Regular Board Meeting- October 26, 2026

Regular meeting of the Woodford County Public Schools Board, October 26, 2026. The board reviewed first-quarter finances, with revenue about $300,000 above the prior year and expenditures roughly $1.6 million lower. The treasurer reported a positive food-service balance of about $200,000, while noting aging equipment that may require replacement: four dishwashers and three walk-in freezers and two walk-in coolers are beyond their expected service lives. Replacing the identified equipment was estimated at approximately $220,000–$250,000 overall; the discussion favored planning a phased replacement cycle and rebuilding food-service reserves, and no purchase was approved. The district also reported that a bulk-ordering system for custodial supplies is saving money and is assessing playgrounds and upgrades to aging surveillance cameras. A districtwide athletic sponsorship model is also under consideration.

The board approved the September financial report and payment of bills, along with the consent agenda and meeting minutes. It approved a first reading of revisions to tuition and enrollment policies; the proposed changes include employee-student enrollment provisions, while tuition-fee changes are to be addressed separately in procedures. Calendar options for 2027–28 and 2028–29 were presented for discussion, with no adoption vote recorded. No contract awards, bids, or vendor selections were identified. The meeting also included academic-performance reports, school recognitions, and a presentation on student learning and community partnerships.
