# Board Meeting 10-30-26

The October 30, 2026, Fayette County Board of Education meeting focused primarily on student achievement and district operations. Staff presented the student success coaching model, reporting an average 37.2% gain across coaching cycles, and reviewed academic, special education, and third-grade literacy data. Discussion also covered the employee attendance incentive—based on a $500 state incentive for eligible classroom teachers, with eligible half-time employees receiving $250—and whether to change its payout schedule; no change was approved. The board approved accounts payable by motion, but the transcript provides no payment total or vendor details.

The board discussed, but took no action on, a possible change to the county career-technical center’s enrollment from juniors and seniors to sophomores and juniors; a board member requested further research and a risk-reward analysis. Members also reviewed a proposed school calendar and instructional-hour requirements. Two fishing docks at the county park, completed with AARP grant funding, were noted. No contract awards, RFPs, vendor selections, or other new procurement decisions were identified.
