| 4. Recognition of BCPS School Level Teacher of the Year Honorees | Stefanie Kleinholter |
Good evening, members of the Board, colleagues, and members of the community. Tonight, we
have the distinct privilege of celebrating the true foundation of our success: our exceptional
teachers.
Every day, our educators demonstrate unwavering dedication, innovation, and passion. They
inspire curiosity, build confidence, and prepare our students not just for the next grade level, but
for life. The School-Level Teacher of the Year recognition is an opportunity for each school
community to honor the very best among us, those who embody excellence in teaching and
service.
This recognition is a profound affirmation from their peers, administrators, students, and parents
that their work is not only seen but deeply valued.
We recognize these individuals for going above and beyond the call of duty, for their
commitment to high academic standards, and for fostering nurturing and engaging learning
environments.
We would now like to formally recognize each recipient by name and school.

| 1. Financial Reports | Lisa Lewis |
| The November 2025 (FY26 Period 5) financial report reflects continued strength in the district's overall financial position. General Fund revenues total $89.9 million year-to-date, driven largely by strong property tax collections, while expenditures total $43.9 million, resulting in a positive margin of approximately $46.0 million. SEEK funding has reached $15.9 million, and all major expenditure categories, particularly instruction, are tracking appropriately for this point in the fiscal year. Special Revenue funds show $5.8 million in revenue and $5.0 million in expenditures, consistent with the timing of federal and state grant activity. District Activity Funds report $279,494 in revenue and $179,214 in expenditures, while Student Activity Funds show limited activity due to the timing of receipts and reimbursements. The Capital Outlay Fund has received $585,000 of its annual state allocation, with no expenditures recorded to date as capital projects continue through planning phases. Overall, the district's financial outlook remains stable, and no concerns are noted at this time. | |

| 1. West Blue Lick Drainage and Sanitary Project Phase 2, Request for Support | Thomas Stokes |
The City of Shepherdsville is requesting a letter of support from Bullitt County Public Schools for the West Blue Lick Road Drainage & Sanitary Sewer Improvement Project - Phase Two. This project includes installation of a large-diameter stormwater trunk line along the full length of Bullitt Lick Middle School Road, multiple new catch basins, and full-depth roadway replacement. The improvements will provide several benefits to Bullitt Lick Middle School and Shepherdsville Elementary School, including:
Better drainage and reduced standing water, which will limit mosquito habitat and improve mowing and maintenance.
- Increased usable outdoor space for student activities.
- Opportunities for future drainage improvements on school property.
- Support for potential future upgrades to West Blue Lick Road and KY 44, enhancing safety and traffic flow.
A letter of support from the district will assist the city with permitting efforts. Preliminary construction plans and a preliminary easement plat are included for review. | |
| 2. BEHS PSC - BG 25-145 - Change Order 4 - Permanent Netting Poles | Thomas Stokes |
BCPS Leadership is requesting the addition of a protective netting system in the endzone of the stadium field to deter balls from going over the fence into the construction zone. This change order includes the labor from Calhoun and their subcontractors to install the netting system that was purchased via a direct purchase order outside of this contract. The Motz Group has been notified of this work and will monitor construction activities and remove and replace turf around the poles. Their work is estimated to be $2,000 and will work on a Time and Material Basis. Billing will be sent once actual time expended is known as a direct payment request to BCPS. The Motz Group does not have an active contract with the District to apply a change order which is why T&M is being recommended for their oversight of constructing at the existing synthetic turf stadium field. This Change Order includes a credit to offset Change Order 2 which was previously approved a temporary netting system. That credit is shown in the COR paperwork attached to this document. I recommend approval of this request.

| 2. 2nd Reading of Policy 09.214 | Adrienne Usher |
| The proposed Policy 09.214 establishes guidelines for using Registered Therapy Animals to support student mental health, emotional regulation, and academic engagement in Bullitt County Public Schools (BCPS). Due to an increase in the number of requests for therapy dogs/animals, a policy is necessary to ensure safety for students and staff. The policy mandates prior written approval, annual renewal, proof of certification/vaccinations, and liability insurance. Handlers are responsible for control, care, and clean-up, with provisions made for allergies and trauma concerns. This policy has been reviewed and approved by KSBA and Dinsmore & Shohl, LLP. as well as KSBA. Approval is requested for a second reading of the new policy 09.214 | |
| 3. 2nd Reading of Board Policy 10.4 (revision) | Adrienne Usher |
Board Policy 10.4, Advertising in the Schools, outlines the standards and procedures for commercial and community advertising within district schools. The policy establishes clear definitions, approval processes, and limitations to ensure that all advertising aligns with the educational mission of the district and remains appropriate for students. The current policy has been reviewed and revised to reflect updated communication practices, and clarify the roles of district administration, principals, and school-affiliated support groups such as PTAs, PTOs, and Booster Clubs in approving and managing advertising activities.
The revisions to Policy 10.4 provide clearer definitions and a more cohesive structure for advertising procedures within the district. These revisions are designed to protect instructional time and preserve the integrity of the educational environment while supporting positive relationships between schools and community organizations. The changes also promote transparency and consistency in the approval process for advertising and solicitation, ensuring that all practices comply with legal requirements and district standards.
This revision has been reviewed by Dinsmore & Shohl, Inc. and by KSBA. This request is for approval of the second reading of revised Policy 10.4. | |

| 4. 2026-2027 School Calendar for BCPS | Steve Smallwood |
The BCPS Calendar Committee convened on November 17, 2025, to develop a preliminary survey to solicit community feedback regarding the current calendar format. The results of this initial survey are attached for your review.
Following an analysis of the results, the Committee developed 4 distinct calendar options. These options were presented to the Calendar Committee on December 2nd. The Calendar Committee then removed the 4th option and would like to present 3 options for approval to be included in a subsequent community-wide survey. This voting survey will be distributed on December 3rd and will close on Friday, December 5th. Upon the conclusion of the voting period, we will review the findings and submit the community's preferred calendar to the Board of Education for official approval.
Pursuant to the process for school calendar adoption, the Board of Education is required to hold two (2) separate meetings: 1) a session for discussion of the Calendar Committee's results and presentation of the calendar recommendation, and 2) a subsequent session for the official adoption of the calendar. These meetings may be conducted during a regular or special session.
We intend to present the survey results to the Board during the regular meeting on Monday, December 15th. At that time, we will recommend that the Board officially adopt the 25-26 school calendar during their regular meeting scheduled for January 12th. | |
