Ballard County school board rejects SFCC offer to avoid funding restrictions
Summary
On Oct. 1, 2024, the Ballard County Board of Education unanimously rejected a 2022 SFCC offer of assistance described in the transcript as $4,465 in annual debt service, saying accepting it would restrict surplus Building Fund and Capital Outlay dollars to Priority 1 or 2 projects under the District Facility Plan.
The Ballard County Board of Education on Oct. 1 unanimously rejected a 2022 SFCC offer of assistance that the transcript describes as “in the amount of $4,465 annual debt service,” citing a desire to avoid restricting surplus Building Fund and Capital Outlay dollars to only Priority 1 or 2 projects under the District Facility Plan (DFP).
Cathy Drummond moved to reject the SFCC offer; Ivey Rollings seconded, and the board approved the motion unanimously. The transcript records the action as: “the Board unanimously approved to reject the 2022 SFCC Offer of Assistance in the amount of $4,465 annual debt service so that surplus Building Fund & Capital Outlay funds will not be restricted for use on only Priority 1 or 2 projects on the DFP.”
The offer is identified in the meeting minutes only by the acronym “SFCC” and by the year 2022; the transcript does not define the acronym or provide additional program details. The record also notes the offer was awarded in 2024 but does not supply further award documentation or conditions in the transcript.
Board members did not request additional votes or amendments recorded in the minutes. The transcript does not provide a numeric roll-call tally; it records the decision as unanimous. The board had previously listed Superintendent Casey Allen and the following members as present: Tammy Dennis, Kim Morris, Brandon Birney, Cathy Drummond, Ivey Rollings and Jennifer Head.
The board approved the agenda earlier in the meeting, took the actions above, and then adjourned; its next regular meeting is scheduled for Oct. 21, 2024, at 6:00 p.m.
