The Lincoln County Board of Education approved a 2% raise for all employees and overhauled the salary schedule for administrators, after making adjustments to resolve gaps in their salary schedule. The Lincoln County School District’s certified pay rate currently ranks 145^th out of 173 school districts in Kentucky. The Phase II Salary Increase brings their ranking to 128^th. The Phase II Salary Increase takes effect for the 2019-2020 school year.

Employees for Lincoln County Schools have not received a raise since the state mandated 2% raise in 2015-16. Last year the Lincoln County Board of Education adopted board goals, one of which was to attract, recruit, and retain high-quality administrators, teachers and staff through salary increases.  

Superintendent Michael Rowe states that the District has made a number of difficult decisions which have ultimately placed the school district in a position to express our commitment to our employees; all employees. “The salary committee evaluated surrounding school districts’ salaries and made recommendations to address the deficiencies.  We want our employees to know we value them, we value their hard work, and we want our employees to stay at Lincoln County Schools.  Staff retention has been an issue in this district since I came on board and I am excited to work for a Board who understands the value experienced staff bring to student learning.  In order to be the best, we must have a progressive vision. Our new Board is committed to making Lincoln County Schools the best.”

All parents K-12:

You recently received a letter in the mail with the information to set up your “Parent Portal Account” (this is DIFFERENT from the “Student Portal Account” your child uses. Online Enrollment is not accessible through the Student Portal).

ONLY parents who DO NOT already have a Parent Portal account will receive a letter in the mail.

The Parent Portal Account will give you access to ALL of your children enrolled in Lincoln County School and will be where you will access all of the student information through graduation (be sure to write down the username and password). Once your account is set up, you will find a link on that page to begin the Online Registration process for the 19-20 school year.

If you already have a Parent Portal Account, you are welcome to go ahead and register your children for the 2019-2020 school year.

IMPORTANT: You will NOT receive your child’s homeroom assignment or schedule until they are officially enrolled for the upcoming school year. Online Enrollment MUST be completed by July 1st to ensure processing time and placement in classes.

If you have any questions, difficulties, or do not have access to computer/internet, as always, we are happy to help you through this process. Please contact your child’s school.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation with this new technology.

At the May 9, 2019 Special Called Board Meeting, the Board of Education approved 1:1 Non-Resident Contracts.

In the past, many school districts entered into open Non-Resident Contracts with surrounding districts since the number of students exchanged were approximately the same. But when one district siphons off a significantly larger number of children, the other district takes a financial hit. The state funding, called Support Education Excellence in Kentucky, or SEEK, goes with the student.

The outflow of students from Lincoln County is costing Lincoln County thousands of dollars in SEEK funding at about $4,400 per student.

The new Non-Resident Contracts stipulate that students will be accepted/released between the districts at a ratio of 1:1.

All previously approved releases will be grandfathered in.

There are no exceptions to the newly approved Non-Resident Contracts. All decisions will be made using the ratio of 1:1. Surrounding school districts can accept as many students as it chooses but the SEEK funding will not follow the student unless it falls within the 1:1 ratio. Of course, parents/guardians still have the option of paying tuition to attend surrounding districts.

Lincoln County Middle School would like to provide parents, community, and other stakeholders more information about the Summit Learning Program that LCMS has implemented this school year with one team of students and will be implementing in the fall of 2019-2020 for all students. Please click on the videos to learn more about the program and the research behind the program. Please watch all videos and complete the feedback survey provided under Read More....  There is a video for Summit Overview Module 1 and Module 2, "Why go Schoolwide" Module 1 and Module 2, Summit Mentoring and Personal Learning Time, Summit Student Work, and Summit Moving Forward. There is also a Q and A Part 1 and Part 2 posted now in response to the Summit Learning Parent Survey that has been completed.
