Good Afternoon Stephens Parents and Guardians,
We are committed to keeping our school community informed about important legislation impacting student safety. Recently, SB 73 (KRS 531.125) was enacted, which addresses the distribution and possession of matter portraying a sexual performance by a minor. This law is designed to help protect students and ensure responsible use of technology and media.
Tomorrow 4th and 5th grade students will be bringing home a student letter in a sealed envelope regarding this law. We ask that you take time to review the information together as a family. It is important that both parents and students understand the expectations outlined in this legislation and where to turn for support if your child becomes a victim to sextortion.
Thank you for your support in promoting a safe and positive learning environment for all students. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please feel free to reach out to our office or email eric.blankenship@boone.kyschools.us
Sincerely,
Eric Blankenship

Boone County Schools is launching a new mobile app to help students, parents, and community members know
what is happening on campus from their phones. Most families use their phones as a primary
means of communication, so we've created an app that is custom-built to your school for
smartphones. On the app, your students, parents, and community can read the latest
announcements, locate staff contact information, review upcoming events, and find important
documents. The Boone County Schools, KY app is available to download free from the Apple App Store or the Google
Play store.
