School Board approves $35K for digital licenses for 100 book challenge

During the recent Board of Education meeting held by Lexington City Schools, a significant decision was made regarding educational resources that will directly benefit local students. The board approved a request for $35,200 to purchase digital licenses for the American Reading Company, which supports the ongoing "100 Book Challenge" initiative.

This funding is aimed at renewing licenses that are already in use at the middle school, ensuring that students continue to have access to valuable reading materials. The initiative is designed to enhance literacy and foster a love for reading among students, which is crucial for their academic success.

In addition to the approval of the digital licenses, the meeting included discussions about other educational resources, although details on those topics were less emphasized. The focus on renewing and expanding access to reading materials highlights the board's commitment to improving educational outcomes in the community.

As Lexington City Schools moves forward with this initiative, the investment in digital licenses reflects a broader goal of enhancing literacy and supporting students' learning experiences. The board's decision is expected to have a positive impact on students' engagement with reading and their overall academic performance.
