Exciting time for Adair Schools: New Elementary School 2011-10-19 - Adair County School District, 1204 Greensburg ST, Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener. Oh Happy Day: There wasn't a happier place in Columbia last night" than at the Adair County School Board meeting, where an otherwise brief agenda became one of the longest meetings as plans for a new elementary school to replace aging Col. Wm. Casey was becoming much more of a reality. Above, architect Mark Smith, talked about features of a school one in Laurel County; a design similar to this one is a possibility for Adair County. It was hard to tell who had the biggest smiles: Persevering while promoting progress CWC Principal Patty Jones, Mike Harris the almost a one issue build a new Col. Casey or else; Superintendent Darrell Treece; or enthusiastic newer board members Joseph Payne and Rebecca Turner. Board Chair Marsha Walker beamed like a valedictorian's proud mother; and thoughtful member Floyd Burton was satisfied as he questioned the Sherman-Carter-Barnhart representative about the necessary but meant to be unnoticed security. An editorial aside What a great prospect for the City of Columbia! Many of us see the new school as the biggest symbol of a progressive Columbia/Adair County possible. - LINDA WAGGENER Permalink | Comments?
