By Barry H. Hendrix Special to The Times

The Thomasville Board of Education approved Tuesday the process to prepare a new contract for Superintendent Dr. Vic N. Adkison. Board members Kevin Smoker and Asa Charleston were appointed as a committee to review the contract and report back to the board.

Adkison has been the superintendent of the Thomasville system since June 2006.

In other action from Tuesday's meeting, the board approved an amendment to the fiscal 2008 budget with a $739,195 increase in budgeted revenue and expenditures due to grant funds and carryover, according to Linda McGhee, custodian of school funds. There is a total of $172,978 in federal carryover funds and $566,217 in grant funds.

The renovation will include the main building, the career tech wing, the locker rooms in the gymnasium and the cafeteria. Goodwin, Mills and Cawood of Montgomery have been chosen as the architects. The estimate for roof repair is already $200,000, he said.
