# Letcher County School Board October 26, 2026

The regular meeting of the Letcher County Board of Education was held October 26, 2026. The board heard a presentation on Tyler Technologies’ school-bus routing and transportation software, including turn-by-turn directions, student ridership tracking, parent notifications, inspections, and fleet maintenance functions. The proposed startup cost was $156,831, with a recurring annual fee of $41,797. Members discussed trying the system during the second semester but also raised questions about cost, cellular coverage, and whether it would work on rural routes. No formal purchase approval or contract award is identifiable in the transcript.

Other operational and budget topics included fuel costs, possible changes to bus routes and driver hours, and the poor condition of the high school roof, for which staff expected to bring back information in the coming weeks. The superintendent reported that an appraisal had been completed for the early childhood facility as the district considers options for the property. The meeting also included school performance reports and fund balances; no other procurement awards or spending approvals are clearly identifiable. The board approved meeting minutes and voted to enter executive session to discuss litigation.
