What the Board’s 2026-27 budget and policy decisions mean for families.

How is Boyd County planning for 2026-27?

The Board approved a tentative budget with a 1% pay increase while planning around enrollment-linked state-funding pressure and staffing changes.

Boyd County’s Board oversees district schools and approved its FY2026-27 tentative budget in May. The minutes forecast $32.0 million in receipts, a $1.47 million projected beginning balance, and a 4–5% contingency. They also describe possible staffing reductions and a possible redistricting investigation as planning work, not final actions.

Graduation requirements changed

The Board adopted a rule requiring 24 credits, up from 22, beginning in 2026-27.

AI procedure was approved

The April action adds expectations for artificial-intelligence use by students and staff, but the minutes do not reproduce the detailed rules.

Superintendent contract runs through 2030

The Board approved William Boblett Jr.'s contract from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2030.

The minutes record budget assumptions and Board actions, but do not list every position, school, or attendance boundary that could be affected.
