The Mayfield Independent School Board approved a package of financial and personnel actions at its meeting on Sept. 16, 2024, at the board office. Board Chair Michelle Arnett called the meeting to order.
The board voted unanimously to amend the agenda to add several consent and approval items after a motion by Lorane Smith and a second from Martha Wynstra. Later, by a motion from Larry Jackson and a second from Joe Green, the consent agenda was approved; it included acceptance of minutes from Aug. 19 and approvals for a slate of student field and athletic trips.
On budget and taxes, the board adopted the district's 2024-25 tax schedule and the working budget. The tax rates approved were 68.5 per $100 assessed value on real and personal property (with exoneration), 68.9 per $100 assessed value for motor vehicles, and a 3% gross receipts utility tax. The 2024-25 Working Budget was approved at the same meeting; both actions were unanimous.
The board also accepted a West KY Safe Futures grant of $125,000. The grant acceptance was reviewed and approved upon a motion by Joe Green, seconded by Larry Jackson.

The district (MISD) was recognized by the Chamber of Commerce as business of the year.
With no further business, the meeting was adjourned upon a motion by Larry Jackson, seconded by Lorane Smith.
