Just prior to the regular school board meeting last Monday was a special meeting to approve the purchase and sale of another lot for the school construction course....Mr. Hatfield offered a "friendly amendment" to the resolution that would allow sale of the lot and house only if the price exceeded the purchase price---he pointed out that the school board is not in the position to be taking losses in the current budget situation.....Supr. Carvin replied that there was "educational benefit" in the house and that she would not prefer the language in the resolution. The friendly amendment was rejected.
So---Mr. Hatfield made the announcement of the theme for the coming year---it is not clear whether the board will struggle to toe the line. Immediately after the vote, it was revealed that the board had thought that the "Prom expenses" were paid for the by class funding drives---when in fact $1000 had been spent without board authorization.
It could be a long year.

Supr. Carvin what is the educational benefit of teaching students that someone else will pick up the slack for them if things don't work out in life. I have been disappointed with your reasoning skills in the past, and your stance on this timely issue further cements my disapproval of some of your positions. It is not all your money you are doling out, it is mine and many other cash strapped residents of the district. Why don't you go rag on prominent faces in the city of Evansville for not paying their taxes. The city has no problem doing business with people who do not support their local schools through paying property taxes, yet they have no problem giving them money. Good Day.
