Boone County Schools board approves evaluation plan, assurances, conduct code and consent items; treasurer reports cash decline
Summary
At its regular meeting the Boone County Schools board approved multiple recommended actions — including the certified evaluation plan, KDE district assurances, a code of conduct and several emergency policy updates — and received a treasurer's report showing a cash balance decline for June.
The Boone County Schools Board of Education approved a slate of recommended actions and received routine financial reporting at the meeting.
Treasurer Katie Noonan reported the district began June with an adjusted cash balance of $68,381,425, recorded total receipts of $7,500,000, total expenditures of $28,100,000 and an ending cash balance of $47,812,656. The treasurer noted a net cash decrease for the month of $20,568,770, carryover outstanding purchase orders of $3,800,000 and $265,000 in layback funds used to reduce general-fund salary costs. No further funding breakdowns beyond those figures were provided during the public discussion.
The board unanimously approved the following recommended action items (all votes 4-0 unless noted): certified evaluation plan for Boone County Schools for the 2025–26 school year; the Kentucky Department of Education District Assurances for 2025–26; the district code of acceptable behavior and discipline (code of conduct) for 2025–26; a set of annual board policy updates approved as emergency readings; and the consent agenda items A through MM (consent items included routine personnel, contracts and other administrative approvals). Many additional policy numbers were posted for first reading or informational review; those first readings required no board action at the meeting.
Board members noted a recent two-week public comment period for curriculum selection required by Senate Bill 1 and that staff had consulted site-based councils. The superintendent and staff emphasized the work required to post and update many policies under KDE timelines.
