Charter School Board Meeting - November 10, 2026

The Cape Coral Charter School Governing Board met on November 10, 2026. The board approved a separate 457(b) retirement-plan agreement with Voya Financial, selected through the City of Cape Coral’s provider evaluation as the lowest-cost option; the transition is scheduled to begin in January. It also approved Resolution 47-26 authorizing holiday bonuses totaling $624,370, including FICA, and approved Resolution 52-26 to proceed with the Oasis High School culinary arts lab renovation. The renovation is estimated at $1,236,979, funded initially from fund balance, with any CAP grant award potentially offsetting the cost. Chris-Tel of Southwest Florida was identified as the selected construction company for the project, which would expand the program and modernize its facilities and equipment.

The board also authorized the superintendent to spend up to $198,000 to address roof leaks and water intrusion in the school portables, without returning for board approval. Members discussed competing repair and replacement options, including quotes of approximately $197,000 and under $100,000, further proposals, warranty and storm risks, and the need for City Council consent under the lease. No final roofing vendor or scope was selected at the meeting. Policy revisions were presented for review before a future meeting; no policy action was taken.
