Board approves consent items, staffing tweaks and early graduations; special meeting set for June 19
Summary
The Bullitt County Board of Education approved consent items that included SBDM‑funded clerical and tutor positions, summer hires and five early graduations, and it scheduled a special meeting for June 19 to award construction contracts.
The Bullitt County Board of Education approved multiple consent and personnel items on its April agenda, including school‑level requests paid from SBDM funds, summer clerical and custodial hires, and five student early‑graduation petitions. The board also voted to enter executive session on pending litigation and later reconvened with no action taken; members set a special meeting for June 19 to consider construction contract awards.
Staffing and SBDM requests
The board approved a package of school staffing adjustments funded from individual school SBDM (Site Based Decision Making) dollars: Mount Washington Elementary was granted an additional 30 clerical minutes and a separate 3‑hour instructional tutor position to support tier‑2 students; other schools received additional clerical hours (including Shippensburg/"Shippersville" Elementary and Zoneton Middle School as presented). Board minutes show trustees explicitly noted support for SBDM-funded proposals.
Summer hires and student workers
The board approved summer clerical and custodial hires for 15 school buildings. Some schools requested student workers (ages varied by assignment; secondary positions recommended a minimum age of 16) and staff confirmed students would be supervised when assigned to office duties.
Early graduation and other consent votes
Superintendent staff recommended and the board approved five student early‑graduation requests after district verification that each student met Bullitt County Public Schools requirements.
Executive session and special meeting
The board recessed into executive session under KRS 61.810(1)(c) to discuss pending litigation; trustees stated no action was taken in executive session. The board later reconvened and scheduled a special meeting for 5:30 p.m. on June 19 to approve construction contracts after bids are returned and contracts prepared.
Ending
Board votes on the consent package and individual staffing requests were recorded as approved. A public request to remove a grass‑mowing line item from the consent agenda was raised during public comment but the transcript shows the consent package was approved as presented.
