Adair Board of Education Special Called Meeting September 1, 2005: Tax rates set
Adair Elementary construction on Schedule, Mr. Treece reports after meeting adjourns 09/03/2005: Update to RateAdairSchools link, below The Adair County Board of Education approved a tax rate which is projected to provide $172,162.00 in additional General Fund revenue for the system, and a Building Fund tax is expected to produce $288,848 more for renovations and new construction. The action took place at the Special Called Meeting, Thursday, September 1, 2006, at 7:00 p.m., held at the district's board room. The meeting was also advertised as a public hearing, but no one was present from the citizenry who registered to speak to the subject. The vote for approval of the tax rate was 3-1, with Chairman Mike Harris (District 5) and Members Marsha Walker (District 2) and Floyd Burton (District 4) voting for the measure, and Vice Chairman Greg Willis (District 1) voting no. Member Chris Watts (District 3) was absent because of a prior commitment. The rates set for the General Fund are as follows:
Building fund tax levy set at 5.9 cents The hearing notice for the meeting noted that the new building fund tax rate of 5.9 cents is expected to produce five-cent equivalent tax revenue of $288,848. This money will be spent for renovations on buildings and new construction projections. The tax was authorized by the Kentucky General Assembly in the 2004-06 Biennial Budget. Local district to receive $53,600 more for instruction at Youth Development Center The Board approved a revised memorandum of agreement with the Kentucky Educational Collaborative for State Agency for Children (KECSAC) which increased the amount the local district will get for providing instruction at the Adair Youth Development Center by $53,600. The board was to have been reimbursed $160,800 in KECSAC funds for the 2005-2006 school year, but under the new memorandum of agreement will receive $214,400. The local school district provides instruction for residents of the institution in Grades 5-12. The school administrator is Sue McQueary, of the Adair County School District. Norm Townsel is the program administrator at the Adair County Youth Development Center. Adair County is one of 58 school districts in the state which receives KENSAC funds, according to the KENSAC web site. KENSAC's headquarters are at Eastern Kentucky University, Richmond, KY. Sammy Taylor, Grants Writer for the local board, and Mr. Treece had met with KENSAC for a bit over one hour, Mr. Taylor said, to obtain the increase. Mr. Taylor noted that the local district also gets the same Average Daily Attendance (ADA) funds from the state for the Adair Youth Development Center instructional program. Mr. Taylor is also the contact for the program. The 4-0 vote to approve the revised memorandum of agreement came on a motion by Vice Chairman Greg Willis, seconded by Member Floyd Burton, with Chairman Mike Harris and Member Marsha Walker concurring. New Special Education position created for Knifley Grade Center On a motion by Board Member Floyd Burton, seconded by Vice Chairman Greg Willis, the Adair County Board of Education approved a recommendation by Superintendent Darrell Treece to create Special Education instructor position at Knifley. Mr. Burton and Mr. Willis were joined by Member Marsha Walker and Chairman Mike Harris in approving the motion 4-0. Member Chris Watts was absent because of a prior commitment, Mr. Treece reported. The new position may be part time and restricted to Knifley, or it may be full time, if a full time position is necessary to employ the right instructor. The measure also allows the Superintendent the latitude to hire the new instructor on the condition that she or he be informed that teaching in another capacity for the balance of a full time position may be required. "We're short one-half an instructor at the high school," he said. Also present Also present at the meeting were Renae Smith, Finance Officer; and members of the media.
