Summary

Superintendent reported the governor said the state will cover an $80,000 SEEK funding shortfall the district had expected and the district will offer free sports physicals for grades 2–12 on Feb. 17 at the high school.

During the superintendent's report at the Feb. 13 special meeting, district leadership told the board that the governor announced coverage of a previously announced SEEK funding shortfall that had threatened about $80,000 in district revenue.

"The governor did say that they would cover the shortfall," the superintendent reported, adding that the district had expected to lose up to $80,000 and that the governor's action means the district will not lose those funds. The superintendent said the Kentucky Department of Education may still seek additional funds from the General Assembly for other discretionary projects, but the immediate SEEK shortfall is covered.

The superintendent also reminded the board that the district will host free sports physicals for grades 2–12 on Monday, Feb. 17, at Rowan County Senior High School.

Board members received the update and acknowledged emails and information about the potential shortfall before the governor's announcement.
