Meade County Messenger

At a specially-called session of the Meade County Planning and Zoning Commission Dec. 16, Director Tony Coletta read aloud a letter from Judge Executive Harry Craycroft that dismissed Reese James Wardrip from the commission. The letter cited KS 100.157 and attendance at under 50 percent of scheduled meetings as the reason for the dismissal.
In other business, the commission:

Voted unanimously to recommend the approval for the rezoning of a property at 1119 Willetts Bottom Road in Battletown from A-1 to A-2. The purpose is so that the owner could divide the property into two lots to accomodate her son, so that he could provide assistance to her.
Voted to initiate the rezoning process for two parcels of land on U.S. 60. Trading Post Home Sales and Granny’s Treasure Chest operate there now in nonconforming use because they were not initially zoned properly by Meade County.

The Battletown Elementary Student Technology Leadership Program (STLP) has been working on a project this school year called, “Until They Come Home.” Students are trying to remind everyone to remember our soldiers who are serving our country each and every day, and are away from their family and friends. Students have earned almost $800 by selling Red Shirt Friday T-shirts. The money was used to buy items to send to soldiers. Students packed 14 boxes containing personal hygiene items, andy, snacks, and a variety of games. Showing off their collection of materials are, left to right: Hannah Miller, Cayla Prather, Michelle Arnold, Emi White, Kayla Parcell, Koby White, Mrs. Cox, Chelsea Jones, Isaac Singleton, Bobby Cundiff and Ryan Downs.

The inital steps were taken by the Meade County Public Schools Board of Education for a revision of their four-year facility plan.

Meade County schools cancellations
and delays

Every attempt is made to maintain the operation of the Meade County School System on regular schedule. However, as our buses travel 5,000 miles a day, road conditions in various parts of the county may differ widely. In case of inclement weather, district personnel follow established procedures before making the decision to delay or cancel school.
