Montgomery County Schools Board of Education Meeting - November 2nd, 2026

The Montgomery County Schools Board of Education meeting, identified in the title as November 2, 2026 (meeting metadata is dated November 3 UTC), included school updates, policy discussions, budget amendments, and a presentation on school-based health centers. The board approved corrected budget figures after an error in the prior amendment: the child nutrition appropriation was corrected to $4,169,660, bringing the reported total budget to $54,009,820.91. Members also reviewed additional grant-related appropriations; the transcript does not clearly capture the final action on the second amendment. FirstHealth reported annual support of $140,000 from the school system, $88,800 from a DHHS grant, and $15,000 from the Montgomery Hospital Foundation, and described a $1.25 million grant intended primarily to add three on-site counselors and expand some services. These were funding updates, not contract or vendor awards.

No procurement action—such as an RFP, contract award, or purchasing approval—was identified. The board also approved a school-calendar adjustment and discussed proposed policy revisions, including a new paid parental leave policy and changes related to student surveys, school safety, instructional materials, and public-records requests. Staff were asked to develop a proposed cost-sharing approach for unusually burdensome public-records requests for the board to review in December.
