FPS Regular Board Meeting - June 25th, 2026

The Fayetteville Public Schools (FPS) Board held a regular meeting on June 25, 2026, which included extensive discussions on several procurement and capital projects. Key procurement-related topics included updates on the $178.1 million bond-funded construction projects, with a focus on quality facilities and sustainability efforts such as WELL certification and air quality monitoring. The board approved a long-term financing plan to issue $100 million in bonds this summer, with the remaining $75 million planned for next year. Additionally, the board considered a partnership proposal with the City of Fayetteville for a new fitness and aquatic center, including a $20 million competitive pool component and an annual operational cost share request of $250,000. The aquatic center project is in early schematic design with a projected completion around 2029. The board also approved updated school meal pricing and screen time guidelines, and discussed naming procedures for new school buildings. Several grant awards were highlighted, including a $520,000 three-year 21st Century grant for afterschool programs and a two-year Walton Family Foundation grant to support college and career coaches. The meeting concluded with a move to executive session for superintendent evaluation and real estate matters.
