On Thursday, March 14, both the Barren County and Caverna boards of education are set to convene in their respective regularly scheduled monthly meetings to discuss and handle the business of their districts.
The Barren County Board of Education with its five members and Superintendent Bo Matthews are scheduled to call the Thursday’s meeting to order at 5:30 p.m. Though the agenda is quite lengthy with 13 items, the bulk of it are change orders for “Barren County High Various Projects.”
In total there are 12 change orders up for consideration. By far the most costly of which is change order #017 which costs $27, 772 for “cost[s] associated with 8” CMU for two storage rooms and one bathroom.” The other change orders concern furnishing rubber flooring instead of carpet in the press box, repairing a broken water line, “toilet accessories,” additional storage, “cost[s] associated with providing gypsum board systems for additional bath/storage gym mezzanine” and additional fire suppression systems.
Among the 12 orders are two deductions both of which refer to “deleting toilet accessories.”
Also on the Barren County agenda is approval to convene the District Finance Corporation, which has the same members of that board as are on the school board.
After a return to the school meeting is the approval of closed session as allowed by Kentucky Revised Statute 61.810 that allows a closed session for “discussions of proposed or pending litigation against or on behalf of the public agency.”

The Caverna Independent School Board of Education is also set to call their meeting to order at 5 p.m. with a agenda of seven items. Most are a staple of most other agendas such as public comments, bus inspections and school wide fundraisers and field trips.
Among those seven items is the approval of the 2024-2025 school calendar. As previously reported, the district had the first reading on the calendar where the board members chose option A and its 173 instructional days.
