Jefferson County board approves settlement on superintendent's evaluation
Summary
The Jefferson County Board of Education approved a final settlement related to Superintendent Brian Yearwood's 2025-26 evaluation after an executive session; the motion was moved by Mr. Bass and seconded by Ms. Lister and carried by voice vote.
The Jefferson County Board of Education voted June 30 to approve the 2025-26 final board settlement tied to Superintendent Brian Yearwood's evaluation.
Chair Scholl announced the motion and the board recorded a second from Mr. Bass and Ms. Lister; the chair said the board voted in favor. The matter was discussed in closed session earlier in the meeting under exemptions the chair cited in KRS 61.810(1)(k) and KRS 61.810(1)(c).
The board's public summary said the subject of the executive session involved the superintendent's evaluation and proposed or pending litigation; the chair stated that public discussion would reveal litigation strategy and have an adverse legal and financial impact on the district. The chair also reported that "no action was taken while in closed session," but the subsequent open-session motion to approve the settlement was carried.
The action was presented as a final settlement on the evaluation for the 2025-26 period; the transcript does not provide additional financial or contractual details.
