Summary
On Feb. 16, 2026 the Henderson County Board of Education unanimously approved a calendar amendment for the 2025–26 school year, accepted minutes and consent items, approved the treasurer's and paid-warrant reports, and voted to enter executive session under KRS personnel provisions.
HENDERSON COUNTY — The Henderson County Board of Education on Feb. 16 unanimously adopted a change to the 2025–26 academic calendar and approved several routine items, including financial reports and minutes, before moving into executive session to discuss personnel matters.
The board approved an amendment to the 2025–26 calendar after Superintendent Doctor Lawson explained the district had used six NTI (non-traditional instruction) days and two snow days built into the calendar. The superintendent said March 13 will serve as a scheduled makeup day. "We had those built in to make up," the superintendent said when recommending the amendment for approval. Board member Mister Alvis moved to adopt the calendar amendment; Miss Williams seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
The meeting also included routine business on the consent agenda: a second reading of the district improvement plan, Family Resource/Youth Service Center assurance certification, fundraisers for AV Chandler, a disability relief request, and bid recommendations for office supplies and a wide area network. The board approved the consent agenda after a motion from Mister Alvis and a second from Mister McGar.
Finance items were presented by Mister Stokes. He reported January receipts of $7,686,946 and expenditures of $9,060,621, for a net monthly change of negative $1,373,675. The board approved the treasurer's report as presented. Mister Stokes also presented the paid warrant report for payments made between Jan. 21 and Feb. 16, 2026, with a grand total of $5,207,968.27; the board approved that report.
Before adjourning to executive session, the board confirmed receipt and review of personnel actions since the last meeting and cited KRS 61.810(1)(k) and KRS 156.557(6)(c) as the legal basis for the closed session. The superintendent noted there would be no formal board actions after the executive session. The motion to enter executive session was made by Miss Williams, seconded by Mister Alvis, and carried unanimously.
