The Calhoun County Board of Education had a relatively short meeting Monday evening.
The board heard information about a report issued by the Higher Education Policy Commission that indicated a large number of high school graduates are being required to take college-entry remedial math and English.
A school board concern was raised over the status of the construction of the long-proposed Calhoun Middle School playground. The board was advised the location has been changed again, but there is movement to start the project with a volunteer work day being scheduled.
The playground equipment has reportedly been purchased using money from a Budget Digest grant.
Concerns were expressed over problems related to the processing of McKelvey Scholarships.
