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

Liberty Elementary School had the best attendance not only for the month but also for the year.

The board heard some construction updates including some issues with asbestos. The board voted to have that safely removed at a cost of $9800.

The board approved $1,500 in travel expenses to support the Casey County High School fishing team. Two members have qualified to travel to national competition.

Superintendent Barry Lee participated in the meeting virtually and gave some comments on policy changes for the school system as mandated by recent legislation.

In connection to Senate Bill 5 "Harmful to Minors", parents will receive a two week notice regarding any content of a sexual nature in the upcoming curriculum. Parents can submit a written complaint to the school, and also may appeal any decisions to the Board of Education.
