OCBE Meeting July 27, 2026

The Oldham County Schools board held a meeting on July 27, 2026, focusing primarily on updates related to ongoing construction projects and financial reports. The construction report detailed progress on various school facilities, including parking lot repaving, playground expansions, and renovations at multiple campuses, with specific attention to safety and readiness for the upcoming school year. The treasurer's report highlighted fiscal year 2026 financials, noting revenues exceeded budget expectations while expenses were under budget, with a total cash balance of approximately $157.5 million across funds. The board approved several consent items related to construction projects and personnel actions. Additionally, the board approved policy updates, elementary school fees for fiscal year 2027, and a $40 reduction per student in school fees for the 2026-2027 year to reduce barriers for students. Communication plans for parking during Friday night games were also discussed to ensure safety and clarity for families. No new contracts or vendor selections were explicitly mentioned, but the meeting included significant capital improvement project updates and budgetary approvals relevant to procurement and facilities management.
