• Work Session November 10, 2025 Travel.xlsx - BOE (1)

In 2023, a retiring employee was issued a payment for accumulated sick leave. Although the district issued a check, the employee returned it so the funds could be deposited into her 403(b). Unfortunately, the funds were not subsequently sent to the account, and the transaction was inadvertently left unresolved. In October 2025, the former employee contacted our office to address the matter. After reviewing the records, the district worked with the employee and her attorney to reach ana agreement that resolves this issue. The settlement ensures the employee receives the amount that should have been contributed in 2023, along with any applicable adjustments. The settlement has been reviewed by legal counsel and the Superintendent and is in compliance with applicable laws and board policies. The Superintendent and Finance Department recommend that the Board approve the settlement agreement to finalize this matter, and approval of this agreement is requested at this time.

Approval is requested to ratify the district's engagement of Energy Tax Savers, Inc. to assist with filing for the Solar and Geothermal tax credit related to the Bernheim Middle School project. This engagement includes the preparation and submission of all required tax documents on behalf of the district. Due to the strict federal filing deadline of November 15, 2025, it was necessary for the Superintendent to execute the agreement prior to the next regular board meeting to ensure the district did not miss the filing window. Execution of this agreement allows Energy Tax Savers, Inc. to proceed with the necessary work to prepare and file the tax documentation in a timely manner. This engagement is classified as a professional service, and the associated costs are outlined in the attached proposal documents. It is recommended that the Board of Education ratify the Superintendent's prior execution of the professional service agreement with Energy Tax Savers, Inc. and approve the engagement as presented.

This request is to update the acreage noted with the surplus and sale of the 300 E. Joe B. Hall Avenue, initially approved in September of 2024. Bell-Farris conducted an appraisal of the property, determining the property to be approximately 11.2 acres. This acreage included the existing maintenance building and reflected the entire property. Since the appraisal, a survey and division of tracts was conducted. Tract 1, which will be retained by Bullitt County Board of Education, is listed at 1.436 acres. The acreage to be sold, noted as Tract 2 on the plat, has been updated to reflect approximately 10.24 acres. I am requesting Board approval of the new plat which will allow for the modification of the BG-1 and prepare closing documents that accurately reflect the property to be sold. This information will be uploaded in FACPAC upon approval. I recommend approval of this request. Attachments: updated plat
