The Caverna Independent School District Board of Education will meet Thursday, July 10, at 5 p.m. at the central office in Cave City, with a full agenda focused on preparations for the upcoming school year.
In addition to routine recognitions and consent items—including bus inspections, finance reports, and staff travel—the board will consider approvals for the 2025–2026 student handbooks across all school levels. Updates to the district’s student code of conduct are also on the table.
Superintendent Amanda Abell will recommend updates to ARC Chairperson designees, covering leadership roles such as principals, counselors and special education coordinators. The board will also vote on updated stipends for a high school sponsor position, along with the district’s use of the state’s Data Security and Breach Notification Best Practice Guide.
Communication systems are expected to expand as the board considers district-wide approval of platforms like Apptegy, Google Workspace for Education, district email accounts, and the PBIS Rewards Family App.
Personnel reports will be shared via the district’s digital drive, and public comment will be heard following the invocation and pledge of allegiance. The meeting will conclude with adjournment after final votes are cast.
