IV.G. KISTA Lease Agreement for Bus Purchases
Rationale

The Kentucky Interlocal School Transportation Association (KISTA) is a school bus financing program.  Participants should expect an average interest rate of approximately 3.5% based on current market conditions.  Please see the attached KISTA documentation to approve for the purchase of one bus for the 2025-26 year.  This agreement will cover the purchase of one bus from the previous agenda item. 

I will recommend approval of the KISTA Lease Agreement.  

IV.H. Acceptance of Donation--FFA
Rationale

Board policy 4.61 requires the board to approve acceptance of donations valued over $1000.00.  The Pendleton County Education Foundation is requesting to donate $1300.00 to our high school FFA program through the “Kohl’s Cares for Kids Program”.

I would recommend the board approve the acceptance of the donation.

IV.I. Postage Meters Lease

Attached is a memo from our Chief Information Officer, Craig Smith, regarding the postage meter lease for Northern Elementary School, Southern Elementary School, Student Support Services, and Sharp Middle School.
