There was anonymous donation of $4000 to Abraham Lincoln Elementary School to help support the purchase of the Accelerated Reading Program. 

I would like to put a sidewalk from the football concession down to the baseball complex.

Concrete:         $1,875.00

It was mentioned that the District will cover the cost of materials including concrete and steel.

Request to install fence between the District property and Park and Recreation property.  The old fence was removed when the trees were removed.

This agreement is for calendar year 2025.

This would be an agreement between Lincoln Trail District Health Department and LaRue County Schools to provide a NaloxBox to LaRue County High School.  This is an "Opioid Rescue Kit" that is mounted on the wall and contains four doses of Naloxone (Narcan), a medication designed to reverse an opioid overdose.  Each box is equipped with a rescue-breathing mask, medical gloves, and step-by-step instructions.  

Item failed for lack of a motion.  The Board will revisit in March, pending additional information from Lincoln Trail Health District.

Board President Farrah Pruitt mentioned there will be a KYA student presentation at the regular board meeting.

I would like to create a position for a child care director.  This position is essential to moving forward with the child care and after school care option for LaRue County Schools.  I would need to hire this position to start in July 2025, so we would be eligible to apply for a child care license.  Following a discussion, the Board decided to revisit the item in April.

The Kentucky High School Athletic Association (KHSAA) eligibility rules state that participating schools must have in-place medical insurance with coverage limits up to the deductible of the KHSAA catastrophic insurance program and such insurance shall remain in force throughout participation.  It is the responsibility of each member school to insure and certify that each student has insurance coverage throughout the year. 

For the past several years, the board has chosen to insure all students with an accident policy.  Insuring all students with an accident policy gives the board coverage if an accident were to occur on school property or at a school-sponsored event.  The patient’s insurance (or student’s insurance) is primary, this policy is supplemental.  If the student does not have insurance, this policy becomes primary. 

Last year, 2025, the District cost for covering approximately 2400 (P-12) students was $42,934 for the basic accident coverage ($0-$25,000) and for catastrophic accident coverage ($25,000-$7,500,000).

The District's agent, Roberts Insurance, submitted three quotes for rates based on a two-year claims history and loss runs.  The quotes are attached for your review.  Zurich, current insurance provider, submitted a quote for the same cost: $42,934.
