Emergency Certification
Efforts were made to recruit fully and highly qualified teachers for Pendleton County Schools. However, when a fully certified teacher cannot be located for a position, leeway from the EPSB and the KDE has been granted to school districts to hire teachers under an emergency certificate.
All employees are aware they must seek educational courses before being fully certified or before any opportunities for future employment may be granted. Also, please keep in mind that many of these employees may obtain certification through other means, such as a temporary provisional certificate by enrolling into an MAT program and obtaining full Kentucky certification prior to September 15th. If this occurs we will not utilize the emergency certification route.
I would recommend approval of the emergency certification requests as presented
Order #26-10769 - Motion Passed: Superintendent Buerkley's recommendation to approve the emergency certification request as presented passed with a motion by Mrs. Laura Schack and a second by Mr. Derek Brown.

Freckle Purchase for SES
Attached is a memo from our Executive Director of Teaching and Learning, Mrs. Blair Hicks, recommending the purchase of Freckle by Renaissance for Southern Elementary.

We do not anticipate paying for any part of this program with monies from the general fund. We will pull funding from federal grants of $7,299.00.
I recommend approval of the Freckle purchase as presented.

I recommend that the Board authorize the use of emergency substitute teachers for the 2026–2027 school year.
