In a recent government meeting, officials provided updates on significant developments, including the anticipated sale of a property known as A Avenue. Preliminary notifications from the county indicate that the sale, which was on the ballot during the July election, has passed. While official numbers are still pending, the county has expressed confidence in the outcome. The next steps involve coordination with legal representatives, with a 90-day window for processing payment following official notification.
Additionally, the meeting highlighted the recognition of Billy Watkins, a custodian at Paul Huber Middle School, who has been nominated for the Superintendent's Gem Award. Colleagues praised Watkins for his dedication to maintaining a clean environment and for his instrumental role in supporting the school's folklorico group. His efforts included transforming an abandoned classroom into a dedicated space for the group, which had previously struggled to find a stable location for practices. This recognition underscores the impact of staff contributions on the school community.
