Boone County School Board Meeting For June 2026

The Boone County School Board held a meeting on June 12, 2026, focusing primarily on the district's facilities plan and insurance procurement. The board reviewed a comprehensive five-year facilities plan that includes major capital improvement projects such as renovations to Connor High School and Middle School, the opening of a new early childhood center, and the construction of a new middle school to accommodate growth in specific areas. The plan detailed project priorities, budget considerations, and site challenges, with an emphasis on maintaining and upgrading aging facilities. Additionally, the board approved a general obligation bond resolution to fund the preschool center renovation. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to selecting a property and casualty insurance broker and coverage program. After evaluating proposals from Arthur J. Gallagher (Bluegrass Risk Management) and USI (Liberty Mutual and other insurers), the board approved USI and Liberty Mutual's option one, which offers dedicated coverage with higher limits and better alignment to the district's risk profile. The board also authorized the superintendent to execute all necessary contracts related to the insurance program. Other routine business included approval of board meeting dates and updates to district policies. The meeting concluded with acknowledgments of staff efforts and community engagement.
