Stephens BOE Sets Meeting Dates, Times

The Stephens County Board of Education sets its meeting schedule for 2016.

Tuesday, the Board of Education approved 2016 meeting dates and times.

Those regular school board meetings will remain on the third Tuesday of each month at 5:30 p.m., except for December 2016, which will be on the second Tuesday.

Meanwhile, the school board’s work sessions and called meetings will remain on the second Thursday of the month, or the Thursday prior to the Tuesday meeting, at 5:30 p.m.

Starting in 2016, the Stephens County Board of Education will be meeting in a new location as the school system moves its administrative offices to the old Big A Elementary School from the current location on Mize Road.

Last Thursday, Stephens County School Superintendent Bryan Dorsey updated the Board of Education on the status of the central office move.

Dorsey said it is going along well.

“We should have everything over by the week after Thanksgiving for the most part,” said Dorsey.

Dorsey went on to say that he is pleased with how the work on the old Big A School to convert it to central office space has gone.

“The custodial staff has done an excellent job of getting that facility ready,” said Dorsey. “Maintenance has been a big help. I think you will proud when you walk in there with how it looks.”

While the Stephens County Board of Education’s 2016 meetings will be at a new location, the school board’s meetings for December of this year will remain at the current location at the school system’s current administrative offices on Mize Road.
