During its Nov. 20 meeting, the Ohio County School Board approved a motion to field a competitive bass fishing team and accepted bids to replace the gym floor and lower level bleachers of the high school. — On the school board’s agenda for the night was the approval of bass fishing as a sport at the Ohio County High School. Schools Superintendent Scott Lewis said the SBDM council at the high school recommended the school board create the new sport. He also said there has been interest from students about the new sport. The Kentucky High School Athletic Association (KHSAA) has pushed schools to make bass fishing a sport to give students more competitive sports options. Lewis said the sport would be relatively low-cost for the school board. A coach has not been hired, but the school had someone in mind. Board member Dwight Raymond made a motion to approve a competitive bass fishing team for the high school. Board member John Conley seconded the motion. The motion passed by a 3-0 vote. — A few months ago, the school board advertised for bids, a second time, to replace the high school’s gym floor and bleachers. The bids came in and the board was ready to accept one for both the gym floor and bleacher replacement. In April, the school board advertised for bids to have the gym floor replaced in the summer of this year, but was disappointed with the lack of bidders and the price of bids received. The board rejected all bids and advertised for bids again, with the plan of replacing the gym floor and bleachers during the summer of 2015. Lewis told the board it received a bid of $108,000 from Martin Flooring, in Louisville, to replace the gym floor. In the summer, the board received a bid of $125,000 to replace the gym floor. Lewis recommended the board accept the bid. Dwight Raymond made a motion to accept the bid of $108,000 from Martin Flooring to replace the high school’s gym floor. Conley seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Next Lewis told the board it received a bid of $109,000 from Atlas Metals, in Paducah, to replace the lower level bleachers of the high school. While the board did not take bids for the bleacher replacement last summer, it received an estimate of around $140,000 for the job. Lewis recommended the board accept the bid. Conley made a motion to accept the bid of $109,000 from Atlas Metals for lower level bleacher replacement at the high school. Dwight Raymond seconded the motion. The motion passed by a 3-0. The lower level bleachers on the home team’s side will be replaced with chair back seats, while the lower level bleachers on the visitor team’s side will be replaced with bench seats. The upper level bleachers will not be replaced, but the Board of Education is looking into the option of repainting the plastic seat covers on the upper level bleachers. The new paint color would more closely match the school’s colors. Both the gym floor and bleachers are to be replaced during the schools’ 2015 summer break. — Board members Karen Boling and Jay Raymond were not present for the meeting. — During the September meeting of the Ohio County School Board, John Conley was sworn in as the Fourth District Board Member, replacing Matt Gilstrap. Gilstrap resigned from his position in April after he and his family moved to a different school district. Conley, recently retired from TVA, said the reason he applied for the open school board position was because he had the time and he wanted to help. "I had the time and actually, I couldn't come up with a good reason not to (apply for the school board seat)," Conley said. "I want to do all I can for the kids, as most folks do. It's a new experience, but I thought I'd give it a shot and do the best I can." Conley is originally from Daviess County, but his wife is an Ohio County native. He and his family moved to Fordsville in 2000. Conley's daughter, a freshman, attends Ohio County High School.
