FBISD launches ‘Attendance Counts’ Campaign To coincide with Attendance Awareness Month, Fort Bend ISD is launching Attendance Counts – a campaign to engage and educate parents, teachers, students and community members about the importance of good attendance.

The District will participate in this ongoing effort by encouraging good attendance at all of its 75 campuses throughout the school year. The goal is to help students build a habit of good attendance early in their school careers so that they learn right away that going to school on time, every day is important. Good attendance will help students do well in high school, college and in their future careers.

“Our District is here to support students and their families,” said Dr. Charles Dupre, Superintendent of Schools.

“Building quality relationships with students and providing them with a rigorous learning environment are essential to helping students want to come to school each day. We want students to know they are missed when they aren’t in class. We also want to partner with parents to help remove any barriers that prevent students from getting to school on time every day.

Resources and support services are available, but we need everyone working together – campus staff, parents, and the community – to help each student succeed.”

School success goes hand in hand with good attendance.

Missing school can affect children in several ways. Did you know?

•Starting in kindergarten, too many absences can cause

children to fall behind in school.

•Missing 10 percent (or about 18 days) of school time can make it harder to learn to read.

•Students can still fall behind if they miss just a day or two days every few weeks.

•Being late to school may lead to poor attendance.

•Absences can affect the whole classroom if the teacher has to slow down learning to help children catch up.

Families can ensure that their children are successful in school, and in life, by helping them understand that Attendance Counts.

Additionally, families can ensure that children enjoy a full day of school by avoiding medical appointments and

‘Capture Fort Bend County’ photo contest winners

Old Main St. Bakery by Jakob Wittry, First prize winner in the high school category.

Winners of Fort Bend County Libraries’ amateur photo contest, “Capture Fort Bend County,” were announced Saturday at an Opening Day Reception and Awards Ceremony at George Memorial Library in Richmond.

All of the entries will be on dis-

play at the library throughout the month of September.

Amateur photographers were invited to enter original photographs depicting the culture, nature, people, and places of Fort Bend County. The contest was divided into two categories:

high school students and adults.

Fifty-five photographs were entered into the competition, which will become an annual event for Fort Bend County Libraries. The entries were judged by three expert photographers, including a retired professional

photographer.

The judges thought the works were thoughtful, creative and extremely well done. “We were amazed to see such great talent in Fort Bend,” commented one judge. “We were not expecting the diversity and variety of the photographs, but what we saw was a great reflection of this county. Picking the top three in each category was an amazingly difficult decision.”

In the Adult category, first place went to Srini Sundarrajan for his photograph “Milky Way Over Brazos Bend.” Micah Goff won second place for his photograph “Sugar Factory at Sunset.”

Third place went to Robbin Mallett for her photograph, “Green Heron Catches Breakfast.”

In the High School category, 9th-grader Jakob Wittry captured first place for his photo, “Old Main Street Bakery.” Second place went to 9th-grader Amira Almusawi for her blackand-white photograph, “Underneath the Willow Tree.” Oliver Wang, grade 10, won third place for her photo, “Spartans.”

All of the photographs may be viewed during regular library hours on the second floor landing at George Memorial Library, located at 1001 Golfview in Richmond.

Campaign Fom Page 1 extended trips when school is in session, developing backup plans for getting to school if something comes up, and seeking advice (from teachers, school counselors or other parents) on how to make their child feel comfortable and excited about learning when the child seems anxious about going to school.

While Fort Bend ISD is asking families to do their part to ensure that students are at school each day, the District is also counting on everyone in our community (including

after-school programs, healthcare providers, policymakers and community members) to join in the campaign to promote good attendance.

Student attendance can improve when schools and communities work together with students and their families, and by attending school regularly, children feel better about school – and themselves.

To learn more about helping students develop good attendance habits, visit the Attendance Counts webpage.

At the Monday, June 15 Council Meeting, Missouri City Council Members unanimously approved and adopted the Fiscal Year 2016 annual budget. The total proposed budget is $90,190,252 for all funds, with a General Fund budget of $42,348,670, or 47 percent of the total budget. The approved budget is divided in the following ways: The approved General Fund budget, which runs from July 1, 2015, to June 30, 2016, will factor in the City’s Rollback Tax Rate decreasing to $0.54468, down from .565000 in FY15, resulting in a budget shortfall of $1,060,726. The tax rate’s decrease comes as the result of an increase in the City’s taxable property values; the resulting decrease in revenue will not impact City services and the City will maintain its reserves.

In a recent public presentation on the issue, Acting City Manager Bill Atkinson explained that “the City will utilize just over $1 million of reserve funds that have been accrued in the Fleet Replacement Fund to accommodate the impending revenue shortfall.” He went on to emphasize that “the City will move forward in implementing the same level of services outlined in June when the budget was approved.

Residents may be assured that there will be no impact to existing and proposed City services.”

On Sept. 2, the City published a Notice of Property Tax Rates on the City’s website and in the Fort Bend Independent, the City’s newspaper of record. At the Sept. 8 Special City Council meeting, Members discussed the tax rate and scheduled public hearings for the following dates: • Sept. 17—Special Meeting; 5:30 p.m., Council Chambers, 1522 Texas Pkwy.

• Sept. 21—Regular Meeting; 7 p.m., Council Chambers, 1522 Texas Pkwy.

City Council will vote to adopt the tax rate at its Oct. 5 Regular Meeting.

In the FY16 budget’s General Fund, 50 percent of the total expenditures are allocated to Public Safety, while 67 percent of the General Fund expenditures support expenses needed to fund personnel-related costs. The largest sources of revenue to the General Fund are property taxes (49 percent) and sales tax (21 percent); various franchise fees (9 percent) make up the third largest source of revenue to the General Fund.

“The annual budget process and the resulting document are arguably the most important responsibilities of the City Council and City Staff,” Interim Finance Director Michael Higgins said. “The budget provides insight and transparency to the public regarding how staff is implementing the goals and objectives defined in the 2029 Strategic Plan.”

Highlights from this year’s budget include: • $1.4m for Police Department salaries and the conversion of 4 part-time detention officers to full-time; • $90,600 for Public Works needs including 35 new digital radios costing $66,000; See BUDGET, Page 4

“The City’s 2029 Strategic Plan, adopted by City Council in October 2014, set the priorities for the Fiscal Year 2016 Budget. The Strategic Plan outlines the most pressing issues and priorities that are essential to improving Missouri City and measures the City’s ongoing progress,” Atkinson said.

“Missouri City has been evolving steadily from a bedroom community to one that is now seeing significant growth and diversification in land use and revenues.

The community has experienced a positive shift of the City’s largest single revenue source, property taxes, from solely residential to more distribution and investment on the commercial side.”

The city has partnered with Tyler Technologies to provide an interactive website with comprehensive information on a variety of City financial information. The website provides financial transparency to the public with easy access to the City’s expenditure, revenue and budget information for 2014, 2015 and 2016.

City of Missouri City Notice of Public Hearing on Tax Increase The City of Missouri City will hold two public hearings on a proposal to increase total tax revenues from properties on the tax roll in the preceding year by 7.96 percent (percentage by which proposed tax rate exceeds lower of rollback tax rate or effective tax calculated under Chapter 26, Tax Code). Your individual taxes may increase at a greater or lesser rate, or even decrease, depending on the change in the taxable value of your property in relation to the change in taxable value of all other property and the tax rate that is adopted.

The first public hearing will be held on September 17, 2015 at 5:30 P.M. at City Hall, Council Chambers, 1522 Texas Parkway, Missouri City, Texas.

The second public hearing will be held on September 21, 2015 at 7:00 P.M. at City Hall, Council Chambers, 1522 Texas Parkway, Missouri City, Texas.

The members of the governing body voted on the proposal to consider the tax increase as follows: FOR: Allen Owen, Mayor; Don Smith, Mayor Pro Tem; Jerry Wyatt, Councilmember; Chris Preston, Councilmember; Yolanda Ford, Councilmember; Anthony Maroulis, Councilmember; Floyd Emery, Councilmember AGAINST: None PRESENT and not voting: None ABSENT: None The average taxable value of a residence homestead in City of Missouri City last year was $168,669. Based on last year’s tax rate of $0.565000 per $100 of taxable value, the amount of taxes imposed last year on the average home was $952.98.

The average taxable value of a residence homestead in City of Missouri City this year is $186,299. If the governing body adopts the effective tax rate for this year of $0.504534 per $100 of taxable value, the amount of taxes imposed this year on the average home would be $939.94.

If the governing body adopts the proposed tax rate of $0.544680 per $100 of taxable value, the amount of taxes imposed this year on the average home would be $1,014.73.

SMSD budget adopted

By BARBARA FULENWIDER A unanimous vote of 14-0 passed a balanced 2015-16 Stafford Municipal School District budget.

Seven board members and seven city council members produced the vote after having had a series of joint meetings that began in February. A major topic was how to increase academic excellence and how much money could be devoted to that goal.

SMSD’s 2015-16 total budget came to $28,203,602 for a 4.83 percent increase over last year’s budget and a 1.56 percent cut in expenditures.

With the general fund, debt service fund and food service fund, the total budget comes to $34,725,305. The projected ending fund balance is $11,783,148.

Last year the district had a projected fund balance of $9,418,608 and after this year’s budget is expensed, $9,463,732 is projected to still be in the kitty after $120,000 comes out for library reno-

vations and $125,000 for air conditioning upgrades.

The approved interest and sinking tax (I&S) rate was set at $0.19 per $100 valuation and the maintenance and operations (M&O) tax rate was set at $1.04005 per $100 valuation for a total tax rate of $1.230050. Revenues are expected to be 82 percent local, 16 percent from the state and 2 percent federal.

Teachers and staff on average received a 3 percent pay raise. All teachers in a pay gap received various percentages to close the gap. Some closures of a gap increased teacher pay by as much as 7 percent. The approved budget also includes $180,000 for teacher retention and $50,000 more for tuition reimbursement for teachers.

Top priority budgeted expenditures include the hiring of a chief academic officer, $125,000 set aside for capital projects, expanded staff incentive program that include a $200 retention incentive, first and second semester atten-

AUTOMOBILE: Toyota RAV 4

By BARBARA FULENWIDER The Toyota RAV4 got the whole compact crossover segment started 20 years ago. It was a new kind of vehicle that people didn’t even know they wanted. But enough people wanted it to make the segment one of the largest today.

Now in its third season, the 2015 RAV4 has the qualities that keep it a perennial hit. Customers buy the sharp-edged styling and roomy, versatile five-seat cabin. The one-touch power liftgate with driverselectable memory height settings, standard on the Limited, is now optional for the XLE grade, which also got new 17inch superchrome alloy wheels for 2015.

The RAV4 is moved by a 4-cylinder engine mated to a standard 6-speed automatic transmission. Customers can choose between front wheel drive or all-wheel drive. There are three RAV 4 trim levels to choose from -- LE, XLE and Limited.

While it takes up smallish parking space, inside the RAV4 can seat five adults and has 38.4 cu. ft. of cargo capacity behind the rear seats. With the 60/40 split rear seats folded, that space expands to 73.4 cu. ft. Rear seat legroom is just over 3 feet.

The front seats have a slim seat back design to enhance rear-passenger knee room. The rear seatbacks recline several

degrees for added passenger comfort. Rear privacy glass is standard and retractable rear seat head restraints aid visibility.

Information for the driver is within easy reach in the RAV4.

Within the gauge cluster, directly in the driver’s line of sight, a standard Multi-Information Display (MID) provides average fuel economy, instant fuel economy, distance to empty, selected gear, as well as warnings for low fuel, battery, tire pressure monitoring system and more. A button on the right-hand spoke of the steering wheel toggles through the MID’s various screens. Other switches on the wheel control the audio system, Bluetooth hands-free phone and audio streaming.

Practicality meets fun with the RAV4’s 2.5-liter directinjection four-cylinder engine.

Coupled to a standard 6-speed automatic transmission, the engine delivers 176 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 172 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,100 rpm. With frontwheel drive, the RAV4 has EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings of 24 mpg city / 31 mpg highway. With all-wheel drive, the EPA estimates are 22/29 mpg.

When feeling sporty, choose the RAV 4’s Sport mode. It sharpens shift timing, throttle response, and steering feel. On RAV4s with all-wheel drive, Sport mode also reduces under-

The RAV4s all-wheel drive system enhances performance, handling and safety. When tackling off-pavement or driving in highly slippery conditions, pushing an AWD lock button fixes torque distribution at 50:50 at speeds up to about 25 mph to maximize grip. Above that, the system reverts to auto mode.

Essentially a second layer of computer logic in the Traction Control system, Auto LSD can be engaged at speeds below 25 mph to provide the function of a limited-slip differential The RAV4 LE comes standard with cruise control, backCONSTABLE’S NOTICE OF SALE Notice is hereby given, that by virtue of a certain Order of Sale issued by the clerk of the 434TH District Court of Fort Bend County, Texas on July 30, 2015 in cause numbered 13-DCV-207407 styled First Colony Community Association, Inc.. vs.

FILM: The Visit

OOKY Comes to Fort Bend Theatre

M. Night Shyamalan, the pride of India at age 45, wrote and directed this ďŹ lm and his handprints were all over it. He also directed “Sixth Senseâ€? in 1999 at age 29 and a few years later produced and directed “Signsâ€? starring Mel Gibson. There was a time in Hollywood when M. Night was believed to have the Spielberg touch and then he gave us “The Villageâ€? and “Lady in the Waterâ€? and who could forget “The Last Airbenderâ€? in 2010.

I don’t want to brag, but check out larryhmoviereviews.com and you will see that my choice for Worst Movie in 2010 was – “The Last Airbender.�

But time heals all wounds and the pickin’s were slim when it came time for me to choose my Friday afternoon movie so I took a chance on my old buddy M. Night Shyamalan. You are required to say his entire name each time; otherwise you are talking about someone named “M. Night.� And that ain’t right.

With that mixed bag of success, I entered Theatre 21 with a bit of a ‘tude. I got my usual popcorn, with butter, and Mr. Pibb, to further ensure that nothing would go wrong and that my deďŹ ance would shrink. Then the opening music and credits were disconcerting and peculiar and I thought “oh no, he’s going to blow it.â€?

Unexpectedly, the seemingly innocent story kicked in with a 34 year-old mother talking to the camera held by her 15 yearold daughter who was making a documentary of the trip that she and her brother were about to take. Mom had become estranged from her parents at age 19 and had no communication with them for the last 15 years. Those grandparents were now reaching out to their daughter’s two kids to have them visit for a week. The grandkids were eager to meet their grandparents, Award-Winning Fort Bend Theatre presents the outrageous but mom was hesitant.
