LEXINGTON, Ky. — The Fayette County Public Schools Board of Education is scheduled to take several consequential actions during its regular meeting Monday evening, including approval of an interim superintendent contract and an agreement to launch a formal search for permanent district leadership.
The board is set to consider approval of a contract for Interim Superintendent Bill Bradford, who was named to the interim role in August following the retirement of Dr. Demetrus Liggins. Bradford has expressed interest in seeking the permanent position as the district navigates ongoing financial challenges and rebuilding efforts.
The board will also consider a memorandum of understanding with the Kentucky School Boards Association to assist with the superintendent search process. The district is scheduled to hire a permanent superintendent beginning in July 2027, according to the earlier announcement of the superintendent vacancy.
In construction matters, the agenda includes approval of a seventh change order for the new Henry Clay High School project, which is slated to open in fall 2028. The agenda also calls for approval of project closeout forms for completed work at Lansdowne Elementary School’s HVAC system replacement and Arlington Elementary School’s conversion of two classrooms into preschool spaces. A third change order for artificial turf field and track resurfacing work at Paul Laurence Dunbar High School also appears on the agenda.
The board is scheduled to consider approval of its fiscal year 2027 working budget during the meeting. Monthly financial reports and a corrective action plan are also on the agenda for board consideration.
The action meeting is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. at the district office, 701 East Main Street. The meeting agenda and detailed attachments are available on the Kentucky School Boards Association public portal.
