BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING - Oct 13 2026

The Lexington City Board of Education meeting was held October 13, 2026. The board approved the September 1 open-session minutes and September 16 special-meeting minutes, the consent agenda, and personnel recommendations. It received first readings of the 8,000-series budget and finance policy updates and 9,000-series building and maintenance policy updates; staff requested further review of policies 8330 and 9125, and no vote was taken on the first-read items. The finance report noted that the FY 2025–26 on-site audit review was complete, with the auditor’s reports expected by the end of October, and that state-approved staff bonuses would be paid in October payroll. A budget committee meeting is expected before December, likely in November.

Much of the meeting focused on the district’s 2025–26 academic accountability results, college and career readiness, and school improvement priorities. The board recognized staff, students, principals, and community partners. No contracts, bids, vendor selections, or capital-project spending approvals were identified; the policy reviews and financial updates were informational or preliminary rather than procurement actions.
