Jenkins Independent School Board Special Called June 30, 2026

The Jenkins Independent School Board held a special meeting on June 30, 2026, focusing on various educational and administrative updates. Key procurement-related actions included approval of the fiscal year 2017 payroll distribution schedule, acceptance of multiple cooperative memberships (KVEC and KEDC) that provide cooperative purchasing programs and educational services, and approval of contracts and agreements with Kentucky River Health Department and Kentucky River Community Care for nursing and behavioral health services. The board also approved a revision to the special education director's contract days, district funding assurances, and a Save the Children sub-award. Notably, the board reviewed bids for the district's auditing services, ultimately selecting Montgomery as the auditor based on expertise and experience despite a higher cost. Policy updates including budget procedures and AI technology policies were introduced for first reading. These decisions reflect ongoing efforts to support educational programs, ensure compliance, and manage district finances effectively.
