LEXINGTON, Ky. — The Fayette County Board of Education is scheduled to consider tax rates, hear updates on the superintendent search, and review major capital projects during a planning meeting on September 10, according to the board’s published agenda.
The board is set to consider adoption of property tax rates for the 2026-27 fiscal year. The administration recommends adopting a 4 percent rate increase, which is a decrease from prior year rates. Current rates stand at 79.8 cents per $100 assessed valuation for real estate and 83.0 cents per $100 for personal property, according to the agenda.
The meeting also includes a discussion of the superintendent search process update. The district began its search for a new superintendent following Demetrus Liggins’ retirement in August, with a screening committee required to be established by September 17 under state law. Interim Superintendent Bill Bradford was appointed August 17 and brings 23 years of education experience to the role.
The board will also review planning discussion items that appear on the agenda for the final action meeting later in September, including change orders for the new Henry Clay High School construction and project closeout forms for HVAC replacements at Lansdowne Elementary and preschool classroom renovations at Arlington Elementary. The board will also consider several professional learning contracts and policy updates.
This is a planning meeting, which is discussion-focused. Final votes on items generally do not occur at planning meetings, with binding action typically taken at the board’s regular action meeting.
