Board discussion noted difficulty in recruiting athletic trainers locally and that some surrounding districts use stipends or contracts with clinics to provide coverage. District staff reported outreach to neighboring districts showed mixed responses: some districts lack athletic trainers, some offer stipends to community medical professionals and others contract services through clinics.

A board member moved to increase the athletic trainer's pay to $50,000 a year and another board member seconded the motion. The chair and board member Braxton recorded aye votes on the motion; the motion passed on the record.

Board members characterized the current trainer as high-performing and said paying competitively would help retain the position. The motion calculated the raise as approximately $5,800 annually (from roughly $44,179 to $50,000), which board members noted equates to about $500 extra per month.

The board did not attach additional funding source details to the motion on the record; the item will appear in future payroll/budget documentation for implementation.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","July 15, 2025 Board meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The McCreary County Board of Education voted to increase the district athletic trainer's salary from the current schedule rate (about $44,179 annually) to $50,000 per year to help retain the position.","taxTitle","McCreary County, School Boards, Kentucky","taxId",39197,"location","Kentucky","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6655320,"Board considers KCTCS communication platforms for dual-credit classes; vote outcome not recorded",214,537000,751000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5408286-d48e9f9b4cd6c3ab28836bde81851458&start=537&end=751","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5408286-d48e9f9b4cd6c3ab28836bde81851458/thumbnail_537000.jpg","/articles/6655320/Kentucky/Board-considers-KCTCS-communication-platforms-for-dual-credit-classes-vote-outcome-not-recorded","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6655320-609a57f34b746d216d9ec8c5fe6297cf/orig.mp4?Expires=1770835909&Signature=YMmT1q1Kbc4lVH5bAebUkR-wSSjtBz25cbqB0DzNNjU-xaBL6Ko0l9Zq2Cus5Vdwj2wA2rNzYV4jqiWWaff1uE3N4Yry2JfXWpgFbc1k0SQa91LcU9AxnHM01EDHlaH2B27eogBQNC43VJD7zQiUPecnJmwRIfeAzROkUhaFjtGZPZ6HNH5m~OtY1nNyx4emRrdpSee0-jG3rlr7b076IUn6RghF9FTrAHC6DA2CXT0oPDLF5pNA2Djqx44RJl3fHCz0e8npNTH1TuLOqVf1X7Sx2IJxRZIaOkFNbNNjQXxgDpRlFmQWjLn3s-FeZfSzW70DK9wqujsTeKk-kvS77Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The McCreary County Board of Education discussed a request from Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS), via Somerset Community College, to approve three traceable communication platforms for use by professors and students enrolled in dual-credit classes.

District staff described the request as approval of the systems KCTCS uses for asynchronous and synchronous communication between college instructors and dual-credit students. Board members discussed whether county employees (district teachers) using the college platforms to teach dual-credit sections would need to follow the district's communication guidelines. Staff said if a district employee were teaching a dual-credit class, the teacher would need to follow the district's guidelines.

A motion to approve the KCTCS platforms for dual-credit use was made and seconded on the record; the transcript does not include a recorded vote or a final outcome for that motion.

Board members asked staff to take each request as it arrives and to process approvals individually.

The action came after a presentation from Rhonda Caldwell, executive director of KASA, who described the organization's onboarding program and the five standards that will guide evaluation and support for a new superintendent. Caldwell said the program pairs a superintendent with an executive coach, an experienced superintendent mentor, a school board liaison and other staff to provide \"boots on the ground\" support during the first year.

The adoption directs the board to use the five standards described in the KASA packet delivered to board members and to consider a growth plan for the superintendent later in August or at an early special meeting if needed. The board packet included a program guide, training dates, roles on the onboarding team, curriculum details and a resolution for the board to adopt.

Board members moved and seconded the motion to adopt the resolution and recorded votes in favor. The superintendent and board chair discussed next steps for presenting a growth plan for board approval in August.

KASA noted the program is developed in partnership with the Kentucky Department of Education and that the onboarding work supports superintendent certificate retention under state requirements. The board accepted the program materials and the resolution to use the five-standard framework.

The board did not specify implementation dates beyond the plan-to-come in August and did not set a deadline for completion of the growth plan in the public remarks recorded at the meeting.","The McCreary County Board of Education voted to adopt a resolution aligning superintendent evaluation and onboarding with the Kentucky Association of School Administrators\u0000(KASA) five-standard effectiveness framework and to receive KASA's onboarding program materials.","actionData","errors"]
