# Volusia County School Board Meeting - Regular Session 11/10/2026


**Body:** Volusia County School Board
**Date:** November 09, 2026

**Tags:** Education, Construction & Infrastructure, Physical Infrastructure


The Volusia County School Board’s regular session on November 10, 2026, included discussion and approval of consent-agenda items involving industry-certification testing. Staff explained that amendments to the Agriculture Education Services Technology (AEST) and National Healthcareer Association (NHA) agreements were needed because student testing demand had exceeded earlier estimates. The AEST discussion referenced a $200,000 amount and substantial purchases of tests and curriculum; the NHA agreement ceiling was discussed as increasing from about $190,000 to $500,000, with district staff citing increased testing, pretests, and curriculum needs. After questions about the amendments and plans to better forecast future demand, the board approved the consent items by motion and vote.

The board did not approve the Avalon Park mitigation agreement at this meeting. A board member raised questions about the agreement’s terms, the proposed charter school intended to serve a projected 2,276 students, and approximately $14 million in impact fees. The board voted to postpone consideration until a workshop so members could review the issues and receive further information. Other agenda items included the approval of meeting minutes, school recognitions, a safety report, and an internal audit presentation; no other procurement awards were identified.
