BOE approves personnel items, coaches supplements

The Fayette County Board of Education approved several personnel items and the much-discussed coaching supplements during its Aug. 13 meeting. After spending considerable time during the past two weeks discussing the supplements of coaches within the county, the board sought an opinion from the Alabama Department of Examiners of Public Accounts concerning the matter. Prior to a vote on the supplements, the following note was read: “Per the Alabama Department of Examiners of Public Accounts, if for any reason a season is cancelled before it begins and the coach has completed preparations for the season (fieldwork, workouts, practices, etc.), the supplement should be prorated based on the work performed.”
