Letcher County board approves facilities-plan action, consent items and routine financial business; enters executive session on pending lawsuit
Summary
The board voted to convene the facilities planning committee to remove priority work for a closed elementary (pending DoD permission), appointed Angie as the board representative, approved consent items including bus purchases, accepted financial reconciliations and moved into executive session on a pending litigation involving Carbon Transport Inc.
At its Dec. 15 meeting (year not specified in transcript), the Letcher County Board of Education voted to proceed with a superintendent-recommended change to the district facilities plan so the district can consider surplus of a closed elementary school; the superintendent said Department of Defense permission will be required before conveying the property.
A board member moved and the board approved the superintendent's recommendation to convene the local planning committee and adjust facility priorities. The board then appointed Angie to serve as the board representative on that committee, replacing Mead Boggs.
The board approved the consent agenda, which included requests for short school days for special-needs students, surplus technology from the technology department, an MOU tied to the volunteer grant mentioned earlier, bus approvals and overnight trips for athletic teams and cheerleaders. Board members moved and approved payment of bills after Mister Young reported the November bank reconciliation and fund balances.
Mister Young reported that accounts reconciled and recited fund balances as included in the packet: special revenue fund $190,551.96; district activity funds $30,750.80; capital outlay $357,202.45; building fund $954,232.80; construction fund $1,877,999.44 (as reported in the transcript); debt service $168,357.06; cash and physical agents $34,150.08; food service $318,373.19; and a reported cash and investments total of $14,975,908.03. The board then moved to approve payment of bills; the motion passed by voice vote.
On personnel, the board approved an employee FMLA request as presented by the superintendent.
Finally, the board voted to enter executive session under KRS 61.81 to discuss pending litigation: April Martin as natural parent and next friend of Gunnar Martin, Alyssa Martin, and Easton Martin versus Carbon Transport Inc., et al., Circuit Court case number 24-CI-00031. The motion to enter executive session was seconded and approved by voice vote.
