Board Meeting 7-28-26

The Fayette County Board of Education meeting on July 28, 2026, included updates on school services, event operations, and construction of the new elementary school. The board received an update that Bento had been approved as the dental administrative services provider, effective July 1, 2026. A substitute nurse supplied through a contract agency is expected to continue serving the school that lacked a permanent nurse; no contract amount was stated. The extracurricular committee discussed adopting GoFan for digital event tickets, while retaining cash and card lines for concessions. No procurement vote or contract dollar amount was clearly identified in the transcript.

The new elementary school was expected to be ready for students on the first day of school, pending fire-marshal approval for occupancy. Construction updates covered water service, kitchen equipment, casework, sidewalks, paving, and other finishing work; an engineered retaining wall was also being planned, with materials expected to have a five-week lead time. The board also discussed fees starting in the fall for eligible non-public-school students participating in athletics or taking courses: $452.97 per sport and $776.52 per course annually, with course fees billed quarterly. These were discussed as a school-year policy and fee implementation, not as a procurement award.
