July 20, 2026 - Call to Order (6 PM), Welcoming, Invocation, Pledge & School Board Spotlights

The July 20, 2026 LexRich5 school board meeting opened with an invocation and pledge, followed by school board spotlights introducing incoming principals Chad Raynor of Piney Woods Elementary, Anna Umbersaw of Chapin Middle School, and Gina Locklear of Harbison West Elementary. They discussed their plans for building on school communities, supporting staff and students, and, at Piney Woods, the expansion to fifth grade. A principal also presented a school mascot and refreshed vision and mission developed with input from the school community; the transcript contains inconsistent school-name references around that presentation.

Facilities were mentioned briefly, including a new portable classroom and an interior facelift, but the transcript records no related budget discussion, procurement decision, contract award, or vote. No procurement activity was identified.
