Revised MOU Lebanon Junction HVAC Renovations
Lisa Lewis
The MOA was previous reviewed and approved at the last meeting (3/23/2026). However, it has come to our attention that the document included a reference to sales tax.

HEART House Parking Lot and Driveway Improvements
This memo is to inform the Board of planned parking lot and driveway improvements at the HEART House.
To provide safe and functional access to the property, we will be completing a driveway from the main road to the garage, along with a small parking area to accommodate approximately five vehicles on the side of the building.
The work will be completed by Bid-Rite Paving, who has generously partnered with us on this project. The total cost for the project is $2,500, which includes installation of two inches of millings (recycled asphalt). Additionally, Bid-Rite Paving is providing a $4,200 discount as an in-kind donation to support the HEART House Project.
All expenses for this project will be paid through the McKinney-Vento donated account, using funds that were specifically contributed for the development and support of the HEART House.
These improvements are an important step in ensuring the HEART House is accessible, safe, and fully functional for the students and families we serve.
Please see the attached invoice and contract agreement for additional details.

This procurement plan provides a written description of the procurement procedures that are used
when procuring goods and services for the federal Child Nutrition Program. SFAs are required to have
and use written procurement procedures that comply with the federal regulations, laws, and policies.
However, SFAs must also follow any applicable State and local procurement requirements when they are
stricter than but not in contradiction to what is federally required.
While not required by SCN for this procurement plan to have an official approval by the schools
governing body or administration, it is important that they are knowledgeable of the procedures that are
reflected in this document and understand that they must be used when procuring for the Child
Nutrition Program. These procedures should be reviewed at least once annually and updated at the
frequency needed to remain current with what is required for the SFA to follow.
This procurement plan will be followed as written and will be amended as needed. This procurement
plan was last amended on April 20, 2026 and is being implemented as of this date.

Acceptable Use Policy Update (Second Reading)
Kevin Fugate
This memo is for the second reading of the AUP updates. The original information has not
changed and is below. Thank you for your consideration.
Due to the recent integration of emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, into the
educational environment, a revision to the BCPS Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) is required to
safeguard both students and staff.
We have also incorporated details regarding KRS 160.145 (also known as SB 181), which
restricts staff from using messaging services not officially approved by the district for
communication with students.
This revised policy has been reviewed and approved by our district's legal counsel. This
constitutes the first reading, and we will request final approval at the next regular board meeting.
Thank you!
Approve 2nd Reading as presented.
