Monticello — Patty Roberts has been re-elected as chairperson and Donna Blevins has
been re-elected as vice-chairperson for the Wayne County Board of Education.
The elections were held during the board meeting held on Thursday, January
14, which marked the first meeting of 2010 for the school board.
The board agreed to continue to hold its regular monthly meetings on the
third Monday of each month, unless that Monday is a holiday. Then meetings
would be held the Thursday prior to the third Monday. The regular meeting
time will be 6 p.m.
Also during the meeting, the board reviewed and approved the $14,057,347
draft budget for the 2010-2011 school year. This budget is the same as the
current year's budget and will be updated as financial projections are
released by the Kentucky Department of Education and the Kentucky General
Assembly.
The members of the Wayne County Board of Education were recognized with
certificates for the many contributions they make to the district. This was
part of January's Board Recognition Month that is sponsored by the Kentucky
School Board Association (KSBA).
A banner created by the Arts and Humanities High School class was
displayed during the meeting. The banner will be hung at the KSBA Annual
Convention to be held in Louisville later this month.
Also during the meeting, the board celebrated 60 different instructional
programs, learning initiatives and popular student activities happening on
the campus. Many of these activities were included in the annual School
Report Cards for the 2008-2009 school year, which document important data
about the school district each year. These report cards were reviewed by
board members.
