During its September meeting, the Ohio County School Board approved the 2016 working budget and an emergency amendment to its employee dress code policy. — The Chief Financial Officer for Ohio County Schools, Brian Decker, went over the working budget for Fiscal Year 2016. While the school board members received a detailed breakdown, there were some areas Decker wanted to highlight. The total budget for Fiscal Year 2016 is $48.9 million, which is $3.3 million larger than the Fiscal Year 2015 budget. The $3.3 million came from an increase in SEEK funding, federal funds and state funding. The budget includes $6 million in “on behalf” payments. According to the Kentucky Department of Education’s website, “Various state agencies make payments on behalf of school districts for the employer’s portion of health benefits, Kentucky Teachers’ Retirement System (KTRS), technology, debt services, and Kentucky Inter-local School Transportation Association (KISTA) energy savings capital leases. Districts issue federal reimbursement payments to the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) for the employer’s portion of health benefits that were initially paid by the department for federally funded district employees.” Decker said the “on behalf” payments was something new this year. Of the $48.9 million working budget, $30 million is salaries, which is about 61 percent of the total budget. The School District’s contingency is 6.7 percent. Last year, contingency was 4.9 percent. The contingency is the amount of cash set aside for an emergency. The state requires each school district have at least 2 percent contingency. After Decker’s presentation, the board approved the working budget for Fiscal Year 2016 unanimously. — Also on the agenda for the school board was an emergency first and second reading to amend an employee dress code policy on piercings. When Scott Lewis became Ohio County Schools Superintendent in 2010, he and the board addressed the student policy on piercings. At the time, students could have piercings of the eyebrow, nose, ears, etc. Upon Lewis’ recommendation, the board changed the policy to only allow piercings of a student’s ear. While there were some complaints, the policy was adhered to by the students. Over the 12 months, Lewis said there had been a few issues with classified employees and piercings. Under the current policy, if those employees were students, they would not be able to have the piercings. The employees were asked to take out the piercings and they did so with little complaint. Lewis thought the board should have the same policy for its employees as it did its students. “If we’re asking our kids not to do it, then they get out of school and see the school bus driver doing it, what kind of message is that sending?” Lewis asked. The school board members agreed with Lewis. Both the first and second readings of the policy amendment were approved unanimously. The employee policy on piercings now reflected the students' policy.
