Scott County Board approves technology plan, contracts and routine fiscal items

At its regular meeting the Scott County Board of Education approved a slate of routine and programmatic items by voice vote, including:

- Approval of the Scott County Schools Technology Plan for 2026–2029.
- Approval of an interlocal contract with the Fayette County Board of Education to provide third-party commercial driver’s license (CDL) examinations for Scott County students.
- Approval of an agreement with ProTeam Food Service Advisors LLC to provide food-service advisory services.
- Awarding the fiscal 2026 financial audit contract and renewal of related procurement awards, including diesel and gasoline bids, sanitation, pest management and other service bids for fiscal 2026–2027.
- Approval of a dual-credit memorandum of agreement with UK Next Generation Scholars.
- An addendum to the district’s Spectrum fiber contract for Oxford Elementary.
- Approval of transportation and facilities-related agreements (Scott County Parks and Recreation transportation agreement) and approval of the 2026 capital funds third request and surplus items as submitted.

The board also approved creation/ratification of positions listed as agenda items 17A–17M, emergency certification for substitute teachers for 2026–27, and school activity fund budgets. For each of these docketed items the motion was "moved, seconded" and the clerk recorded "All in favor? Aye. Those opposed? Motion carries." The record in the meeting transcript shows voice approval; no roll-call vote tally with member names was recorded in the transcript.

Legal and procedural notes: during the meeting the board also moved into closed session under KRS 61.810(1)(b) to discuss property and under KRS 61.810(1)(c) to discuss pending litigation.

What it means: Most items approved were routine, operational or contractual and will be implemented by staff in the normal course. The technology plan provides the district’s multi-year guidance for systems and connectivity through 2029; the audit contract and bid renewals set service providers for the coming fiscal year.
