September 14, 2026 - Call to Order (6 PM), Welcoming, Invocation, Pledge & School Board Spotlights

The September 14, 2026 LexRich5 Board meeting opened with an invocation and pledge, followed by recognition of student and school achievements, including championship teams, SkillsUSA competitors, and high schools ranked among the top schools in the Columbia metro area. The board also noted the district’s classroom-pod design, where partial walls separate groups of five classrooms, and expressed support for enclosing those spaces to create more contained classrooms and improve the learning environment. No contract awards, vendors, dollar amounts, procurement approvals, or spending-related votes were identified in the transcript.
