Covington Community School Corp board adopts 2026 budget, transfer resolution and related plans
Summary
The Covington Community School Corp board unanimously approved the 2026 budget, a budget resolution granting Superintendent Holly McGee authority to adjust projections, and a transfer resolution authorizing up to $1,050,000 to move from the education fund to the operating fund; related capital and bus plans were also approved.
The Covington Community School Corp board approved its 2026 budget and a package of related financial and planning items at its regular meeting.
Board members voted to adopt the 2026 budget after the chair said the numbers under consideration were unchanged from the prior month's review. The board also approved a 2026 budget resolution that, the chair said, "grants appropriate authority to Miss Holly McGee, superintendent, to make any necessary adjustments to the projections, assumptions, and balances used in the creation of the 2026 budget or on the 1782 notice," with the superintendent required to report any changes back to the board.
The board approved a capital projects plan described as a guideline for maintenance and larger projects such as painting and future HVAC work, and it approved the statutorily required bus replacement plan, which lays out the replacement timeline and funding approach for district buses.
Separately, the board adopted an annual transfer resolution authorizing transfers from the education fund to the operating fund for the coming school year. The chair stated the "total anticipated maximum amount to be transferred is $1,050,000," typically paid in equal monthly increments and reflected in monthly claims.
Votes were taken by voice; members indicated "aye" and no opposition was recorded. The board handled these items under new business after completing a consent agenda earlier in the meeting.
The board also approved three new elementary extracurricular activity (ECA) funds — listed in the meeting as the Bridal Science Club, Kindness Club and Garden Club — each set at $200 per session for up to six sessions per year.
What happens next: Superintendent Holly McGee may implement the limited adjustments authorized by the budget resolution and must report certified budget figures or any changes back to the board at a later date.
