LCPS reports smooth start to 2025–26: buses, meals and Infinite Campus migration noted
Summary
District officials told the board the school year began smoothly: nearly 63,000 bus miles reported in the first nine days, tens of thousands of meals served, and a state‑mandated migration to Infinite Campus completed for 8,000 students and 1,000 staff.
District operations staff told the Lenoir County Board of Education on Oct. 8 that the 2025–26 school year opened smoothly and outlined operational metrics from the first days of classes.
Transportation: The transportation report said school bus drivers logged more than 63,000 miles in the first nine days of the year. Staff noted a requirement that each bus be inspected every 30 days and reported three current driver vacancies (two elementary, one high‑school), plus two afternoon route vacancies at the high school level. The district said face‑to‑face bus driver training will be offered Nov. 17–19 and that virtual trainings are available twice monthly.
Child nutrition: Child‑nutrition managers and assistants served nearly 30,000 breakfasts and 45,000 lunches through the first week of school, according to the presentation.
Maintenance and facilities: Maintenance staff completed 339 work orders in August and 85 work orders in the first four school days after Labor Day, the district reported. Staff said work was on pace for a strong month of repairs and upkeep.
Student information system migration: Technology staff said the district completed a state‑mandated transition from PowerSchool to Infinite Campus, migrating records for approximately 8,000 students and more than 1,000 staff accounts. Presenters described the migration as a large undertaking and thanked technology staff for completing the work.
Athletics and activities: Athletic programs were under way; volleyball and soccer were entering conference play and football schedules were beginning, staff said. Field trip requests and after‑school program activity were described as continuing to come in.
District staff closed the operations report by inviting board members to site visits and by offering to answer questions about transportation, nutrition and the ongoing E.B. Frank construction update discussed elsewhere on the agenda.
