OCBE Meeting October 12, 2026

The October 12, 2026, Oldham County Schools board meeting included a discussion of facility-project change orders, particularly for South Oldham High School. In response to a question about architect/engineering and construction-management fees, staff explained that the owner–architect and owner–contractor agreements govern fee adjustments, which are reviewed and reconciled at project closeout. The discussion distinguished an approximately 6% architectural fee adjustment from construction overhead and profit, which staff said is limited to 15%; fees may be adjusted after review of credits, errors, or omissions. The board approved the consent items by a 5–0 vote, but the transcript does not specify individual change-order amounts or identify a new contract award or solicitation.

The board also approved the treasurer’s report by a 5–0 vote. The report showed governmental fund receipts of $25.2 million, disbursements of $19.5 million, and an ending governmental fund balance of $146.8 million; total cash across accounts was $155.8 million. Members heard a presentation about South Oldham Middle School’s student-run Chromebook help desk, but no related purchase or procurement action was discussed. Other agenda actions, including approval of meeting minutes and adjournment, passed unanimously.
