• Hebron's State Odyssey of the Mind Achievements

Odyssey of the Mind is an international creative problem-solving program that engages students by allowing their knowledge and ideas to come to life in an exciting, productive environment. Think of it as Future Problem Solving meets the Theatrical Arts.

These Hebron students received 5 long term problems in early September and then they chose which problem(s) to take on. They had 5 months to solve the problem they chose and to create an 8-minute skit, complete with props and stage design. At the state competition in March, they performed their 8-minute skit and competed in a spontaneous problem solving activity.

One of Hebron’s Odyssey of the Mind teams placed third at the state competition and were also recommended to advance to the international competition. 

Odyssey of the Mind Team Student Members: Sophia Raymer, Bailey Green, Lydia Gabbart, Brayden Napper, and Rylin Wall

Sponsor: Kimberly Minter

Transportation Director David Phelps requests the Board to approve the $50 stipend for Transportation Bus Drivers and Monitors be continued for the 2022-2023 school year. The study shows that sick and personal day absences were reduced for the same time frame from 9.28 average per driver in the 2018-19 and 10.68 in 19-20 school years to 8.65 for the 2021-2022 school year. This saves the county the cost of replacement drivers for those days and may very nearly offset the cost of the stipend if responsibly applied to the 2023 FY budget. This measure will also have a valuable impact on retention, recruitment, and quality of service available to the students of BCPS. It will assist in bringing daily fluidity to the functionality of the schools' AM and PM processing in an extremely difficult labor market.

Submitted is the Tentative Budget for Fiscal Year 2023.  The summary by fund is shown below:

General-Fund 1                                                     $137,239,078.48        

Grants-Fund 2                                                       $  9,390,793.50

 Capital Outlay-Fund 310                                       $  1,186,748.00

Building-Fund 320                                                 $ 13,644,710.62

 Food Service-Fund 51                                           $   7,178,039.55

Total                                                                      $168,639,370.15

For each fund, the revenues equal the budgeted expenses.  The Fund 1 contingency is above the minimum contingency required by the state of 2%.  Departmental budgets have been reviewed and many have been reduced from the Draft Budget requests. The budget allows the District to continue staffing below cap size and maintain the Instructional Coaches, Instructional Tutors, College Career Coaches, and the Data Managers.  The budget contains funds to add a 3.00%  across-the-board raise on the pay scales and the continued funding for SBDM allocations at 3.5% of the SEEK base per pupil amount. 

In the General Fund, salary and fringes as budgeted account for approximately 79.83% of the General Fund budget, excluding on-behalfs.   

        Some areas to note are:

1.       Kentucky Teacher Retirement System match is an unfunded mandate.  The Employer Match has reached the maximum contribution of 3%.  The total general fund cost for KTRS Employer Match is approximately $1,700,000.

2.      Three buses are budgeted.

3.       This budget also includes on-behalf payments in the budget, which reflect an estimate of the amounts paid on behalf of the district by the state for Kentucky Teachers Retirement, Technology, and Health Insurance. 

4.       Budget reflects the slight decrease in CERS employer contributions from 26.95% to 26.79%. 

Fund 400 is included for informational purposes only and is not included in the total Tentative Budget amount.

Any changes to the Tentative Budget will be made and presented with the Working Budget in September.
