Board approves consent items, donates old scoreboard to county park and OKs rental agreement

The Letcher County Board of Education approved routine consent items and approved two related actions: donating an old baseball scoreboard to county parks and a facilities rental agreement for an AAU team.

During the consent agenda reading, the board listed items including a $0.42 mileage reimbursement rate (January–June), the MJP improvement plan and district plan addendum, USAC Form 470 technology submission, a one-year copier agreement, student accident insurance, an MOU with Western Kentucky University, and a list of overnight trips. Item 8 (a rental/facilities agreement) was pulled for separate consideration because Board member Bryce had an affiliation requiring an abstention.

Superintendent reported the district had installed a new scoreboard over the Christmas break and proposed donating the old scoreboard to the county for use at Ernest Cook Park where middle school teams play. A motion and second carried on a voice vote.

Later the board took up the pulled item (rental agreement) and after a motion and second approved the facilities agreement for the AAU team; the motion passed on a voice vote.

The board recorded approval of the consent items and these related actions and continued with business and finance reports.
