School board member Calvin Taylor initially planned to have a town hall alongside Supervisor Floyd Thomas to discuss future school capacity needs. However, that plan was scrapped and the school board decided to have its own town halls. Bowling Green Elementary and Lewis & Clark Elementary each face capacity concerns. Trailers were installed at BGE earlier this school year; the school division is pondering the same for Lewis & Clark.

- Budget work session
Get the memo
The supervisors held a public hearing on the FY27 budget on March 26 at Courtland High School. The board heard from many residents who expressed concern that rising tax rates could force them out of the county. The board voted to advertise a real estate tax rate of 77 cents per $100 of assessed value, which amounts to an eight-cent increase. The board will weigh residents’ concerns as well as the needs of the county’s various departments and the school division when making a final budget decision.
