The City of Hodgenville is requesting approval to remove the lift station power from the middle school service and install a new meter and service to the station. The city also requests permission to install the new electric service on the pole that is on the school property.  The city will assume the responsibility for the new electric bill.

LaRue County Middle School request permission to apply for the 2023 Brother's Run grant.  Brother's Run has a mission to improve mental health by finding your sources of strength in your life and to aid in suicide prevention.  It is similar to the mission of our Sources of Strength (SOS) club at the middle school.  The SOS club, if awarded, will use this money to fund club initiatives which could include family nights, club projects, informational materials, etc.  If granted, it will be a total of $3000.00 with no match required.  

The federal ERATE program that we currently participate in provides funding for internet services.  We currently receive 90% funding through this program, leaving the district with a 10% funding commitment.  ERATE will be allowing for WiFi on school buses in the upcoming 2024-25 school year.  We currently have hardware for WiFi on all school buses and will only need to turn the service on without any additional upfront costs.  WiFi on the buses will allow for any students who take home their Chromebooks access if needed while in transit.  The service also allows for the transportation dept. to track the location of the buses, improving safety as well as possible routing improvements.  

Contract between Good Night Communications, Caleb Phelps Creative Director, and LaRue County Board of Education for services relating to strategic communications. 

The contract term is for a 12-month period beginning  January 20, 2024 and ending December 20, 2024 at a total annual cost of $ 43,000 ($3,584. 00 monthly).

Updated H&W Dukes Sport Shop contract. The District (all groups, sports teams, schools, etc.) as a whole spent $190,224 in 2022 and $172,662 in 2023.

Updated Substitute Handbook.  Changes for FY2023-2024 were mainly names and contact information.
