Front Page- A new policy for transfers takes effect
Next school year, there will be a new transfer policy. The new policy says that transfers will be only allowed at campuses with space available, to stop overcrowding at high schools. This makes Bowie and Akins considered as "frozen" schools. Even students that have already completed their transfers are at risk to be transferred to the high school that they are zoned to.
1.
a) AISD
b) A new transfer policy
c) Austin
d) The 2016-2017 school year
e) To stop schools from overcrowding
f) Transfers will only be accepted at schools with space available.
2. Andri Lyons, Jessica Torrez, and Michaela Gero are all quoted.
3. I believe that Gero's quote was the strongest, because since she is a senior she is the closest person directly related to the rest of us, the student body. We can all easily imagine how it would be to change schools, as mentioned in her quote.
4. The lead sentence did make me want to keep reading because it made me wonder what transfer policy would take effect and if it affected me.
5. The last sentence is a statement.
Student Life- Reaching the perfect balance
This story is about Bryana Johnson and how she handles her schedule with 2 jobs and going to school.

5. The last sentence is a quote.
News- FFA takes T.C.Y.S. by a storm
Many Bowie students in FFA went to TCYS and got placement ribbons but most importantly life lessons. Each student chose the animal that best suited their needs and time frame, and they took care of them daily. Unfortunately, many of the rabbits got sick with a fatal illness. But this also made students realize that they can't get too attached, but they know how it feels to lose an animal.
