AGENDA

1. CALL TO ORDER
On March 6, 2020, the Governor issued Executive Order 2020-215, declaring a state of emergency throughout Kentucky pursuant to his power under the Kentucky Constitution and KRS Chapter 39A regarding the threats to public health presented by the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. In an Opinion issued on March 18, 2020, issued as OAG 20-05, the Kentucky Attorney General opined that at this time during the present state of emergency it is not “feasible” under KRS 61.840 to precisely identify and provide a primary physical location for a video teleconference under the Open Meetings Act at which the public may attend and view a meeting held via video teleconference, and that various other technological means by which the public may view a meeting should be provided instead until the conclusion of the state of emergency. As a result, the Board adopted a Resolution on March 23, 2020, (see Board Order Number 2020-060) providing for all future Board meetings to proceed by video teleconference until such time as social distancing restrictions for public meetings are lifted.
2. ADMINISTRATION OF OATHS
Bullitt County Judge Executive Jerry Summers will administer the Kentucky Constitutional Oath and the School Board Member Oath to four newly elected/selected board members: Darrell Coleman, Linda Belcher, Juanita "Nita" Neal, and Lisa Hodges. Linda Belcher represents District 1 and will be starting a new term of 2021-2024. Nita Neal replaces Diane Thompson for District 2 with a new, full term of 2021-2024. Lisa Hodges was selected at the special Board meeting on December 17, 2020, to replace Steve Hornback representing District 4, filling the unexpired term (2019-2022) until the November 2022 regular election. Darrell Coleman represents District 5 and was re-elected with a term of 2021-2024.
