The Casey County Board of Education met in regular session last night.

Superintendent Marion Sowders...

The Board also declared an emergency concerning wind damage to the roof of the gym at the Casey County High School. Damage is estimated at $126,000 which is covered by insurance with a $5,000 deductible.

The Board went into executive session for some time to consider the sale of a very small piece of property.  They returned to regular session and voted to sell .04 acres, to be appraised and sold at appraised value to Tip-Top Construction.

The Board will bid-out Drug Testing in the schools, which is currently done by Premiere.

And a new Vocational Principal has been hired. Jeremy Todd is currently an Assistant Principal in the Garrard County School System. He will begin duties in Casey County next week.
