The Martin County Taxpayers Association has been involved in discussion with the school district, insurance providers, and union representatives attempting to find savings in insurance premiums. By increasing deductibles for employees and other out-of-pocket expenses, the district may be able to save as much as $500,000 next year. We are continuing to explore new savings. The school district has hired a new Transportation Director, H. Conway McGee, who plans to computerize the routing and maintenance schedules of the 85 buses being utilized within the county. This plus other cost-saving ideas, could result in a substantial savings in the transportation department. We have enjoyed working with Noah Powers over the past two years and wish him well in his new position. Martin County Taxpayers Association volunteers serve on the committee which screened and interviewed new applicants for the Executive Director of Operational Services position. We believe this appointment has a very direct and vital impact on the daily operation of the district and, in our opinion, this position requires strong leadership qualities. Volunteers are always wanted and welcome into this Association!
