August 25 2026 Regular Board Meeting

The Clark County Public Schools Board held its regular meeting on August 25, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related matters were discussed and approved. Key procurement actions included approval of change orders for construction projects such as sprinkler hood relocation and roof joist reinforcement at Somerset County and RDC facilities, with costs detailed (e.g., $76,885 for sprinkler hood relocation). The board also approved a contract with Amazing Opportunity of Lexington LLC, a mental health agency providing services to students with trauma histories. Financial updates highlighted the use of bond funds for buses and capital projects, with a discussion on budget rollover and expenditures. The board approved the 2026 tax rates, including a real and personal property rate of 65.4 cents, motor vehicle rate of 53.5 cents, and utility rate of 3%, to support operational and capital needs, including staff raises and inflationary costs. Policy updates on non-resident student and transportation policies were also approved. The meeting included recognition of various school programs and community collaborations but focused heavily on fiscal stewardship and capital improvement projects.
