needs to know.
Emergency School Closing Information
The question of whether or not to have school is a difficult one and also a serious one. It
is important to keep schools open if it is possible to do so safely. If several days are lost,
then it will be necessary to make up the time during the year. There are times when it is
not safe or reasonable to have school, and it becomes a problem to get information to the
homes of the community. This decision usually has to be made early in the morning on
the day involved. We will do the best we can by the following method: Information will
be given to the following radio and television stations as early as possible (by 7:00 a.m.,
if it is possible to do so):
KBST RADIO STATION, BIG SPRING (KBYG 1400 AM)
KSNY RADIO STATION, SNYDER (1450 AM & FM)
KYML RADIO STATION, LAMESA (KPET 690 AM)
KLLL RADIO STATION, LUBBOCK (1590 AM & 96.3 FM)
TV KCBD, Channel 11, Lubbock
TV KLBK, Channel 13, Lubbock
TV KMAC, Channel 28, Lubbock
Note: No announcement will be made unless school will be dismissed or the school
day will be altered. For example, the delay of school or buses running late would be
examples of when an attempt would be made to announce a modification of the
school day to television stations and radio stations.
SAT, ACT, AND OTHER STANDARDIZED TESTS
Most colleges require either the American College Test (ACT) or the Scholastic Aptitude
Test (SAT) for admission. Students are encouraged to talk with the counselor early
during their junior year to determine the appropriate exam to take; entrance exams are
usually taken at the end of the junior year. Prior to enrollment in a Texas public college
or university, most students must take an assessment test, such as the Texas Higher
Education Assessment (THEA) test.
SCHOOL FACILITIES
Care of Buildings and Equipment
The school buildings of the Borden County School were built by the community of which
the pupil is a part. These buildings were put on campus at great expense. Today it is still
more expensive to maintain them. The pupils must help keep down this expense by
caring for the buildings and equipment. It is to the advantage of the pupil to have good
equipment with which to work. The student should take part in taking care of the
equipment available and, in this way, help a great deal in securing more and better
