The Odin School Board at its meeting Thursday night voted to set its tax levy increase at 4.99 percent over what was collected this year.   Staying under a five percent increase will avoid a Truth in Taxation hearing.

The board approved a $19,000 contract with J.C. Construction of Odin to replace 11 interior and exterior doors.  The improvements will be paid for through the Stronger Connections grant.

The board has set a second interview with Assistant Superintendent Quinton Marcum at a special board meeting on January 7th.   A decision on a new superintendent could come at the regular January board meeting.

The board approved the resignation of Ranayie Timmons as school nurse.  She will remain a CNA teacher.  The board also approved the resignation of Erin Telford as a paraprofessional.  She will be replaced by Amber Roldan.

The board approved a state-required Cardiac Response Plan that will require staff to know the locations of AEDs and how to use them.
