First Responders Show Appreciation to Medical Staff By Wade Thibodeaux First responders from all over Chambers County participated in a “Parade” from medical facility
to medical facility throughout C h a m b e r s County last Friday afternoon to show support
and appreciation for the medical staff that is on the front lines of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Groups of firefighters, paramedics, and police officers started their parade
at the Winnie Community Hospital and then made their way over to Anahuac and then on to facilities on the West side of the County. The purpose of the entire venture was to
say “Thank You” and show support for the Doctors, Nurses, and all medical staff who are treating the patients and dealing with the Covid-19/ Corona Virus situation.

East Chambers Trustees Change Grading System By Wade Thibodeaux The East Chambers ISD Board of Trustees met in regular session last Monday, April 13, 2020 at 6:00 pm. via teleconference to conduct their monthly business meeting. One of the agenda items that generated the most discussion was the changing of the way the grades were figured for the GPA (Grade
Point Average) of the Valedictorian, Salutatorian, and subsequent honor students. The normal way of digesting all of those numbers would be to cut off the grades at the end of the fifth six weeks and then add in the college level grades when available to determine the final order of classmates. However, due to the Covid-19 situation
and the fact that students have been on remote instruction since March 16, 2020, the administration and the Trustees felt like a tweaking was in order. The Board approved changing the end of the fourth six weeks to the last day before remote instruction began and that moved the end of the fourth six weeks to
March 16 instead of February 28th. The fifth six weeks will now be the remote instruction period which has since the meeting been extended for the remainder of the academic year and will have no bearing on the class ranking. The calculations for the top spots in the 2020 graduating class will now end with the grades

earned up until the end of the fourth six weeks and then college grades will be added into the mix if available and if no college grades are available due to the University changing their system to a Pass/ Fail status(Due to their own remote instruction situation) then the college grades will be left out of
the equation. The remainder of the meeting was mostly housekeeping items that dealt with paperwork for the State for funding associated with the Corona Virus situation and the paying of the District’s bills. No public comments were received and no executive session was needed. All (Cont. on page 4)
