In total, seventeen school and district personnel are scheduled to be recognized, according to the agenda. Among them are a few expected retirees like Cynthia York, director of special programs, who announced her retirement at the April 19 meeting, and Superintendent Bo Matthews, but there others that were hitherto unknown. The others are:
Barren County High School – Sharon Young, Josephy Jay Turner, Todd Steenbergen and Roger Reece.
Barren County Middle School – Monisa Philbeck

Also on the agenda is a plethora of positions that require approval. In total there are 19 positions to be put before the board on May 9. Most all deal with Barren Beyond the Bell, Little Learners or after school positions.
The agenda also includes the approval of the next school year’s tentative budget, approval of for bid and three contracts, and improvements to the soccer field by the central office.
