School board signs resolution

Members of the Mount Ver- vided a technology update
non ISD School Board voted for the board. Audio/visual
unanimously to join more than systems are being installed in
800 Texas school districts in
opposing over-reliance on
standardized testing.
“We are being strangled by
the State with requirements
and are unable to effectively
teach our students,” Superin-
tendent John Kaufman said.
The board adopted the reso-
lution during their monthly
meeting on Monday, Oct. 8.
As of press time, 804 of the

The resolution itself op-

“We are hoping to get the
attention of our State Legisla-

Kaufman added.
A complete copy of the
resolution will be posted on

Evetts, Bigony, Boren
win art recognition
Three local area artist’s
work was chosen to be fea-
tured in the Southwest Water-
color Society’s 49th annual
Membership Exhibit.
Only 82 paintings were
selected for inclusion in this
year’s show. The exhibit is on
display now through Friday,
Oct. 19, at the Family Arts
Gallery, 4012 Preston Rd.,
#544, Plano. The gallery can
be called at 972-378-1234 for
directions.
Toni Evetts was awarded
a $150 cash prize for her
painting, entitled “Cathedral
Basilica of St. Frances, Sante
Fe.” The piece is in muted
tones of pinks, green and blue
with the focus being the cathe-
dral building.
Ron Bigony earned a $125
cash prize for his painting
“Durango.” The painting is a
whiter snow scene of a farm
house and bam with use of
strong light and shadow.
In addition Mr. Bigony is a
featured artist in the American
Artist Watercolor magazine’s
fourth quarter issue, which just
hit the news stands.
Beverly Boren was pre-
sented a $237 cash prize for
her painting “Solitude.” The
panorama of trees, broad skies
and wide open fields are awash
in shades of yellows, varied
greens and blues typical of late
summer.
The SWWCS has approxi-
mately 400 members through-
out the U.S.A. The group
conducts six workshops with
nationally known artists each
year in Dallas, from Septem-
ber through May.
The paintings honored by
the society this year can be
seen on their website at www.
swswatercolor.org. Other ex-
amples of their work are on
display at the Frame Up Gal-
lery in Mount Vernon.
