Education

The Carroll County Board of Education heard more information about restructuring the student population at three schools to accommodate all day Head Start.

Carroll County Assistant Superintendent Doug Oak said he has met with administration, staff and cafeteria staff about the issue of changing student attendance patterns, which means what students would be at what schools.

Oak said he has challenged everyone to think globally and the response has been positive.

Cartmell Elementary Veterans Day assembly was held on Nov. 10. The assembly started with the Carroll County Honor Guard presenting the flags as Zachary Dean sang the National Anthem. Following the anthem the students said the pledge of allegiance.

The guest speaker was Keith Dukes, father of Kaiden Dukes. He was an Aerographer’s mate in the U.S. Navy, and he put together a speech about his experience.
