6.b. 2021 Fidelity Bond
Rationale

The Fidelity Bond requirements summarized in KRS 160.560 require an official bond be approved by the local Board of Education and the Commissioner of Education.

6.c. BG-1 For Door Key Cards
Rationale

Sherman Carter Barnhart Presentation of KY HB 352 / Ky SB1 District Wide Security Upgrades, Construction / Contract Documents and BG-1 financial page to submit to KDE for approval of contract award to Schiller Hardware via Kentucky Price Contract Master Agreement.

This action will start key card lock purchase/installation project on numerous doors in our schools across the district. This project will be paid for by using SB1 funds provided by the state.

6.d. Supervision Hours for Mental Health Specialist
Rationale

Lincoln County does not have counselors that diagnose, create treatment plans, or offer psychotherapy services to students in school; students must be referred out to other agencies. Some agencies see students at school but others require the student to be seen in office.  Barriers such as transportation, cost, and lack of follow through do not allow students to receive the services they need. 

The district requests to contract with outside agencies to provide the supervision hours needed for the Mental Health Specialist to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. This action will allows her to diagnose, create treatment plans, and provide psychotherapy services to students in school and potentially bill medicaid for these services. She will in turn provide free supervision hours to Mental Health Professionals  who have the necessary education, are employed by the district, and who want to pursue this license in the future.

6.e. Declare Buses as Surplus
Rationale

The Transportation Department would like to declare six buses as surplus and take sealed bids which allows them to reject any/all unacceptable bids. Each unit is determined to be unneeded to transport students daily in a safe manner and are no longer eligible for further depreciation.

6.f. Contract for Legal Services
Rationale

The Chenoweth Law Firm ceased existence as of Dec. 31st of 2020, due to the retirement of the senior Mr. Chenoweth. The junior Mr. Chenoweth has moved to another law firm. Our district has several pending legal matters that we wish to transfer with the junior Chenoweth for the continuity of the representation. We also wish to be prepared for the future in the event that we need the specific legal skills that Mr. Chenoweth can provide us by having an as needed contract in place.
