At its Aug. 22 meeting the Washington County Board of Education approved a broad consent agenda, several routine motions and a personnel slate, then moved into a short work session on facilities.
The consent agenda (Bd. #24-064), approved 4-0, included minutes from the July 15 regular session, payment of bills, budget amendments, and donations (12 backpacks from Amy Trigg and a box of school supplies from McDonald's). The board also approved memoranda of agreement with Central Kentucky Head Start and Kentucky Office of Vocational Rehabilitation, a partnership agreement with Central Kentucky Community Action for an Educational Neglect Prevention and Family Engagement Program, the Kentucky Incentives for Prevention (KIP) 2024 MOU, an AT&T Connected School Bus scope of work contract, and other service proposals and facility-use agreements.
