Marion County Public Schools

Parents of students in grades K-8 are invited to attend a meeting to help review the district’s Parent & Family Engagement Policy as a part of Title I. The meeting will take place Thursday, August 27 starting at 4:00 pm at the Board of Education building.


Title I is a federally funded program designed to ensure children have access to a high quality education and to help close the achievement gap. You can find the Parent & Family Engagement Policy along with more information on Title I here: https://www.marion.kyschools.us/page/title-i


Those who attend the meeting will also have the opportunity to provide feedback on Title IV, which is a federal program aimed at improving students’ academic achievement.

Reminder: Marion County High School will be open today (8-6-26) from 3:00-4:30 for incoming freshmen to tour the building. This is not the high school's Open House, which is scheduled for Aug. 10. Instead, this is an informal opportunity for students to find their classes and familiarize themselves with the high school before the start of school. Also, members of the MCPS Student Ambassadors will be on hand to give tours or answer questions.

Reminder: Our final summer meal distribution is today (8-5-26) from 4:00-6:00 at Glasscock Elementary.

Our final meal distribution for the summer is this Wednesday (8-5-26) from 4:00-6:00 at Glasscock Elementary. Make sure you stop by one final time and thank our school nutrition staff for all their work making our summer meal distribution such a huge success!

DID YOU KNOW: Because MCPS installed energy-efficient geothermal equipment at the new Calvary Elementary and because the equipment was American-made, the district received a rebate in excess of $1.8 million.

Those funds will now be put to use to help fund new playground equipment at all of the district’s elementary schools including adding a poured-in-place rubber surface, which is safer and more handicap and wheelchair accessible.

At the most recent Board of Education meeting, representatives from CMTA presented the district with a ceremonial check for the rebate.

LES Update: At last night’s Board of Education meeting, the board approved the schematic design for the new Lebanon Elementary School.

While there still may be a few small adjustments, here’s a look at the floor plan and site plan for new LES!
