LC Schools Local Planning Committee Meeting Summary
January 12, 2023
The Local Planning Committee held its third and final Public Forum on January 12, 2023, at 5:00 PM at the LCHS in Louisa, KY. There were no community members in attendance.
The Local Planning Committee meeting was held directly after the public forum on Thursday, January 12, 2023. Dr. Fletcher thanked the committee members for their attendance at all the meetings throughout the process. Mr. Matt Maynard, Chair, called the LPC meeting to order at 5:33 PM. The floor was given to Dr. Fletcher to discuss the final District Facilities Plan (DFP) update, with the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) recommendations. The DFP plan was sent to John Gilbert at KDE and the plan was returned to LC Schools with priority changes and/or recommendations. A rule that the LPC was not aware of, was the fact that if a building is not greater than thirty years old (built by 1988), then it cannot be listed in the Priority 1 section of the plan. Some items listed on the plan were recategorized into different sections of the plan due to this rule, but there were no building projects cut by KDE. “There were no items removed from the plan by the Kentucky Department of Education, which is not always the case,” was a statement provided by Mr. Paul Christy. Mr. Christy is the KY School Plant Manager Association, who is currently assisting LC Schools with their DFP plan.
Louisa West Elementary School is still in the Priority 1 section of the plan, with the recommendation of a new building. The greatest change to the plan is with Blaine Elementary School. A new cafeteria may be constructed, instead of a new gymnasium. Another change to the plan by KDE was with Louisa West Elementary School. LWES will become a preschool through the second-grade school. Also, KDE will only allow for two preschool classrooms, but four additional classrooms may be added through funding by LIPSA. The Louisa Middle School building’s major renovation will still include a complete roof replacement. The rest of the District Facilities Plan remained relatively the same.
Once all the Local Planning Committee members reviewed the final draft of the District Facilities Plan, a roll-call style vote was taken by Mr. Maynard. The Local Planning Committee members include Jim See, Neil Wilson, Darrell Combs, Chuck Price, LaKeisha Huff, Matt Maynard, Shawn Jennings, Teresa Prince, Ed Dixon, Heather Frazier, Jessica Helton, and Thomas Burns. All LPC members unanimously voted yes, to the final draft of the District Facilities Plan. The meeting ended with a motion to adjourn made by Mr. See and a second was provided by Mr. Dixon. The DFP will be on the agenda for acceptance at the Lawrence County School Board Meeting on Tuesday, January 17, 2023, at 6:00 PM in the library of the Lawrence County High School. All community members are always encouraged and invited to attend all LC Schools Board Meetings.
