November Jasper School Board Minutes

Jasper school board members this week approved Randy Chapman as a volunteer junior high boys basketball coach.

The Board also agreed to participate as a member of Jasper County Economic Development at $250 per year; and rescheduled high school graduation for 7pm Saturday, May 18 on the football field, weather permitting, with junior high promotion remaining on Thursday, May 16.

Board members approved the proposed tax levy for the coming fiscal year with an aggregate levy increase of 7.5% and a total levy increase of 6.94% with a public hearing on the levy at the Board's December meeting.

The Jasper Board also expelled three students from the district through May 30, 2013, but stayed the expulsions to allow the students to be placed on Principal's Probation so they could attend Safe School until they're reinstated.
