Board approves $94,800 lease with Baptist Children's Homes for Kennedy Home campus
Summary
Board approved a one-year lease extension with Baptist Children's Homes of North Carolina for the Kennedy Home campus (Lenoir County Learning Academy) — $94,800 total, $7,900 per month — described as the first monthly increase since 2015.
District staff presented a lease agreement with Baptist Children's Homes of North Carolina for space at the Kennedy Home campus to house the Lenoir County Learning Academy. The presenter said the contract "is in the amount of $94,800 or $7,900 a month," calling it roughly a $300 monthly increase for the 2026-27 school year and noting the lease has been reviewed by legal counsel.
Mister Gill moved to approve the contract for the Haigler Overcash Education Center at Kennedy Home Campus; the motion was seconded and approved without objection. Staff emphasized this is an extension of the existing arrangement rather than a new location, and said the district will begin negotiating a new contract before the end of the coming year if the board approves tonight.
