The Caverna Independent School District Board of Education will meet for a special called session Thursday evening with personnel and administrative matters making up the bulk of the agenda.
The meeting is scheduled for 5 p.m. at Caverna Central Office. Following routine business such as approval of the agenda, public comment and the superintendent’s report, board members are expected to consider several items related to staffing and district operations.
One of the more notable action items would increase the elementary principal stipend to $9,000. The agenda does not specify whether the proposed adjustment applies immediately or how it compares to the current stipend, though board discussion may provide additional context.
Board members will also consider reclassifying the Central Office Manager/Enrollment position to Student Support and Safety Coordinator while adopting a new job description for the role.
The board is also slated to approve payroll dates for the 2026–27 school year and conduct a second reading of district policies and procedures.
The meeting is scheduled to conclude with a closed session for discussion of Superintendent Amanda Abell’s evaluation under Kentucky statutes permitting personnel discussions in private. After returning to open session, board members are expected to take possible action regarding the evaluation before adjournment.
