The Williamson County Education Committee meeting on October 26, 2026, considered school capacity and capital planning. The committee unanimously approved moving forward with the intent to fund a new middle school on the Jordan Elementary campus in the Nolensville area, where three existing middle schools are projected to reach or exceed capacity within two to four years. Members discussed education impact fees as a possible funding source, the requirement to spend those fees within five years or return them to developers, and whether existing schools could be expanded instead. No construction cost or construction contract was approved; the district said further site evaluation would be needed, and estimated base staffing costs for a new school at about $2 million. The project could delay the projected need for a middle school on Cox Road.

The committee also unanimously approved a $1,577,665.62 amendment to the 2026–27 capital fund budget for an E-rate internet-related rebate that the district had already received. It unanimously approved reallocating $100,000 in the 2026–27 general purpose school fund from salary-line savings to contracted services for the superintendent search; the board had selected Zeal as its search firm. The meeting also included broader discussion of enrollment trends, rezoning, and student services, but no additional procurement awards were identified.
