Budget Approval
The Rockcastle County Board of Education recently held a session to finalize the district's financial roadmap for the upcoming year. During the meeting, the board members voted unanimously to approve the working budget for the 2026-2027 academic cycle.
Financial Breakdown
The approved budget is reported at just over $53.8 million, with the general fund accounting for $38.4 million of that total. This allocation is intended to support ongoing educational operations and district-wide initiatives throughout the school year.
Fiscal Responsibility
In addition to the budget approval, the board accepted the House Bill 67 working budget report. Officials noted that the district maintains a contingency fund well above the state-mandated 2% minimum, signaling a stable financial position for the county's schools as they move forward with their academic goals.
