Meade County Board Meetings, School Calendar & Office Help
The Meade County Board of Education governs Meade County Schools in Brandenburg, Kentucky. Local families typically need one practical route: the current Board meeting, the 2026–27 school calendar, enrollment documents, a school contact, transportation help, employment information or the central office.
Meade County is useful because the district publishes its regular Board schedule for the entire school year, including the school hosting each meeting. This guide keeps those meeting details separate from the student calendar and day-to-day school services.
Meade County Board of Education at a glance
Meade County School District serves the Brandenburg, Ekron, Flaherty, Payneville and surrounding Meade County communities. The district office, Board administration, student enrollment and many districtwide services use the central Meade County Schools website.

County-office distinction: this page covers Meade County Schools. Property taxes, county permits, court business and fiscal-court services belong to other Meade County government offices, not the Board of Education.
Meade County Board of Education meetings for 2026–27
Meade County publishes a complete school-year Board schedule. Regular monthly meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month at 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The meeting site rotates among district schools, so do not automatically drive to the central office.

Time-zone detail: the district page describes regular meetings as 6:00 p.m. EST / 5:00 p.m. CST. Meade County’s local meeting schedule should be treated as a 6:00 p.m. Eastern meeting; use the live district notice for any date-specific change.
Special-called meetings and hearings can differ. The 2026 agenda archive includes special-called meetings and a tax hearing in addition to regular monthly meetings, so the regular calendar is not the only Board activity.

How to find a Meade County Board agenda
Meade County maintains a document archive for regular agendas and separately labels special-called meetings. That distinction matters when you are checking a Board action, public hearing or meeting that did not follow the regular second-Tuesday format.
Open the official agenda archive
Use the district document library instead of searching for an isolated PDF by month.
Match the correct month and meeting type
The archive can contain a regular agenda, special-called agenda or public-hearing document in the same period.
Use the agenda before the meeting
The agenda is useful for the planned order of business, finance items, personnel actions, reports and public-comment placement.
Do not treat an agenda as final action
An item appearing on the agenda does not by itself prove it was approved. Use the later official meeting record when confirmation matters.

Meade County Schools calendar: important dates
The Board approved the 2026–27 school calendar in November 2025. The district said releasing it early helped families and staff plan while the Meade County High School construction project continues.

| Aug. 4 | Contract Work Day | No regular student classes. |

| May 14 | Closing Day for Teachers | Staff closing day. |

Calendar caution: May 13 is the published last student day, but make-up days are reserved afterward. Recheck the live district calendar when the date affects vacation, childcare, testing or work leave.
Construction context: Meade County said early release of the 2026–27 calendar helps coordinate continuing construction work at Meade County High School. School-specific traffic or campus notices may therefore matter in addition to the district calendar.
Schools in Meade County School District
The district’s current About page lists eight main schools, ranging from Pre-K primary programs through Meade County High School. Elementary attendance areas are residence-based, so a new family should not assume the closest elementary building is automatically the assigned school.
School issue or Board issue? Attendance, classroom communication, pickup changes, school activities and daily student questions usually start with the school. Policy, Board action and public Board meetings belong with the Board route.
How to register a student in Meade County Schools
Meade County uses online registration, but the correct workflow depends on whether the family already has a student enrolled. New families start a new-family enrollment application, while current families add students through their existing Infinite Campus Parent Portal household.
New to Meade County Schools
Complete the district’s new-family online application. Elementary attendance areas are determined by residence. If you do not know the correct K–6 school, call Central Office at 270-422-7500.
Already have a student enrolled
Log into Infinite Campus Parent Portal, choose More → Online Registration or Annual Update → New Student Registration, then add the new student to the household.
Choose new-family or current-family registration
A student who attended Meade County previously but did not finish the last school year in the district should be enrolled as a new student.
Complete the online application
Work through each household and student section. Required documents can be uploaded during the process.
Contact the school after submission
The district says families should contact the school to finish enrollment and provide any required documents that were not uploaded.
Preschool families wait for screening contact
After a preschool application is submitted, the district says the family will receive a call regarding a screening appointment.
Document rules families commonly miss
Keep enrollment records private: birth certificates, medical forms, immunization certificates and proof-of-residence documents should only be uploaded through the official district system or provided directly to the school.
Meade County preschool eligibility and required documents
Preschool enrollment occurs year-round. The district lists income-based eligibility for qualifying four-year-olds and eligibility for three- and four-year-olds with a disability or developmental delay.
Who may qualify?
Four-year-olds whose family income is no more than 160% of the poverty guideline, plus three- and four-year-olds with qualifying disabilities or developmental delays.
Screening areas
The district lists cognitive, motor, language, social/emotional and self-help/adaptive development among preschool screening areas.
Infinite Campus, annual forms and 2026–27 free meals
Meade County moved beginning-of-year family forms online. Families complete the required household paperwork through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal rather than repeating paper packets for each child.
Infinite Campus
Current families use Parent Portal for registration and the Annual Update process.
One household submission
The district says beginning-of-year forms can be completed once per household, including families with multiple students.
2026–27 meals
Meade County says every district student receives free breakfast and lunch throughout the 2026–27 school year.
Why the forms still matter when meals are free: the district says household forms also support school health services, yearbook/event permissions and programs that benefit students. Do not skip the annual update simply because meal charges are waived.
Meade County school bus questions
Transportation questions should be routed through the district or the student’s school rather than individual Board members. Recent district information identifies Travis Scott as Director of Transportation and Grounds.
District transportation leadership
Travis Scott moved from Ekron Elementary administration into the Director of Transportation and Grounds role.
For a same-day change
Contact the student’s school directly. School-specific cutoff times may apply to afternoon transportation changes, so do not rely on a general Board office call near dismissal.
Route privacy and freshness: use current family/school transportation information for student-specific stops. Bus assignments can change and should not be copied from an old social-media post or screenshot.
Meade County Board of Education jobs
Meade County Schools uses a dedicated Join Our Team workflow. Current vacancy categories include teaching, substitutes, bus drivers, food service, instructional assistants and other school/district positions.
Apply online
Use the current district employment application rather than a copied job-board listing.
Connect with the district
The employment page explains the district’s follow-up process after application.
Complete onboarding if hired
The district treats application, job offer and onboarding as separate stages.

Use the live Meade County Schools source before acting on a Board meeting, agenda, calendar change, enrollment requirement, school assignment, bus arrangement, job posting or district policy. Official district information takes priority if a detail changes after this guide is updated.
