The Levy County School District Board meeting on October 27, 2026, included procurement approvals for Career and Technical Education projects funded by the state’s competitive Workforce Capitalization Incentive (CAP) grant. The board approved All American Fence for cattle-working facilities serving three schools and Nelson’s Metals for structural work at $99,800, with a 10% contingency; a second-ranked contractor was identified as an alternate for the structural work. Electrical and plumbing bids were also discussed, including Nature Coast Electric as the electrical recommendation and Qualified Plumbers at $14,700 plus a 10% contingency for plumbing. The transcript does not clearly capture final board action on those latter recommendations. The projects include animal-science infrastructure upgrades and a renovated aquaculture lab at Cedar Key. The board also approved an increase of $7 per paycheck in the employee-only health insurance contribution, effective in January; staff estimated the district’s additional contribution at about $441,000 for the remaining six months of the year, with a substantially higher annual cost. The district reported projected general-fund spending about $2.35 million above revenue and discussed the need to address declining reserves and self-insurance costs.

The board also discussed replacing its benefits reimbursement administrator after problems with the current vendor, but no selection was made. A request for information was suggested as a possible process for identifying legal counsel after the district’s current counsel’s departure; no hiring decision was recorded. Staff requested approval to advertise a proposed amendment to Policy 4.141 concerning the USDA nondiscrimination statement, but the transcript does not record the outcome of that request.
