Casey County School Board members heard Dec. 12 that the handling of the district’s finances — by district staff and faculty and staff from the five schools — is a model of excellence and one of the finest in the state.
Artie White, of White and Associates of Richmond, conducted the annual audit for the financial year which ended June 30.
White said there were no findings from the prior year which indicates that the district’s financial performance was faultless.

Casey County Board of Education members tabled an architect’s proposed estimate of $94,000 to $118,000 for a 500-square foot locker room addition at Casey County High School, based largely on design elements in the plan.
Russ McFarland, with the architect and engineering firm of Clotfelter Samokar in Lexington, presented the building estimate to board members at their regular meeting on Nov. 14.
However, the cost estimate from the architect is just that, an estimate. McFarland is available to assist the board with the bid process.

This year’s Growing Young Entrepreneurs competition was held on Sept. 15 at the Kentucky Tech Casey County ATC.
Students who were interested in starting their own business wrote a business plan and made a presentation to several local business leaders and educators.
Winners in the GYE presentation are Ryan Martin, first; Ali Thompson, second; and Logan Hooten, third.
Martin was awarded $500, a laptop, and a mentoring from a Kentucky Entrepreneurial Coaches Institute (KECI) coach.
