Adair School Divisions have wide population variances

By Ed Waggener

At last the last school board meeting, Thursday, September 26, 2013, Director of Pupil Personnel Robbie Harmon reported figures he had obtained from Adair County Court Clerk Sheila Blair on the numbers of registered voters in each of the five divisions, listed below with current board member and in order of numbers represented:
  1. Division 4 - Floyd Burton - 3,018
  2. Division 5 - Mike Harris - 2,996
  3. Division 3 - Joseph Payne - 2,480
  4. Division 1 - Greg Willis - 2,245
  5. Division 2 - Quin Lasley - 2,073
If the 12,812 were divided equally, the number in each district would be 2,562. Division 3 best fits that number now.

The disparity between Floyd Burton's Division 1 with 3,018, and Quin Lasley's 2,073 is approximately 50%.

No action was taken on redistricting at the meeting. Mr. Harmon suggested delaying a decision until after the Adair County Fiscal Court takes action on redrawing Magisterial District maps.
