Handbooks approved
    The board approved three handbooks to be used in 2008-09. The elementary student handbook, the middle school student and teacher handbook and the bus driver and coaches handbook were all accepted by the board.
Locker donation
    The board agreed to a request from the Chickasaw County Sheriff’s Office for donation of some old lockers to be used to house evidence held by the sheriff’s department. The school is in the process of replacing the high school student lockers and have offered the old lockers for sale. Since the school and sheriff’s office are both government entities, the donation can be completed without charge.
