With all Boardsters
present and none of em wearing a face mask, let's see now...
Jonalee Marks retired after 42 years of service
Leslie Goe bailed out as the Middle School Athletic Director
Alison Haverty resigned from her Clay Elem teacher job
Wesley Armes left his Middle School Head Coach for track and cross country
Matt Stricker will no longer be Asst Cross Country Coach at Clay High
Daniel Proctor was hired as a science teacher at Clay High pending certification
Clay Middle School will receive $6250 for band equipment repairs
Contractor for the Clay High Renovation will be 1Korin 3-10. Total: $6,258,000.00.
American Geotech was held to be the inspector for that same project.
Josselyn Kiser was hired for special needs students during the Summer
Kaitlyn Samples is a new 2nd grade teacher at Clay Elem. Get this, Ms Samples is a 2013 CHS graduate and is fully certified with two years experience under her belt. Being full certified and hired, that doesn't happen very often!
Jeremy Boggess is a new volunteer football coach at CCHS.
The School Board ain't none to happy with the contractor that brings in the free student meals to students each week. This week, they didn't even show up on time. Boardster Susan Bodkins commented on the quality of feed being handed out.

Each Summer, out of state church groups come to Clayberry and do renovation projects around the county. That ain't happening this year due to the Corona Beer Bug
With the COVD 19 bug in full force right here at home and with many parents concerned about their rug rats coming in contact with the virus when at school... Boardster Cheryl White asked about a number of parents planning to home school their yard apes. In reply, Joe Paxton, "That's a real possibility."
If weather cooperates and if any of the 2020 CHS graduates want to participate, Graduation will be held on the football field on July 23rd beginning at 7pm.
And now, for the most important edumacational element... Football! Sure sounds like, no matter what, there's going to be a football season this Fall. As for spectators, transporting teams to games, Paxton, "We hope... It's a fluid situation [right now]"
How about some good ole fashion and smart arss comments.
Corona Bug is real and growing in West Virginia as well as the rest of the Nation. Parents should have real concerns over reentry to schools and for that matter, concerns over the school bus rides. Don't forget cafeteria time and even walking the hallways between classes. Social distancing? Ain't going to happen in our opinion. What about forced wearing of face masks? Well that might work for the first day or so.
The State will come up with detailed "how to" guides. As with all state plans, it's the bottom last lines that make up the scape goat easy outs.
With that in mind, we think something like blah blah blah, you do it this way, blah blah blah, and then if none of those guidelines are possible, you just throw em all in a room with masks on (for a few minutes) and life returns to normal. Problem solved!
Well, the problem is solved for about 14 days until the first positive tests start showing up.
That part about bus riders sitting one per row of seating with the windows down. BS! As a matter of fact, many of our bus drivers are old farts and those employees aught to be gearing up their union to demand safety precautions for those oldsters.
We are fixing to go down a path we shouldn't go.
Here's our complete guesstimate on holding Fall classes. We will sacrifice high school students first. 9 thru 12 graders will be first to return to school. If after 14 days, there's not a mass outbreak of Corona, then Middle Schoolers will go for the next two weeks. If there's only a few dead kids laying around, then the Grade Schools will reopen.
As for actual class time, again, our guess.. half the high schoolers will attend classes on Mondays and Weds followed by the rest of em going on Tuesdays and Thursdays. In between actual hands on class time, they will do studies via non existent internet connections. It's going to be a cluster!
But most important, by gummies, we're going to play football this Fall.
Finally, the Pentagon cannot afford for more kids being home schooled. Each one bailing out of public edumacation, that's fewer dollars coming into their coffer. Cheryl White has concerns that a bunch of parents will keep the ankle biters at home. In the real world, that's going to happen. Not here in Clayberry where many of our students are labeled "homeless". In our situation, that mass of dead beat parents doesn't bother to even feed the wittle darlins.
The June 22nd public meeting lasted just 24 minutes.
