The Lowe Down

There is a detective story by Lemony Snicket called, “Who Could That Be at This Hour?” and in the book is a character called Dashiell Qwerty who is quoted as saying, “They say in every library there is a book that can answer the question that burns like a fire in the mind.” My immediate thought, “But what if that book is banned from your library?” Americans should be trusted to make their own decisions about what they and their children read.

School board accepts custodians’ resignations

The Corning School Board met in a special meeting Monday, January 22, 2024 at 5:00 p.m. in the board room with all members present. Resignations of Park Custodians Brooklynn Puckett, effective January 16, 2024 and Ronnie Jones, effective January 18, 2024 were approved. Next, the board selected CR Crawford Construction as the Construction Management Company for the upcoming new high school project. The board discussed possible dates for upcoming informative community meetings concerning the request for millage increase on the March ballot. There will be two meetings at Corning High School in February. Mrs. Woolard is scheduled to speak at the Corning Chamber of Commerce Luncheon on February 5. She will contact local mayors to see if they would like to host community meetings in their towns. Once the dates are finalized, Mrs. Woolard will publicize the dates and times in the Clay County Courier, through the school app, and social media sites. There being no further business, President Scobey adjourned the meeting.
