told KOGT that this will be an opportunity for
him to be closer to his parents, who live in the
area. Myers also coached and taught in the
district back in the 1980's. His wife
Pattie, who is the at-risk manager at the Middle
School, will also work with the district.
Dr. Myers said working with everyone in the
BCISD has been a pleasure and "the way the
community and faculty came together after Rita
was something I was very proud to witness."
The BC school district is one of only eight
"Recognized" 3A Districts (137 total) in the
state and for that Dr. Myers is grateful to the
teachers for their hard work during his tenure.
Hired here in Jan. 2005, he'll begin spending
one vacation day a week in Livingston after he
is officially hired next month. The
Livingston School District has approximately
