Chandlers Resign GCISD
The Glasscock County ISD Board of Trustees accepted the resignations of both Kenneth and Kay Chandler at its meeting April 13. Kenneth has taught in the local school system for 28 years, and Kay has been the cafeteria manager for 17 years.
The board discussed how best to contact voters regarding the upcoming bond election, and decided to use a mail-out, which will go to all registered voters. They also want to encourage voters to arrange for tours of school facilities and to call board members with questions about the bond.
Board member Carl Hoelscher said again that he wants to look into the possibility of a grant for sewer work, and Superintendent Steve Long is to check into it.
Long said the school district could get approximately $75,000 from the federal stimulus package, and he will know in two to three weeks.
Darrell Hunt’s environmental science class gave a presentation showing plans for landscape work they would like to do to an outdoor area at the school. The classes’ price estimate was $2,000; board member Doug Jost suggested they look for better prices.
