Funding structure, how it compares to peers, and where major projects stand.
How Logan County funds operations and advances two major capital projects
Logan County combines local property taxes with Kentucky SEEK and other state support, federal and grant programs, food-service revenue and restricted capital sources. The public minutes record adopted actions but do not include the FY2027 budget workbook, audited expense totals, per-pupil actual spending or capital-project budgets, so those amounts remain explicit gaps.
A September motion proposed FY2027 rates of 46.5 cents for real property and 47.4 cents for personal property per $100
The September 4 minutes say the Board unanimously approved a second-reading motion proposing those rates and 46.0 cents per $100 for motor vehicles. The minutes do not contain a later adopted-rate record or projected receipts.
Voters will decide a 5.9-cent construction tax
The official November 3 ballot asks whether to levy 5.9 cents per $100 of assessed real and personal property value for safe, up-to-date school buildings that meet state standards.
The Logan CTC addition advanced from design through bid award
The Board approved BG-1 in December, BG-2 and preliminary BG-3 in February, construction documents and bidding in April, and a bid-award recommendation plus revised BG-1 on May 28. The reviewed minutes do not identify the selected contractor, project budget or funding mix.
The high-school addition and renovation moved into component closeout
The Board approved multiple change orders from October through July and processed five BG-4 forms in June plus five more in August. The minutes do not state the cumulative contract value, change-order amounts or remaining completion work.
The district accepted two matched KETS offers totaling $62,391
The Board accepted and matched $35,652 in October and $26,739 in March. These are technology-assistance offers with equal district transfers, not total technology spending.
September minutes confirm adoption of the FY2027 working budget but state no fund totals. The reviewed archive also lacks the audit report presented in February, so audited annual spending, fund balances and per-pupil actuals cannot be responsibly calculated from the available records.
