OCPS | 2026-04-07 School Board Meeting

The Orange County Public Schools (OCPS) Board held a regular meeting on April 7, 2026, which included discussions on several procurement and policy matters. The board approved the establishment of a new charter school, Orange Center, and approved a modification to the charter contract for Central Florida Leadership Academy to add fifth grade. The meeting also covered the district's accreditation process with Cognia, including the associated system-wide cost of $377,700, and highlighted the importance of continuous improvement and stakeholder engagement. Additionally, the board discussed scheduling additional meeting days to accommodate increasing agenda items. No specific contract awards or vendor selections were detailed, but the charter school approvals and accreditation budget represent key procurement-related decisions. The meeting also included presentations on student initiatives and community partnerships, but no direct purchasing or capital project approvals were noted.
