To kick off their regular monthly meeting at the administration building Monday night, Purcell’s Board of Education honored Academic All-Stater Paisley Nichols and her parents.

Board members also voted to change the policy on the naming of facilities. The change was to delete the requirement that a person be deceased for three years before a facility can be named after him or her.
