Lexington 3 board approves 2027–28 calendar and gives first readings to food‑service and unencumbered time policies
Summary
Trustees gave second‑reading approval to the 2027–28 Lexington 3 school calendar and voted to give first‑reading approval to updated food‑service (EF and EF‑R) and unencumbered time (GCLE and GCLE‑R) policies; policy changes incorporate recent state legislative updates and the community eligibility provision for meal service.
At its April 21 meeting, the Lexington County School District 3 board approved the 2027–28 school calendar on second reading and gave first‑reading approval to several policy updates.
Mrs. Taylor presented the proposed 2027–28 calendar; trustees had received the document in prior packets and the administration reported there were no changes since last month's presentation. Mrs. Burgess moved to give second reading approval; Mrs. Derek seconded, and the motion carried unanimously.
Dr. Bryant presented first readings of policy EF (Food Services) and administrative rule EF‑R. He told trustees that legislative changes required adding language about the community eligibility provision — the mechanism that allows participating districts to provide free meals to all students — and updated other dated language to match the school board association model. Trustees voted to give first reading approval to EF and EF‑R.
Dr. Bryant also reviewed updates to policy GCLE and administrative rule GCLE‑R on unencumbered time. The most recent legislative change extends unencumbered time protections to school nurses; the proposed language adds references to school nurses accordingly. Trustees moved and unanimously approved first reading for those documents as well.
All first readings were approved as first readings only; the board did not take final/adoption votes on the policies during this meeting.
