowa firm will also operate a
computerized inventory of all
test booklets to assure strict
security at all times.
"Each test question will
relate fo a specific objective or
skill students are expected to
learn by the time they complete
the particular grade," Craw-
ford points out.
"We use the term ‘criterion-
referenced’ simply because it is
a short way of saying the
answer to each question must
lead back to a specific objec-
tive,” Crawford explained.
Ninth grade students who do
not make a satisfactory “exit
level" score may re-take the
test each year they remain in
high school. Tenth and eleventh
grade students who have not
passed one or more of the three
tests now are being required to
take only those tests.
The annual test program will
be administered by specially-
trained personnel in each school
district under the guidelines
and supervision of the Texas
Education agency.
Silsbee ISD students will
take the TABS test according
to the following schedule:
Kirby Elementary (3rd
Grade) Feb. 16-18.
Read-Turrentine (5th Grade)
