Cabell County Board of Education

031511-LAH-BOE
During the Cabell County Board of Education meeting Tuesday, the board discussed many cosmetical changes throughout the county.
Theresa Grant, daughter of former board member, Ted Barr, discussed the renaming of the board room after her father. Barr was the only president of the board to die while in office at the adjournment of a meeting. The Grant family will donate the signs for the room as well as items to go inside it.
Jerry Lake, Principal of Barbousville Middle School, suggested naming the football stadium James Allen and Tim Roberts Stadium instead of Allen Roberts Stadium.
The board suggested replacing the swings and adding new turf to the playground at Altizer Elementary School. Due to the flooding the turf has gone bad and the board decided with all of the Jamie Oliver campaigns last year it would be good to replace those items so the children can get fresh air and exercise. The motion to replace those items was passed.
Aside from those cosmetical changes, the Office of Education Performance Audits are looking into Central City Middle School and Huntington Middle School to see if things have improved with their test scores.
