# LCSS BOE September 24, 2026 Board Regular Session Meeting

The Lawrence County Board of Education held its regular session meeting on September 24, 2026. The meeting included routine board elections for chair, vice chair, and Tennessee legislative representative positions, all of which were approved unanimously. Significant procurement-related discussions focused on the approval of new school buses, including two special education buses and one 78-passenger bus, with costs exceeding budgeted amounts and the difference to be covered by the fund balance. The board also approved the purchase of welding equipment from Volunteer Welding and Supply Company for career technical education programs, funded through Perkins and other grants. Additionally, the board approved an 8.7% aggregate increase in insurance premiums for employees, with the district agreeing to absorb an additional 5% cost increase for the employee-spouse insurance plan to aid employee retention. These procurement decisions reflect ongoing investments in transportation, educational equipment, and employee benefits to support the school system's operations and programs.
