Editor’s note: The Obion County School System’s calendar for the 2008-09 school year was published in its entirety on the Education Page in the Feb. 6 edition of The Messenger following its approval two days earlier. It was recently brought to The Messenger’s attention, though, that the Union City School System’s calendar for the 2008-09 school year was never published following its approval earlier this year.
