The Scott County Board of Education approved the 2025–26 Kentucky School Boards Association (KSBA) policy updates checklist with exceptions for several policies to be modified and returned with superintendent revisions. The board approved the update "with the exception of policy 03.1233, policy 03.2233, policy 08.113, policy 082323, and policy 09.122," a board member said, and directed the superintendent to provide modifications on those items.
Board members and central-office staff said the workload tied to Senate Bill 181 made this year's policy and administrative procedure updates more time-consuming than usual. "Because of [Senate Bill 181] it felt way heavier than it's ever felt," a board member said; another suggested an annual work session to give board members more time to digest policy changes.
Separately staff presented a tentative schedule for student achievement reports through the coming year — including ACT and AP/dual-credit data in August, I-Ready administrations in October and February, a December community schools and FRISK update, and special education data in January. Board members asked staff to include five-year trends for ACT, AP and dual-credit data, and to add gifted program stakeholder results in July to align with a July survey schedule.
The board completed a first reading of several specific policy revisions and approved the student discipline code for 2025–26. Staff said they will continue to refine administrative procedures and make them available for board review, and several members asked for additional time in years with heavier legislative changes.
