Supt. Reed outlines process for new school configuration Bold new step will save $500,000 a year, put all students in new or renovated schools, and rids county of ignominious distinction of having the No. 1 an No. 8 worst school buildings in the state By Alan W. Reed, Superintendent News from Adair County School District Good morning to all of you! As you are well aware, the Local Planning Committee met yesterday afternoon and voted unanimously to reduce the number of schools in our district from 5 to 4. It is estimated this move will save our cash-strapped district around five-hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) per year. In addition, this bold move by the LPC and Board of Education, puts all of our students in new or rebuilt schools and closes two buildings currently designated by the state as the number 1 and number 8 worst facilities in the Commonwealth - John Adair Intermediate and Colonel William Casey Elementary School. In short, we are taking control of our own destiny, instead of waiting for some government bailout or capital outlay (building) funds that are likely to be years out there, if at all. The actions of the LPC and the BOE are both fiscally and educationally sound. Taxpayers will also appreciate our efforts to streamline. I'd bet that many of you have often wondered why we hadn't considered this option in the first place. No doubt many of you have serious concerns about your own future. I want you to know that I am sensitive to those issues that affect your lives. With that said, here are our plans surrounding reconfiguration:
Finally, I want all of you to know that your hard work is highly valued and all that all personnel assignments will be based on what is in the "best" educational interests of our students, based on the best information I can gather. I will be communicating regularly with principals during this process so that they can quickly and honestly pass along any information, as I receive it. Sincerely, Alan W. Reed This story was posted on 2012-09-28 09:35:06
