Staffing guidelines: Veronica (presenter) said there were no substantive changes from the previous year; the guidelines articulate how the district allocates certified and classified full‑time equivalents and how allocations would be handled if enrollment changed after the March 1 allocation. A board member moved approval and another seconded; the motion passed on a voice vote.

Spectrum Enterprise service agreement: District staff said the Highlands Athletic Complex construction did not include a data connection to central IT, so the district issued an RFP and received two responses. After review, staff recommended awarding a contract to Spectrum Enterprise. The proposed agreement is a five‑year contract with up to five additional one‑year extensions by mutual agreement; staff said the service will provide infrastructure for security cameras, internal and spectator Wi‑Fi and data transmission for video feeds. A motion to authorize the superintendent to enter into the agreement passed by voice vote.

Morrell Construction pay application: The board considered pay application number 7 from Morrell Construction in the amount of $858,616.20 for the Highlands Athletic Complex at Tower Park. A motion to approve the pay application passed by voice vote.

Consent agenda: The board approved the consent agenda by voice vote following the presented items.

Project representatives said foundations for buildings and the grandstand have been poured and that contractors have used milder periods to catch up. Staff cautioned the board that additional severe snow followed by extended cold could affect schedule, but with typical spring weather they expect fields and portions of the facility to be available for fall soccer activities. The update said some accommodations to scheduling and off‑site training may be necessary while finishing work continues.

Board members heard that the district has made separate arrangements for track and field training and events while parts of the complex are completed. The project manager noted the contractor, Royal Construction (general contractor for the project), is working to minimize schedule impacts and that recent progress had reduced concerns about a major delay.

During the verbal update staff announced a forthcoming pay application from Morrell Construction; the formal pay application (pay application number 7) and its approval were addressed under the meeting’s action items.","Project representatives said foundation work continued through winter weather and the district expects portions of the Highlands Athletic Complex at Tower Park to be usable by fall for soccer, though some areas may require accommodations; a pay application was presented for board consideration.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6316205,"Middle school mentors describe Girl Power club that serves roughly 60 sixth‑graders",225,452000,677000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2377370-7151cb60cb9d226a3a181e6095d4dcec&start=452&end=677","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2377370-7151cb60cb9d226a3a181e6095d4dcec/thumbnail_452000.jpg","/articles/6316205/Kentucky/Middle-school-mentors-describe-Girl-Power-club-that-serves-roughly-60-sixthgraders","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6316205-a78a7374e803dc864e33d72d9fc16442/orig.mp4?Expires=1775135095&Signature=G00tJohoFoGMT5q6xKmd4qatVH3D-IGpJEHpW86GeNGvwljqkpXjus4XLIyW0gcS2AeSmE7yRVoPdsOYew--AOoUE7kQJTKCiWX1obkjS5lyUrrzCyoXxdFAFViAyp9m4pZsYc8d805AGxAaAMFUC56qRh0fx2KMAkARFQp5ylwltfijokUaSP2QlbP~Y1Orz3ia9jj5Ep7BAt6WdmdIzzAI3f5VkKBWHmdBIENjrDAYGUeduG5xWBx~P6DM4WY5bT2j7zc2mbFHfuvDDs~jBednc84zV~SylhTNUntSnEhWYOBt-BW64C47KsVb4S46muy0VFDSTmqmj7~0K-wPNg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Student mentors and staff presented an overview of Girl Power, an after‑school program for sixth‑grade girls that meets twice a month and pairs sixth‑grade participants with seventh‑ and eighth‑grade mentors.

Presenters said the club averages about 60 girls annually and works with the New Hope Center on its curriculum. Mentors listed session topics that include the “circle of control,” self‑esteem, gratitude, effective communication, healthy relationships, time management, setting boundaries, resilience and strategies for handling negative automatic thoughts (referred to in the presentation as “ants”).

Mentors described simple, reusable activities intended to teach coping skills: tabletop games that visualize negative thoughts, breathing and calming exercises using hand‑crafted props, and collaborative exercises that build teamwork. The mentors said they meet with staff during a flex period before meetings to review lessons, practice activities and reflect afterward on ways to increase engagement.

Board members complimented the students’ leadership. Board member Donnell said he appreciated the program and the life skills mentors are learning and passing on.

Organizers said the club has operated in its current format for about five years, and each year concludes with a themed celebration that staff described as a Hawaiian‑themed party with shaved ice. No formal board action was taken during the presentation.","Seventh- and eighth‑grade student mentors described the Girl Power after‑school program for sixth‑grade girls, which runs twice monthly, covers social‑emotional topics and averages about 60 participants per year.","actionData","errors"]
