Lawrence first met Katsuko when he was in the U.S. Army in Japan. He served, was discharged, and went back to college in Kansas. He missed Kitty greatly and so enlisted in the U.S. Navy with the condition that he would be sent to a naval base close to Sasebo, Japan. They complied; he returned to Japan, married Katsuko, served and was discharged. In the early 1950s the immigration quotas from Japan were Mrs. Katsuko “Kitty" and Mr. Lawrence filled, but a congressman Larry knew from his Kansas district sponsored a “Larry" Huntley bill that gave Katsuko Nakahara Huntley her entry into the U.S. in 1952. During her last years, Kitty received help from Dr. James E. Nymann and his wife Carol, the executor of Mrs. Huntley’s will. Carol had power-of-attorney for Kitty and took care of her personal, medical and financial affairs from 2005 until her death in 2015.

  • School Performance Review El Paso Letter of Transmittal 1999
    LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL March 29, 1999 The Honorable George W. Bush The Honorable Rick Perry The Honorable James E. "Pete" Laney Members of the Texas Legislature Commissioner Michael A. Moses, Ed.D. Ladies and Gentlemen: I am pleased to present our performance review of the El Paso Independent School District (EPISD). This review, requested by EPISD's superintendent and endorsed by Senator Eliot Shapleigh, is intended to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the district's operations by identifying problem areas and recommending innovative improvements. To aid in this task, the Comptroller's office contracted with Empirical Management Services, a Houston-based consulting firm. We have made a number of recommendations to improve EPISD's efficiency, but we also found a number of "best practices" in district operations. This report highlights several model programs and services provided by EPISD's administrators, teachers, and staff. Our primary goal is to help EPISD hold the line on costs, streamline operations, and improve services to ensure that every possible tax dollar is spent in the classroom teaching the district's children. This report outlines 142 detailed recommendations that could save EPISD $27.9 million over the next five years, while reinvesting $14.9 million to improve educational services and other operations. We are grateful for the cooperation of EPISD's administrators and employees, and we commend them and the community for their dedication to improving the educational opportunities offered to the children of El Paso. Sincerely, Carole Keeton Rylander Comptroller of Public Accounts Executive Summary In September 1998, the Comptroller's office conducted a performance review of the El Paso Independent School District (EPISD) at the request of the superintendent.

    THE RADIO BOOK ReThink Media’s guide to the public affairs programs you need to know 2016 Edition The Radio Book ReThink Media’s guide to the public affairs programs you need to know 2016 - First Edition The research for this book was undertaken by ReThink Media staff, fellows, and interns between 2013 and 2015. Although we made every effort to speak directly with a producer of each show we list, we were not always successful. The “Features” tags included with many entries are complete to the best of our abilities—but some shows lack them when we could not be sure of a feature. Similarly, pitching intel is available for shows with which we were able to make contact. We would like to acknowledge Alyssa Goard, Katherine O’Brien, Daniel Steiner, and Lisa Bergstrom, who each had a big hand in bringing this project to completion.

  • Employee Handbook, Which Provides Important Information on Employee and Employment Issues for All District Staff
    OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT Dear employee, Welcome to another exceptional year at the Ysleta Independent School Dis- trict! As an employee, you play an integral role in helping The District of Champions provide a comprehensive, rigorous, and modern educational pro- gram that prepares students for college and career success. To maintain our tradition as one of the leading employers in El Paso, it is es- sential for Ysleta ISD to provide a healthy and productive work environment for all employees. As a result, it is our pleasure to present you with the 2020- 2021 Ysleta ISD Employee Handbook, which provides important information on employee and employment issues for all district staff. It is designed so you can easily reference a variety of topics, including employee conduct, general procedures, leaves and absences, compensation, and benefits, among others. The 2020-2021 school year marks an unprecedented time at The District, where – for the first time in our 105-year history – we have adopted a year- round calendar. We are confident the year-round calendar will better serve our students, families, faculty, and staff, while empowering us to maintain a quality educational program and workplace that can be easily adapted for emergent situations. In addition, our bond program continues to proceed smoothly at all seven Ysleta ISD Learning Communities, providing millions of dollars for much -needed upgrades, renovations, and new construction to our facilities. Ysleta ISD is committed to ensuring all employees are performing to the best of their abilities – to that end, this handbook outlines The District’s expecta- tions, as well as employees’ rights and responsibilities.
