# Lake Central School Board Meeting 9/21/2026

The Lake Central School Board held a special meeting on September 21, 2026, primarily focused on updating numerous board policies, including those related to school board candidacy eligibility, executive session topics, student attendance flexibility, reproductive health instruction, student privacy, adjunct teacher hiring, and use of artificial intelligence. Several policies were aligned with state law changes, such as procurement thresholds for micro-purchases and sealed bids, which were updated to reflect increased dollar limits ($50,000 for micro-purchases and $300,000 for sealed bids), affecting bidding and approval processes. The board also discussed budget-related matters, including the 2027 budget, capital projects plan, and bus replacement plan, with a public hearing held and formal adoption scheduled for the October 19 meeting. Additionally, professional leave requests and donations were approved. The meeting included presentations on academic accountability models and student programs but did not involve direct contract awards or vendor selections.
