Adair School Board approves school bus garage plan 2015-02-24 - 1204 Greensburg Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Gabe Jones, architect with Sherman-Barnhardt-Carter, Architects, present the schematic for the proposed Adair County School District Bus Garage. The drawing shows an option in the upper right hand corner for a new maintenance building, which would replace the present one at 350 Indian Drive, but the inclusion of that building at this time would exceed the District's present bonding capacity. "So," Supt. Alan Reed said," it is not likely at the time." Still he said, It will be part of the total plan forwarded to the Kentucky Department of Education Buildings and Grounds for approval. When the new Maintenance Building is constructed, the 350 building would be converted to house baseball after the present bus garage is torn down, Superintendent Reed said. The board voted unanimously to approve the Adair County Bus Garage. The photo was taken at the Mon 23 Feb 2015 Special Regular Meeting of the Adair County Board of Education.

Dean Robbie Harmon presents school calendar change options 2015-02-24 - 1204 Greensburg Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. The School Calendar and changes necessitated by snow days this winter - 9 including today - almost two full weeks of school, was addressed by Dean of Students Robbie Harmon, standing. The board adopted Mr. Harmon's Option 2, which leaves Spring Break as scheduled and projects June 2, 2015, as the last day for students, the following day as the last day for staff, switches Friday, March 20, 2015 from a Parent-Teacher Conference Day to a student attendance day, and reduces the number of instructional days from 172-170. State law mandates the school term close by June 30, 2015. Dean Harmon emphasized that the calendar will likely change if more weather related no school days are necessary. South Central Kentuckians usually face severe weather in tornado and spring flooding seasons. At right is School Board Member Mike Harris (Division 5).

He ran back to get me and surprisingly the eagle was still on the creek. We didn’t have our best camera but, we think these are a few cool shots!"

Scenic Adair County: Mt Tussell Rd. 11a Feb 22, 2015 2015-02-23 - Adair Co., KY - Photo by Alan Reed. Alan Reed writes, "I snapped this picture late [yesterday] morning as I checked roads. There will be no school in our district... Monday, February 23, 2015." (A note: For several years now CM has been asking the obvious question, "Where is Mt. Tussell. There's a Mt. Tussell Road, but no one has told us where Mt. Tussell is. The answer did not come in the administration of CJE Ann Melton and Magistrate Joe Rogers. Now we're hoping that CJE Mike Stephens or the new District 6 Magistrate Greg Caldwell will come up with the answer, or that some reliable historian can; and, if none can, a Mt. Tussell be officially designated. - CM) Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
