6/25/2026 - FCPS School Board Meeting

The Fairfax County Public Schools Board held a regular meeting on June 25, 2026, which included several procurement-related actions. The board unanimously approved contracts for supplemental literacy instruction with primary and secondary contractors, authorizing the superintendent and procurement director to execute and administer these contracts. They also authorized the superintendent to negotiate a temporary lease agreement related to the Centerville High School renovation project and directed staff to evaluate the renovation's scope and impacts, with a report due by August 28, 2026. Additionally, the board approved an amendment to the contract with Five Ponds Press Books, Inc. for fourth-grade social studies basal resources, a digital and print hybrid resource, with an annual value of approximately $175,000. The meeting featured extensive discussion on instructional technology use, including concerns about screen time and AI in classrooms, but no new procurement decisions on technology were made. The board also renewed the superintendent's employment contract and discussed transportation and phasing plans for the new Sky View High School. Several proclamations and recognitions were made, but the primary procurement focus was on literacy instruction contracts, the Centerville High School lease and renovation, and the social studies materials contract extension.
