Danville, KY, 05/16/2024 - The Boyle County Board of Education is proud to announce the
approval of a 3% salary increase for all district staff. This decision reflects the Board's commitment
to maintaining Boyle County as one of the highest-paid districts in the state, ensuring that we
attract and retain the best educators and support staff for our students.

Despite the legislative passage of a 4% increase in the Support Education Excellence in Kentucky
(SEEK) funding, the additional funds only supported a 1.5% pay raise. Boyle County Schools have
managed to achieve this significant raise through prudent financial management and being
exceptional stewards of taxpayer dollars. Through careful financial management and strategic
planning, the district has maintained a healthy fund balance, allowing the prioritization and
investment in staff compensation. Since 2018, Boyle County has achieved a total of 16% in pay
increases for its staff.

"We are dedicated to recognizing and rewarding the hard work and dedication of our staff," said
Mark Wade, Superintendent of Boyle County Schools. "Our educators and support personnel are
the backbone of our district. By offering competitive salaries and an outstanding culture, we aim
to ensure that Boyle County remains a top destination for talented educators."
In addition to the staff salary increase, the Board also approved an extensive extra service salary
schedule. The enhanced schedule supports a wide range of extracurricular programs, further
enriching the educational experiences within our district.
The Boyle County Board of Education remains steadfast in its mission to deliver high-quality
education and support for all students. By investing in our staff and expanding extracurricular
opportunities, we are building a brighter future for our district and community.

Danville, KY, 04/25/2024 - Boyle County is excited to announce the upcoming opening of the Boyle County Early Learning Center (BCELC)* located at 410 E Main St, in the Jennie Rogers Community Center this July. Operating under the umbrella of Boyle County Schools and in partnership with the city of Danville, the center aims to provide a nurturing and safe environment that fosters cognitive, social, and physical development in young learners in the Danville/Boyle County Community.

Equipped with six classrooms that will serve children ages 6 weeks to 5 years old, the BCELC is dedicated to laying the foundation for academic success. The center's curriculum has been thoughtfully crafted to prepare children for the transition into Kindergarten. "We're excited to provide a holistic approach to early childhood education," said Tonia Darnell, Director of the BCELC. "Our goal is to create a nurturing environment where children can thrive academically, socially and emotionally."

The fully renovated facility boasts a range of amenities designed to enhance the learning experience. From a fully fenced playground to an indoor gross motor room and thoughtfully designed classrooms, every aspect of the center has been meticulously planned to promote exploration and discovery. Safety is a top priority, with features including controlled access, surveillance cameras throughout the premises, and adherence to both state childcare and school regulations.

Boyle County Early Learning Center Fee Structure:

One-time Registration Fee: $50
Tuition Rate: $175 per week
Food Fee: $15 per week (Parents have the option to send in their child’s meals rather than purchase meals from the BCELC.)
Late Pick-up Fee: $40 (This fee will apply when children remain in the care of BCELC staff ten minutes after the official closing time.)

Enrollment for the Boyle County Early Learning Center opens on June 3rd, offering prospective families an opportunity to secure a place for their child in this dynamic learning environment.
