The Adair – Casey and Guthrie Center School Boards met in regular session Wednesday night.

The AC Board met first, and started with their organizational meeting to prepare for the new calendar year. Blair Carney was named Board President, with Justin Crawford named Vice President. In their regular session, the Board approved School Budget Review Committee modified allowable growth for increasing enrollment, open enrollment out and English Language Learners beyond five years. They also approved an agreement to retain Ahlers and Cooney in the case of reorganization talks, as the legal counsel represents the Heartland Area Education Agency, AC Board and GC Board, and approved a substitute teacher finder.

The GC Board met later in the night for their organizational meeting, reappointing Matt Van Meter as Board President, and naming Cara Underwood as Board Vice President. In the regular session, the Board approved the 2022-23 audit report, SBRC modified allowable growth for open enrollment out, and the same organization with Ahlers and Cooney as the AC Board. The GC Board then approved use of funds for a door access control system for both the high school and elementary buildings, along with a substitute teacher finder.
