Supt. Reed issues statement on resignation of Rebecca Turner

Division 1 Board Member's resignation is immediate. State Board, State Commissioner of Education will name replacement

By Ed Waggener

A call to Superintendent Alan W. Reed about the status of the approval from Frankfort for the sweeping overall of Adair County Schools this morning revealed no new information except that the letter has been forwarded to the Kentucky Department of Education Division of Facilities and that word is expected in no more than a few days, with swift approval anticipated. Superintendent was asked about the status of Division I Adair County Board Member. He said that she had resigned and read the following statement:
"This morning I visited Ms. Rebecca Turner, Board member for Division I at her residence at 151 Bridgepointe Circle. At that time she handed her letter of resignation from the Adair County Board of Education pursuant to the following statutes: KRS 160.180, KRS 160.180(3), KRS 415.050, and KRS 415.060. The resignation is effectively immediately. Just moments ago (call at 10:49amCT, Friday, September 29, 2012 - CM) I contacted Kentucky Commissioner of Education Dr. Terry Holliday and forwarded a copy of the letter of resignation to him. A successor to Ms. Turner will be chosen by the Kentucky Department of Education and Commissioner Holliday. A public posting of procedures will be posted when I receive verification of receipt of my letter and instructions from Dr. Holliday."
Superintendent did not give a time frame for the replacement to be named, but said he expected, that the board would act as quickly as it responsibly can.


The remaining board members are Chairman Floyd Burton (Div. 4), and members Marsha Walker (Div. 2), Joseph Payne (Div 3), and Joseph Payne (Div 4). Only incumbent Joseph Payne is not up for re-election in the General Election, Tuesday, November 6, 2012. Mrs. Walker has two opponents on the ballot, Charles Miller and Quinna Lasley. A write in candidate, Rhonda Cox, has filed in opposition to Mr. Burton; and another write in candidate, Bill Steele, Jr., has filed in opposition to Mr. Harris.
