OCPS | 2026-11-10 School Board Meeting

The OCPS School Board meeting on November 10, 2026, included unanimous approval of procurement-policy changes following a review by the Council of the Great City Schools. The board repealed policies FE (facilities construction) and FEG (construction contract bidding and awards), and approved revisions to DJA and DJB on purchasing authority and procedures. District staff said the changes would expand authority to execute contracts and help avoid delays; projects over $50,000 or involving multiple years would still be competitively bid. No specific construction contracts, vendors, or bids were awarded at the meeting.

The board also unanimously approved an item described as a $20 million transfer related to delaying insurance changes; staff cited staffing adjustments, department cuts, and systemwide position adjustments as funding sources. A separate anticipated $20 million December shortfall was expected to return to the board later. The consent agenda, which included a $150,000 settlement, passed unanimously. The board also heard information about OCPS Foundation fundraising and grants, including $650,000 in teacher impact grants; no related purchasing action was identified.
