Oldham County Board approves FY25 CDIP, policy revisions and reimbursement resolution; votes unanimous
Summary
At its Dec. 16 meeting, the Oldham County Board of Education unanimously approved the FY25 District Improvement Plan required by KDE, second-reading KSBA policy revisions, and a resolution of reimbursement to prepare for upcoming projects; the board also accepted the November treasurer's report.
The Oldham County Board of Education unanimously approved several routine and required items at its Dec. 16 meeting, including the FY25 Comprehensive District Improvement Plan (CDIP), second-reading KSBA policy revisions, and a resolution of reimbursement ahead of planned capital projects.
Carrie Alexander, the district treasurer, presented the November financial report and summarized receipts and fund balances. "Our total receipts on our governmental funds [were] just over 64,000,000 for the month," Alexander said, adding that tax receipts made up the majority of the receipts and that the district's combined funds (including school activity, food service and daycare) stood at "a little over 86,000,000" as reported in the packet. She also identified construction fund and investment balances and noted timing differences in transfers that will be reflected in next month's report.
On formal actions, the board recorded the following unanimous votes (all 5-0): approval of the amended agenda (motion by Mrs. Sheffer, seconded by Mr. Dodson); approval of the November and Dec. 2 meeting minutes; approval of consent items; approval of the KSBA policy revisions presented for second reading; approval of the FY25 CDIP (recommended by the superintendent under KDE requirements); and approval of a resolution of reimbursement to position the district for the projects discussed at prior meetings. The chair then called for a motion to enter executive session under KRS 61.8101(c) (litigation preparation/defense) and KRS 61.8101(b) (deliberations on acquisition/sale of real property); that motion passed 5-0.
Superintendent Dr. Smith noted that the CDIP sets multi-year goals across seven focus areas—literacy and math, writing/science/social studies, novice reduction, English Learner attainment, student connectedness, postsecondary readiness and graduation rate—and that Cognia had awarded the district a six-year clear accreditation with a three-year check-in. No additional board action was required beyond the approvals taken at the meeting. The board then recessed into executive session as posted.
