Board approves revised 2025–26 calendar, accepts SFCC assistance and clears construction invoices
Summary
The Franklin County Board of Education approved a revised 2025–26 calendar, accepted an offer of assistance from the School Facilities Construction Commission, approved construction BG forms and pay apps for Elkhorn projects, and accepted a $3,000 donation for a wellness program.
At its regular meeting, the Franklin County Board of Education approved a series of consent and action items, including a revised 2025–26 school calendar, acceptance of an offer of assistance from the School Facilities Construction Commission (SFCC), multiple construction BG-4 forms and pay applications, and a $3,000 donation to support a middle-school wellness program.
Calendar and SFCC assistance: The board reviewed a revised academic calendar with the last student day listed as May 22, 2026, then voted to approve the revised 2025–26 calendar. Board materials also included an offer of assistance from the School Facilities Construction Commission (SFCC) pursuant to KRS 157.622; the board moved to accept the SFCC offer (the packet lists the assistance amount as "at least $690") and voted to approve acceptance of the assistance.
Construction and pay applications: Staff presented several BG-4 forms and related invoices for Elkhorn Elementary and other projects (BG numbers cited in the packet include BG22122, BG23422, BG23433, BG23434, BG24331 and BG23431). The board approved change order number 22 (described as a less-than-8-inch curb adjustment around the FCHS mechanical yard) and approved pay applications listed in the packet. The packet cited a payout amount for BG23431 of $115,006.45; staff indicated they would provide any additional documentation requested.
Donation and minutes: The board accepted a $3,000 donation listed in the meeting materials from "Frankfurt Regional Medical Center" to supply wellness bags for participants in the Confident Girls program on Aug. 7, 2026. (The donor name is taken from the board packet; reporters should confirm the donor’s official name in the materials.) The board also approved minutes from the Feb. 9, 2026 meeting; one member was recorded absent and one member announced an abstention.
Votes and procedure: Most items were acted on by motion and voice vote; where the record shows only 'aye' responses the packet indicates the motions carried. Board members asked procedural questions about warranties and requested follow-up details on roofing warranty specifics and one-year walkthroughs; staff responded that warranty details would be provided after the meeting.
Next steps: After completing the consent and action agenda items the board moved to enter a closed session under KRS 61.810(1)(c) to discuss proposed or pending litigation.
