Daily News for Thursday, February 24, 2022
Adair Co. Schools announces new COVID-19 procedures From Dr. Pamela A. Stephens, Superintendent Adair County Board of Education Adair County Schools will always strive to provide the safest and best learning experience to each of our students. In hopes of keeping students in classes, we have decided to make some changes to help ensure students can stay in school.

We monitor CDC guidelines and will continue to monitor them as we move forward. The major change will be starting February 28, 2022: Adair County Schools will no longer be quarantining students based on close contact during the school day or school activity.

KY Secretary of State: Voter rolls purge in progress By Michon Lindstrom Frankfort, KY - Kentucky Secretary of State Michael Adams asks registered voters to check their mailboxes for postcards sent by the State Board of Elections this week. As required by federal and state law, election officials are issuing correspondence to the nearly 400,000 voters on the state's inactive voter list, to verify voters' information and to facilitate the removal process for registered voters who have moved out-of-state. "We've diligently removed over 100,000 dead voters from our rolls; now we're addressing live voters who have moved," said Adams. "These postcards help us identify voters who moved out-of-state but did not de-register. If you receive a postcard, please respond promptly." Since 2018, prior to Secretary Adams' term of office, Kentucky has been under a federal court consent decree requiring it to conduct regular voter registration list maintenance practices, including the issuance of correspondence to the inactive voter list. 2022-02-24 13:39:22 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Politics

Gov Beshear: Sales tax cut needed to combat higher prices By Gov. Andy Beshear Kentucky's economy is on fire, with record-breaking investments and job creation across the commonwealth, and we have the best budget outlook in 25 years. We see our destiny as leaders rapidly approaching, with more opportunities than ever before for our families and our children. But as we work to fully realize our potential, Kentucky families and small businesses are faced with having to pay more for daily essentials, as well as goods and services. While this challenge is temporary, inflation has reached a 40-year high - directly due to the effects of a once-in-100-years pandemic that has stretched on for nearly two years. It is tougher for our families to get by, and it threatens our small businesses if people can't afford to buy what they're selling. So recently, I announced immediate relief on vehicle property taxes and proposed a temporary 1% drop in our state sales tax. Under my proposals, Kentuckians would see tax relief of approximately $1.2 billion - $873 million directly related to sales tax savings and $340 million from the reduction in vehicle property taxes.
