Kenton County School District will soon be moving their offices from Fort Wright to Covington.

LINK spoke with Kenton County School District officials Jessica Dykes, Director of Public Information and Community Engagement, and Matt Rigg, Chief Operations Officer, ahead of the opening to see what’s in store for the community.

“We’ll move in at the end of December, and our target date is to be open for business on Jan. 5, 2026,” Dykes said.

The new office is at the intersection of Madison Pike and Tuscany View Drive in Covington. That’s less than 2 miles from its current location in Fort Wright. It will include a parking lot for staff and visitors.

This building will also give Kenton County School District more room than ever before.

“The biggest benefit of this new office is that it can actually accommodate all of our staff,” Rigg said. “Right now, we’re having to send some of our people to use school classroom space. We’re excited to return that space to the schools and to the students.”

Additionally, the new building will serve as a Virtual Learning Center for Kenton County Schools (the county has a robust virtual learning program which students can attend full-time) and it will include a dedicated virtual learning classroom, along with meeting spaces.

The school district financed their new office building with general obligation bonds.
