The Caverna Independent Board of Education has a regular meeting set for Tuesday, Oct. 13, beginning at 5 p.m. at the district's central office in Cave City. The agenda lists several items for the board to take up, and the public will have a chance to speak during the session.
One item asks whether the district should take part in the Kentucky Education Fund, which the article describes as a tax-credit scholarship program. The article notes that the agenda does not spell out what taking part would involve. The board will also look at change orders tied to construction work already underway, covering roof repairs, track upgrades and canopy work. In addition, members are slated to decide on accepting an offer of help through the Kentucky Education Technology Funding Program, which the article says supplies matching money so districts can buy and improve classroom technology.
The board is also scheduled to go over the district's dyslexia policy and plan, which covers how students who struggle with reading are identified and supported. Superintendent Amanda Abell is expected to honor students and staff. Other agenda matters include financial reports, bus inspections, grants and fundraising by schools. The article does not report any votes or outcomes, since the meeting had not yet happened.
