The August 10, 2026 LexRich5 Board meeting included the superintendent’s report and presentations on academics and student assessment. The superintendent described the start of the school year, the district’s new theme and restructuring, an expanded partnership with Midlands Technical College offering an associate-degree pathway with up to approximately 64 college credits, and academic results from tutoring, summer programs, state assessments, and career-readiness testing. Staff also reviewed instructional expectations for Chromebook use and districtwide learner expectations. The report noted that Steve Pageant’s Honda of Lake Murray donated use of cars for the teacher and support employee of the year.

The superintendent reported that three new school wings opened over the summer at Harbison High School, Lake Murray Elementary, and Chapin Elementary, while renovations and new classroom pods were underway at Nursery Road and Harbison West Elementary. No contract awards, bids, procurement votes, or spending decisions were identified in the transcript; the construction work was reported as an operational update, without procurement details.
