Any info on Boone County Schools, KY???

I know this is the Indian chatboard but since Kentucky is
so close to you and it seems like most people do not look
at the chatboard in KY I figured this would be a good
place to ask...

I'm looking for the some info on Boone County schools,
KY...I talked with HR on the phone who said that a
Bachelor's at a step O makes $36,045. This seems very high
for KY as they are almost at the bottom of the pay scale
for the whole country, so I was wondering what it might
come out to after taxes or if this price is not including
benefits like health care, as this would make the salary
considerably less. I find it very hard to believe that
they pay that much. I would appreciate ANY INFO on the
school district as well. THANK YOU THANK YOU!!

As with the last poster, I agree that Boone County is one of the
best public school systems in Northern Kentucky.

On the salary figure, Kentucky mandated a pay raise statewide
last year and so teacher salaries have gone up a little this
year.

The figure they quoted you does seem to be a a littl...See More

I am three years late to thus convo but stumbled across it while searching for something else. I'm responding b/c I believe a lot of people do stumble on it still.

I'm not a teacher--I'm a parent with two kids in the Boone county schools. But my grandfather was the superintendant of elementary schools in Lousiville when I was growing up, and my aunt was a third grade teacher, so I have been around school admin and teachers all my life. I can do nothing but absolutely RAVE about the Boone schools. Our school is horribly overcrowded--more than 1300 kids in an elementary built for 700. But that is due to no fault of the school--state funding sucks. They even built an addition three years ago and so many people moved into the area that within a year it was overcrowded again. Still, even with that you don't notice a change in the quality of education or the caring of the educators.

My son has Asperger's. Normally you'd expect me to tell you all the battles I've had with the school. I can't do that, because they're virtually non-existent. He has processing issues? Let's do this. Sensory issues? We will do this. Needs an aide? Sure. A scribe for fourth grade portfolios? Okay. Did I mention they were the ones suggesting the solutions? Not me in there demanding services, fighting or having to prove he deserved them over someone else? No. When presented with an issue, they are proactive in finding the solution. And from what I hear from other parents they have similar experiences. My son is also gifted--and they have programs for him in that too. My daughter struggles with verbal learning, preferring a more visual, hands on method like a Montessori. They have that too.

My children's teachers are well-trained, well beyond what your degree gives you. I not only hear about the great training seminars they provide in specialty areas (like sensory issues in the classroom) but I also see the results as the teachers are also given the tools to implement what they are trained in.

No school system is perfect, but as a parent I can tell you that this one does an amazing job. There's a reason why this area is the fastest growing in Cincinnati--and the growth is mostly with young families. The schools are the best! I can't speak to pay, but having grown up around the other side of the equation, I can't believe they'd be horrible to work for if the parents and students are this happy! If the teachers were unhappy, it would show in the students and elsewhere.
