CHEF CHALLENGE TO RETURN FOR SECOND YEAR

On Leap Day, Chef Colin Bedford gazed at a table full of ingredients ranging from canned cling peaches and whole grain pasta, to local sweet potatoes and fresh spinach in efforts to plan a delicious, healthy meal. He was not designing a menu for his Chatham County restaurant, The Fearrington House, but a new lunch menu for the more than 8000 youth of Chatham County Public Schools.

Subject: CCS budget reduction suggestions

Mr. Logan sent out the list below of 40 suggestions to reduce the CCS 2012-2013 budget deficit. These were suggested by the district’s senior leadership team, the Budget Advisory Committee, and the Chatham County Association of Educators.  These suggestions will be shared with the board of education at the meeting Monday, March 5.

The CCS staff will estimate the savings from these suggestions this week and present the numbers to the budget advisory committee at the Thursday, March 8, meeting.  The suggestions will then be used to develop scenarios for the BOE to discuss on Monday, March 12.

Subject: Margaret Pollard

I have a student in my AP English Language and Composition class who is writing a research paper about Margaret Pollard. The topic is how an elected official has shown courage through a political act.

This student would like to speak with anyone who has worked closely with Ms. Pollard or a family member who can provide insight into this topic. She will need the information by the end of next week (10/13). Please email me directly and I will get you in touch with this student. Thank you for your help.

Subject: Rabies Vaccination

On Monday 6/20/11 a Chatham Co. resident came out to find a dead fox in her horse’s paddock.  The fox had bit her horse and the horse had kicked and killed the fox.  The fox tested positive for rabies.  Thankfully her horse had been vaccinated, but was given a booster as protocol.   In April we killed a rabid skunk on my neighbor’s property in Silk Hope.
