Regular Meeting of the Board of Trustees - October 15, 2026

LexingtonTwo Board of Trustees regular meeting, October 15, 2026. The board approved a $25,000 donation from Sodexo and the Sodexo Stop Hunger Foundation for Lex2Eats, a student weekend-food initiative. The funds are allocated 60% to subsidized weekend food kits through Harvest Hope Food Bank, 35% to school pantries and holiday family boxes, and 5% to grants and community drives. Fulmer Middle School presented a proposed $53,350 investment to support its destination-school plan, including $15,000 annually for professional development; this was discussed but not brought forward for approval, and administrators said destination-school funding would be planned alongside other district priorities. The board also approved an out-of-state overnight trip for L2IC cosmetology students to attend Premier Anaheim in California, February 6–9, 2027; no cost was stated.

The board received proposed revisions to the Performing Arts Center community-use rental guide, intended to update fees and reflect new equipment and services; staff said they would seek legal advice on insurance language and consider clarifying the board’s right to deny facility use. The guide was informational and no vote was taken. The board approved four new course codes and the 2027–28 course guide, but no related purchasing decision was identified. No contract awards, RFPs, or bid approvals were discussed. Other actions included approval of a second reading of student disciplinary-hearing policy revisions and a first reading of paid parental leave revisions to align with state law.
