Hazen School Board hires Marek, hosts Quizbowl

In

fanfare and no discussion, the Hazen School Board unanimously voted to accept Superintendent Andy Barrett’s recommendation to rehire Amy Marek as the Hazen High School principal at the board’s March 11, 2024 regular meeting. All of the board members were present. The highlight of the evening was a presentation by the junior high quiz bowl team and their sponsors Susan Booth and Stacey Bowman. The team, which competed in the state tournament, chal-

lenged the school board to a short quiz bowl game. Members of the team are Wesley Hare, Emmie Galvan, Xack George, Kadence Fegley, and Michael Bowman. Bowman scored the highest points at the state tournament and will participate in the state All-Star Game.

In other business, the board approved the district financial reports for February, 2024, and accepted a school calendar for the next school year. Two separate calendars were presented to the board, the first by the teachers and the second by the superintendent. Because the

district recently chose to go on a calendar based on classroom hours rather than the number of student days, the teacher representative Lauren King proposed to the board a calendar based on 1068 hours each year, which equals 171 student contact days. Superintendent Barrett proposed a different calendar which instead has 178 student contact days with snow days at the end of the year. Both calendars still have 190 contracted teacher days. “I think as a school district we should not do a minimum,” Barrett said. The board decided to choose

Barrett’s calendar, which is more traditional. King also told the board that, as requested, the Personnel Policies Committee will present a teacher dress code and professionalism recommendation at the next board meeting. Barrett reported that the elementary school’s state report card grade had gone up from a D to a C. The high school retained its C rating. The upcoming PTO fundraiser will help pay for testing incentives and annual Honor Banquet. Barrett is also waiting on the MUSCO contract

for the football field lights to arrive so that he can sign it. The elementary school has administered the state ATLAS writing assessment. The 4th graders have taken the national NAEP exam. The IStation celebration featured a visit by Miss Arkansas, who talked to the high scoring students. In personnel matters, the board voted to hire the teachers on a list provided by the superintendent. The next school board meeting will be announced at a later date.

Eagle Eyes archery team places 6th in state

The Des Arc Eagle Eye Archery Team placed 6th out of the top 30 teams in the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission’s Archery in the Schools State Championship, which was held on March 1-2, at the Hot Springs Convention Center and Bank OZK Arena. Fifth grader Noah Hudson individually placed 5th out of 354 middle school boys who participated. The team had an extraordinary season this year!

The Archery in the Schools program (formerly Arkansas National Archery in the Schools Program) began as a pilot project with 10 schools in 2005. Based on the National Archery in the Schools program, AIS brings competitive archery into elementary, middle and high schools throughout Arkansas, and a state championship event was added in 2009 to complete the year’s activities.

P rairie C ounty to update 911 system

The Prairie County Quorum Court voted to upgrade the county’s two 911 call centers. The present call system is 20 years old, according to Sheriff Rick Parson, and he notified the court that his department will be paying for half of the $70,000 upgrade with the state paying the other half. The Sheriff’s Department already has its $35,000 share for the project in its communication fund, and the

work will begin in 90120 days. The total amount must be paid before the project can begin, with the state reimbursing the county within a few days. “Ya’ll won’t ever have to worry about this again,” Parson said. Parson also said that the Sheriff’s Department has been leasing the 911 recording system, which also needs to be upgraded. The sheriff plans to (Continued on page 2.)

Each flight took about 50 minutes, with competitors shooting 15 arrows from 10 meters and 15 more from 15 meters, plus five warmup shots from each distance. Archery targets have 10 rings, each designating a score with a bull’s-eye being 10 points.

Those attending the Hazen School Board meeting were treated to a presentation by the Hazen Junior High School Quiz Bowl team.

Bison have rough week with 1 win , 3 l osses

By Mark Buffalo Sports Editor

The Bison lost to McCrory 8-1 on Monday, Des Arc 7-5 on Tuesday then beat Little Rock Episcopal 12-1 on Thursday then fell to Bartlett, Tenn., on Saturday.

In the loss to McCrory,

Holden Jones and Gavin Davis each had a hit. In the loss to Des Arc, the Bison trailed 6-0 after the fourth inning. The Bison tried to come back in the later innings, scoring four runs in the sixth and

one in the seven. Pickard scored two runs. Also scoring were Dalton Ward, Baylor Hauk and Cole Averitt. In the win over Episcopal, Jones was 3 for 3 with four runs scored. Davis scored three runs.

State Capitol Week in Review

From Senator Ronald Caldwell

LITTLE ROCK – A legislative committee voted to add $25.2 million to a revolving loan fund for safe drinking water projects.

The majority of the funds will be loans, but local water systems can apply to have the principle forgiven.

The state Division of Natural Resources brought the funding request to legislators on the Performance Evaluation and Expenditure Review Committee (PEER).

Legislators on the committee, especially those who represent rural areas, emphasized the need for the Natural Resources Division to extensively publicize the availability of the funds.

One senator said that the water systems that most need financial help are most likely to be the ones that are not aware of the availability of grants and loans.

Legislators asked for copies of the application form to share with water systems and small cities in their districts.

The Natural Resource Division uses a formula to determine whether or not a water system qualifies for forgiveness of the principle. Rates paid by customers are a factor, so that rates are held down as much as possible. The formula takes into account the

per capita income of ratepayers and a system is considered “rate burdened” if customers pay 1.5 percent of their income on water bills.

The action by PEER is the latest in a series of efforts to improve the infrastructure of water systems throughout Arkansas. Last month the Natural Resources Division announced that $42 million would become available for water systems serving 22,000 people.

In other action PEER recommended approval of $1.7 million for the state Workforce Services Division to strengthen its fraud prevention team.

The money will pay for extra staff and enhanced training with new technology that more quickly identifies fraudulent claims for unemployment insurance benefits.

Prison inmates have filed for benefits. Also, some people fraudulently file claims in numerous states. Others file for unemployment even though they are working.

According to Division officials, Arkansas is in the top ten nationwide in holding down improper payments for fraudulent claims.

PEER also approved a request from the Department of Human Services for $2.9 million

so that the state can join a national program to provide lunches for disadvantaged children during the summer. The children qualify for free or reduced priced meals during the school year, but those meals are not available in summer months.

The federal government will provide matching funds. A spokesman for the Human Services Department estimated that 373,000 Arkansas children would be eligible for the lunch program.

In other action, PEER recommended allowing the state Health Department to use about $8.1 million to update the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program so that recipients can interact online.

The upgrades will allow recipients to digitally schedule appointments online and to fill out forms that now are on paper.

A new option will allow participants to “chat” electronically and ask questions online. After the upgrades are in place, the system will have an online shopping platform to allow WIC participants to shop online for groceries.

W arren p ro m ote d to c oa c h L a dy Bison

The Carlisle School District didn’t have to look long or far for it’s new girls basketball coach.

Junior Lady Bison basketball coach Kylie Warren was promoted to replace Jonathan Buffalo, who resigned to concentrate on his new duties as Dean of Students at Carlisle High School. Warren coached her team to a district championship in her first year at her alma mater.

Warren is one of the most decorated players in school history, leading the Lady Bison to two second-round Class 2A state tournament finishes while being selected all-state four times. She played five seasons at Southern Arkansas University.

“It’s an incredible honor to have the opportunity to coach at my alma mater and follow in the footsteps of my mentor [Buffalo],”

Warren said. “I’m excited to bring my passion for basketball to the team and continue the tradition of excellence.”

The Lady Bison currently have a 13-year streak of playing in the regional tournament.

“I plan to keep the tradition of postseason play alive,” Warren said. “In order to do this, we need to focus on our own identity and how we play the game, teamwork and determination. We’ll need to work hard in practice, stay disciplined during games and practices and adapt to any challenges that come our way.”

Warren said when she was in college, she never imagined she’d be coaching at Carlisle.

“I”m grateful for the tournament that has led me here,” she said. “I’m excited to give back to the school and community that helped shape me as a player and a person.”

With the junior high season as successful as it was, some of those

players will have a chance to contribute on the high school level next year. The experience gained during the junior high season has been invaluable in preparing me for this chance,” she said. “It taught me valuable lessons about coaching, leadership and the game of basketball that I’ll carry with me into this new role.

“The success of our junior high squad definitely set a positive founding for our players as they transition to senior high. It instills confidence, teamwork and a winning mentality that will serve them as they strive for success at the next level.”

For Warren, she’s just excited for this opportunity.

“I’m excited to embark on this journey and make a positive impact on the lives of the players and the basketball program as a whole,” she said.

The Carlisle School

Board met March 11 and hired Megan Aukes as the 2024-25 High School Principal. She fills the vacancy made when B. J. Greene was hired as School Superintendent. Wes Rowland was re-hired as Elementary Principal.

Several resignations were accepted including Jonathan Buffalo as Head Coach for Senior High Girls Basketball and Assistant Junior High Girls. Buffalo has coached at Carlisle for 13 years. He was hired as Dean of Students for the 2024-25 school year. Kylie Warren was hired as Head Coach for Senior and Junior High Girls.

Other resignations effective at the end of the school year include LeAnne Measles as school nurse, Savannah Strobel, Elementary Special Education and Bill Ricks as bus driver.

Contracts were renewed for Educational Examiner Lawana Hooper, Executive Services, Inc., cleaning contract; Allied Therapy and Consulting Services and Wilson Property Maintenance. In keeping with the Learns Law, the Superintendent must submit to the Board for approval his performance targets. They are as follows:

1. Student achievement for every school A. Elementary –Improvement in the State Accountability Score within the next years (60.98) (D)

B. High SchoolImprovement in the State Accountability Score within the next three years (63.72) (C)

2. Based on the District’s 2022 Report Card, the present 4-year graduation rate at the high school is 95%. The state average is 88.5%. The superintendent’s

performance goal is to maintain a 92% or above as reflected in the next Report Card.

3. Based on the District’s 2022 Report Card, the percentage of the district students who tested In Need of Support on the ACT Aspire reading was 38.33%. The superintendent is given the performance target to decrease the percentage of district students who test In Need of Support on the ACT Aspire by 3% over the next 3 year period as reflected in the school Report Card from July 1, 2024.

Understanding that there is a change in the statewide assessment in the 2023-2024 school year, district scores could be reflected differently. Upon receiving these scores, the Board has the right to review the terms of the goal.

Whitney Jones was the only Board member absent.

purchase a new recording system for $16,000.

“We will actually own it,” Parson said. The department will pay a $3000 service agreement each year to maintain the equipment. Both of these projects are already in the 2024 county budget. The Starlink emergency system, which is a hosted call handling program through AT&T and the state of Arkansas has already been installed and costs his department $120 per month according to Parson. Deputy Prosecutor Abram Skarda also addressed the court in support of the Sheriff’s Department, asking the county to pay for the transfer of one of its prisoners to a state hospital. The prisoner is from another state and was arrested, convicted, and incarcerated in the Prairie County jail for actions here. Skarda stated that the man is a danger to himself and others, and caused a lot of damage at the jail.

Although he is a veter-

an, the Veterans Administration Hospital will not take him. The court agreed to the transfer, which will cost the county $60 a day until some other arrangements can be made. The court will need to pass an ordinance at its next meeting in order to spend the money.

The court tabled a motion to amend the Prairie County 2023 Annual Budget Ordinance to correct an error that was pointed out to County Clerk Gaylon Hale by the state auditor and needs to be addressed.

American Rescue Plan money was transferred out of the ARP account to cover payroll expenses which didn’t appear on the 2023 budget.

The court did, however, pass an ordinance to allow the county to contract with Caterpillar Finance to lease/purchase a backhoe loader for $126,797 and an excavator machine for $129,119. The amount of the payments will be

$3,837 per month. The lease of two backhoes has expired, and the county has the contractual obligation to either purchase the equipment or return it.

The court also passed an ordinance sponsored by Justice Rick Stallings that specifies how proposed departmental budgets will be submitted for the next fiscal year. If the official responsible for submitting a budget fails to meet the deadlines set, the budget set for this year will be used for the next year with no additions considered by the court.

A new county general sub-fund was created for the school resource officer. The money for the fund was taken out of the tribal fund, but County Treasurer Tamara Dabney was asked by Budget Chair Rick Stallings to move the money back into the county general fund, which she agreed to do. An ordinance will need to be passed next month to do this.
