V. Board Action Items
V.A. Consider Approval of a Special Election on September 12, 2017
Rationale

Statement by Board Chairman Chris Cook:

As this current seated Crittenden County Board of Education has listened to the concerns of our community, we have voiced our intent that the "Second Nickel" (as it is commonly referred to in Kentucky) for the purpose of the construction of a new high school and related existing high school renovations and middle school partial demolition and renovations of the remaining building would expire with the final payment on the bonds issued for this specific project.  More particularly, the intended expiration date of this "Second Nickel" would be after the 20th year of this specific "Second Nickel" being collected in Crittenden County.  This current seated Crittenden County Board of Education has been advised by legal counsel that such an intention cannot be legally binding on future seated Crittenden County Boards of Education.  Therefore, this current seated Crittenden County Board of Education is formally sharing its intentions with this statement and encouraging future seated Crittenden County Boards of Education to honor our formally state intention.
