The Wayne County Board of Education is proposing to keep its General Fund tax rates unchanged from the previous year at 42.5 cents on real property and 48.6 cents on personal property. Although the tax rates would remain the same, increased property values and new property are expected to generate approximately $297,000 in additional revenue for the district. The additional funds would support instruction, facilities, transportation, maintenance and collection costs.

The Wayne County Board of Education held its regular monthly meeting on August 20, proposing tax rates that remain unchanged from last year and approving an amended 2026-2027 school calendar using the variable calendar option. The board also approved several facility renovation proposals, payments related to the Walker Early Learning Center project, Local Planning Committee members, and updates to special education procedures.

Walker Early Learning Center has earned a Kentucky All STARS Level 5 designation, the highest quality rating for early childhood programs in the state. The recognition highlights the school’s commitment to strong instruction, family partnerships, professional growth, and high-quality preschool experiences.
