appoints Charles Henry to replace Pete HarrellGov. George Bush has reappointed Dr.
Leonard E. Lawrence of San Antonio as
chair of the Texas Youth Commission, and
has appointed Charles Henry of Pampa to
replace Pete Harrell.
TYC Executive Director Steve
Robinson said Dr. Lawrence's reappoint-
4'ment is an asset to TYC. "His perspective
as a child psychiatrist and his long involve-
ment with the agency make him an invalu-
able leader and advocate for TYC,"
Robinson said. "Dr. Lawrence's continued
leadership will be a huge benefit to the
voung offenders at our institutions," he said.ALL FOUR FORMER GIDDINGS State School superintendents, and current superinten-

groups in several cities."

board meeting on Nov. 20 in Austin, is a

No annual workshop for 1998
Due to Legislative constraints
which severely restrict our administra-
tive travel budget, we will be unable to
hold the annual agencywide workshop
in 1998, said Executive Director Steve
Robinson.
"This is an unfortunate develop-
ment, and I hope the workshop can be
resumed in the future when budgetary
constraints are not so limiting," he added.TYC JOURNAL
