Letcher County School Board June, 22 2026

The Letcher County Board of Education held its regular meeting on June 22, 2026, focusing on various administrative and operational updates. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of a Memorandum of Agreement with the Baron County Board of Education for financial services support, approval of rental agreements for after-school daycare and food pantry operations, and authorization for the superintendent to make necessary hiring decisions to ensure a smooth start to the school year. The board also reviewed financial reports detailing fund balances and expenditures, including bond receipts for roof projects at local schools. Additionally, policy updates were discussed, notably a legal change permitting the purchase of 10-passenger vans for student transportation, which could impact future vehicle procurement.
