June 26, 2026 - Board of Education Meeting

The Oak Ridge Schools Board of Education met on June 26, 2026. The board unanimously approved the FY26 budget transfer and amendment, including a $300,000 addition to the general fund for summer learning camps; it also approved FY26 budget transfer No. 4, though the transcript does not provide its details. A reclassification of a 1.0 student services coordinator position to an administrative assistant was approved, with staff estimating annual savings of approximately $50,000.

The board unanimously approved amendment No. 3 to its FY27 food service management agreement with Southwest Food Service Excellence, extending the arrangement into its fourth year. The district will remain in the CEP program, with no meal-price changes for 2026–27. It also approved purchasing replacement LED lighting for the Performing Arts Center, whose existing system dates to 2007; funding will be split between FY26 and FY27, with no purchase amount or vendor stated. The board approved a revision to its facility-naming policy, which staff said was timely as the district discusses possible donations with business partners for a future innovation center and other projects. Other approved items included the annual student code of conduct, leave and vacation policies, and the FY27 board agenda.
