Quinn Lasley: The swing vote 2015-09-21 - 1204 Greensburg Street, Columbia, KY - Photo CM file photo from 2014. Quinn Lasley was seen as the swing vote in the Thursday night, regular meeting of the Adair County School Board. She had voiced an opinion of the Boards' policy on school allocations - special discretionary funds individual school administrators at one time were given to help with special classroom projects - and criticized the administration for not addressing the pupil supplies problem parents face at the beginning of each school year. She said she was troubled by both situations. Superintendent Reed thanked her for the suggestions and acknowledged that both ideas are do-able and would be addressed before the start of next school year. Mike Harris agreed with Ms. Lasley, and suggested that start of school pupil supplies should be purchased in bulk to get the lowest prices and distributed to all children. For a time, it was unclear how she would vote on extending the contract. On the final vote, she voted "No," but it appeared, to this observer to be a hesitant one. - EW Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Advanced training at Queens Land, Greater Bliss, KY 2015-09-21 - Queens Land Heeler Academy for Exceptional Dogs, Greater Bliss, KY - Photo by Jr. Stotts. Queensland Heeler Trainer Junior Stotts isn't ready to say LU is a candidate for Smartest Dog Ever in Adair County, but is very pleased with the progress she is making. Above in Fetch-and-Return, LU had half-mastered the art of retrieving a Tractor Supply Co. Frisbie Connie Stotts, almost in frame, left, brought home as present. LU, a born ham, has her eye on the camera, and is also awaiting the photographer's approval to return the Frisbie to Mrs. Stotts. Queensland Heeler's form a personal attachment with one person, with a sense of loyalty few humans possess. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Board member Terry Harvey most critical of Supt. Reed 2015-09-21 - 1204 Greensburg Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Terry Harvey, a very popular figure in his home Division 1, the southern most district in the Adair County public school system, is perhaps Superintendent Alan W. Reed's harshest critic. The two had a polite but firm exchange of differences at the September 17, 2015, regular session of the Adair County School Board. Harvey told Superintendent Reed that he had hurt the Ag Department when he reduced the number of Ag teachers in the system. Superintendent Reed reminded Mr. Harvey that he did not reduce the number of teachers from 3 to 2, and is forbidden by statute to do any such thing. The action to change the staffing was taken by the Adair County High School Site Based Decision Making Council. The exchange highlights a major misconception about who has the power. Kentucky law forbids the Superintendent and any member of the School Board to be involved in the hiring, being involved in hiring decisions, for the staffs at the schools. Real and very separate power is vested in the Site Based Decision Making Councils, who are as responsible for the direction of overall school policies as the school administration. Yet, surprisingly few have recognized this reality. Mr. Harvey is passionate in his position favoring Ag Education. The two differ somewhat on the approach. Mr. Harvey favors improvements in the Agriculture Department, but in a more traditional way. Superintendent Reed maintains that he has enhanced opportunities for students entering the field by giving them career paths which will make them more competitive in the agriculture field, pushing new vocational skills. And he is now emphasizing teaching Agri-Business and Plant and Animal Genetics courses. He says it is all about potential opportunities for the students to earn more over a lifetime. - EW Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
