Perry County Board approves facility-plan amendment, accepts $25,002 in SFCC assistance and final SBDM allocations
Summary
At its April 15 meeting in Hazard, the Perry County Board of Education unanimously approved seeking a Kentucky Department of Education amendment to its District Facility Plan to add athletic facilities, accepted a $25,002 offer from the School Facilities Construction Commission and approved final SBDM allocations for 2025–26.
The Perry County Board of Education unanimously approved a package of routine and project-related actions at a meeting on April 15, 2025, in Hazard.
In a single set of motions, the board approved a request to seek approval from the Kentucky Department of Education to amend the district’s Facility Plan to allow for the addition of athletic facilities. The motion was offered by Mr. Ryan Miller and seconded by Mr. Johnny Feltner; the vote was recorded as 5–0 in favor.
The board also accepted an offer of assistance from the School Facilities Construction Commission (SFCC) totaling $25,002. That acceptance was moved by Mr. Ryan Miller, seconded by Mr. Johnny Feltner and approved unanimously. The SFCC offer was described on the agenda as an “offer of assistance in the amount of $25,002.”
In other formal action, the board approved final Site-Based Decision Making (SBDM) allocations for the 2025–2026 school year. Mr. Johnny Feltner moved the SBDM allocations as presented; Mr. Richard Miller seconded and the motion passed 5–0.
Several routine consent items were approved earlier in the meeting as part of Order #272. The consent agenda included approval of minutes, the financial report, payrolls and bills for the General Fund and Block Grants, personnel announcements, emergency certification approval (if applicable), bus, building and fundraising requests, a listing of MOAs and memoranda (including with the Kentucky River Health Department, PT Pros, an evaluator agreement with Alene Watson, and Mountain Therapy), and the Special Education Policies and Procedures for 2025–2026. That consent motion was moved by Mr. Richard Miller, seconded by Mr. Berl Hurt, and passed 5–0.
The meeting agenda also listed construction contract approvals, bids and invoices related to district construction projects; the transcript names Codell Construction and Clott, Feltner and Samakar Architects among contractors or vendors listed for payment of invoices. A tentative budget for 2025–2026 was listed on the agenda but the transcript records it only as an item on the agenda, not as a finalized action.
The board adjourned following the business with a final procedural vote moved by Mr. Ryan Miller and seconded by Mr. Berl Hurt; the adjournment passed 5–0.
Authorities and next steps: The facility-plan amendment request will be submitted to the Kentucky Department of Education; acceptance of SFCC assistance does not itself begin construction but provides funds designated as assistance by the SFCC. The board’s motions and vote tallies were recorded in the official meeting record.
