Highlights of the February 22, 2023 Powell County Board of Education Meeting
- Students from our FFA made a short presentation on what FFA has done for them in honor of National FFA week.
- An agreement with Partners for Rural Impact was approved that will place a person in each school to support community involvement.
- We heard a presentation from Dwight Salsbury with RSA Advisors regarding our current bonding potential. At this time, we could issue a bond sale in the amount of $27,390,000. This bonding potential would allow us to move forward with the building of the new Stanton Elementary School.
- Kenny Stanfield with Sherman, Carter, Barnhart architects presented the revised BG-1 that will be submitted to the Kentucky Department of Education outlining our funds that would allow for the building of Stanton Elementary. The Board approved the BG-1 which allows Sherman, Carter, Barnhart to move forward with their final plan revisions and preparation of a bid package. This work should be completed within a timeframe of approximately 3 months. We will then determine if it will be good to go out for bids or if we need to wait on additional funding.
- The facility Local Planning Committee was approved after a revision of adding an additional high school teacher to the committee and removing an elementary teacher. This brings the balance of staff represented to a level that KDE will approve.
- The Board policy revision on volunteers had the first reading. This revision clarifies who will pay for background checks and is the start to getting a solid process in place for volunteering in the schools.
- A new staffing allocation procedure was approved.
- A new procedure that specifies a process for use if instructional materials are challenged was approved.
- The Board approved to purchase the service from K & K Insurance for student accident coverage. It is a secondary plan to the student's health insurance.
- The principals from Stanton Elementary, Bowen Elementary, and the Powell County High School presented their Continuous Improvement Plans for the schools. Data and presentations are included in the Board materials.
