Site Based Council votes 4-2 to move ag to academic

After two efforts at consensus failed, the Adair County High School Site Based Council voted 4-2, with the Principal Troy Young, and Teachers Mike Godsey, Marsha Riddick, and Kevin Robertson voting to move the position to an academic area, and the two parent representatives, Melinda Franklin and Sandy Pyles, voting no.

Mr. Young will send the recommendation to the board of education, along with a recommendation that the board create an instructional aid to help the remaining two agriculture teachers.

Principal Young said that Superintendent Alan W. Reed had told him that he would ask the board to create the instructional position, but that final approval would be up to the board.



The turnout was as big, maybe as big or bigger, than Monday nights 600 + crowd.

Mr. Young commended the large crowd for being civil and polite during the meetings.

However, Mrs. Pyles said that even though she would be voting with the majority in the audience, she expressed dismay at some online statements about her. Mrs. Franklin did not speak.
