Special Called Board Meeting- August 20, 2026

The Woodford County Public Schools held a special called board meeting on August 20, 2026, primarily to review the upcoming regular meeting agenda. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of various contracts such as facility rentals, mental health services, transportation for school trips, and a new employee assistance program with Frontier Nursing that is expected to save over $10,000 compared to the previous provider. The board also discussed fundraising activities and travel requests funded through various sources including CTE funds and booster organizations. Additionally, the board considered options for leasing space on school property for cell towers as a potential revenue source, with a $30,000 initial payment proposed and further negotiations planned. The meeting addressed concerns about contract service levels, particularly for mental health providers, and the equitable use of CTE funds for student travel. The board also reviewed school fees, emergency teaching certifications, and options for disposing of district property via sealed bids or public auction. No final votes on contracts or procurement decisions were taken during this session, as it was an agenda review meeting, but motions and discussions set the stage for upcoming decisions.
