The Caverna Board of Education will convene Thursday for both a special-called meeting and its regularly scheduled monthly meeting, with members expected to address policy updates, end-of-year financial matters and several items previously tabled by the board.
The special-called meeting is scheduled for 4 p.m. at the Caverna Central Office, one hour before the regular meeting begins at 5 p.m.
According to the agenda, the special-called session will focus exclusively on district policies and procedures. Board members will participate in a working session regarding policy and procedure updates before considering the first reading of proposed policy revisions. No additional business is listed on the agenda.
The regular meeting will follow at 5 p.m. and includes a number of year-end administrative items as the district prepares for the upcoming 2026-27 school year.
Among the first actions scheduled is approval of the conferral of diplomas for members of the Caverna High School Class of 2026 who have completed all Kentucky graduation requirements.
Board members are also expected to consider insurance coverage for the 2026-27 fiscal year. Representatives are scheduled to present recommendations regarding workers’ compensation coverage through KEMI as well as cyber liability and pollution liability coverage options.
Additional financial items include consideration of a pledge of collateral agreement for public school funds, approval of the annual finance director fidelity bond and a proposal to raise the district’s capital asset federal threshold to $10,000.
The board will also revisit two items that were tabled during its May meeting. Members are scheduled to consider approval of the district’s Virtual Learning Handbook as well as supplemental salary schedules for the 2026-27 school year.
Several grant and facilities-related items are also on the agenda. The board is expected to approve amendments related to the district’s outdoor restroom project and formally close out the project through the state construction process.
Other items include approval of certified appeal board appointed panel members, federal program funding assurances and the district’s participation in the Community Eligibility Provision food service program.
The agenda also includes consideration of contracts for physical therapy, occupational therapy and orientation and mobility services.
Superintendent Amanda Abell’s report is scheduled to include staff and student recognitions as well as school and departmental presentations.
Both meetings will be held at the Caverna Central Office.
