Gov. Rick Perry has reappointed Barbara Cargill as chair of the State Board of Education for a two-year term. Chairwoman Cargill is a former educator and has served as chair since her appointment in July 2011. Cargill received a bachelor’s degree from Baylor University and a master’s degree in science education from the Texas Woman’s University. Although the governor has made this appointment, it is not yet set in stone. Cargill will need to be confirmed by the Texas Senate before taking the reins once again at the State Board of Education.
And my member, Thomas Ratliff, is now vice chair! SO proud. BTW- I watched The Revisionaries tonight and thought it was very well done. I expected to be embarrassed. Instead, I was proud that we, the voters, have turned things around and I am especially proud that our Thomas Ratliff is one of the main reasons for this. I encourage everyone to watch it.
I agree, Deann. I watched it on PBS Monday night and was riveted. Here are some links with more info on the film: http://www.therevisionariesmovie.com/ and http://video.pbs.org/video/2325563509. At the PBS link, you can watch the film online until Feb. 27.
