An incident involving the recent report of fuel missing from the school district garage was not addressed during Thursday night's meeting of the Calloway County Board of Education. However following the meeting and executive session involving personnel, District Superintendent Steve Hoskins said the incident was an internal, private issue and administrative action had been taken.
He said the situation was addresssed a few weeks ago and the district was moving on with its new school year.
He added that only the superintendent and board attorney fall under the board and employees come under the superintendent's discretion.
“As always, personnel concerns are held private,” explained David Dowdy, public relations coordinator for the district.
Earlier this week, Hoskins said the incident was “misconduct of a few gallons of gasoline.”
In other business, the board agreed to lower its tax rates for the 2008-09 school year. According to Hoskins, the current rate of 37.8 cents per $100 accessed value on real property will be dropped to 37.6 cents. The tangible rate will remain the same at 39.9 cents, the motor vehicle rate will remain at 52.1 cents, and the utility rate will remain the same at 3.0 percent.
Hoskins pointed out that the motor vehicle and utility rates have been the same for several years.
