Read moreDaylight Savings Time is Sunday, March 14 but how did daylight savings come to be? First, many wrongfully credit Benjamin Franklin or the agricultural industry or farmers. In fact, the man who came up with daylight savings time was William Willett of England back in 1905. He pushed for the United Kingdom to adopt summer time so they could take advantage of the sunlight but he died before the U.K. adopted his ideology. The first country to adopt daylight savings time was Germany during World War I and they used Willett’s recommendations. On April 30, 1916, the U.K. adopted summer time a few weeks after the Germans. In the U.S., daylight savings time was first used on March 31, 1918, as a wartime measure. Farmers and the agriculture industry were against it as they used the sun and not the clock to dictate what they did, and under daylight savings, they fell behind shipping schedules as they had to wait for the dew to evaporate to harvest hay, cows were not ready to be milked, and hired hands worked less since they left at the same for dinner. Daylight savings time was repealed after World War I and brought back in World War II, then it became a mess as each city in each state chose if and when they wanted to implement it. Meaning some states had different daylight savings times for each city. In 1966, the Uniform Time Act standardized daylight savings time and allowed every state to choose to follow it or remain on standard time year-round. To this day only Hawaii, Arizona, the Navajo Nations, and U.S. territories do not observe it.
Read moreMy name is Bric Turner and after three and a half years as the secondary principal, I have been named the new superintendent of Meadow ISD. I am honored to lead a district with great students, a fantastic staff, and the best school board in the state of Texas. Also, to be a part of the tremendous school community of Terry County. I am proud of our Meadow community for supporting the COVID-19 protection measures that were implemented in our school. Our students and staff have been asked to wear masks, our classrooms have desk shields for each student, our cleaning staff disinfects surfaces all through the day, and we have GermBlast treat our buildings every three months from top to bottom. Taking these measures has allowed our school to remain open with no COVID disruptions since we rang the first bell on August 11th . Our students have been outstanding this year. We have had success in academics, athletics, FFA, and FCCLA. We are looking forward to a great spring competitive season as well. Our teachers and staff care about the students and work tirelessly to help them build their futures. Meadow ISD offers advanced academics with Pre-AP and AP classes and dual credit available through South Plains College, as well as multiple pathways in career and technical education. Meadow ISD has student support systems in place with a full-time registered nurse, special education and dyslexia programs, and the federal migrant education program.
