BOE Business Meeting Adoption of 2026-27 Budget. Edited to beep out prohibited language.

The Cabarrus County Schools Board of Education held a business meeting on April 13, 2026, primarily focused on the adoption of the 2026-2027 budget and the approval of a $300 million general obligation bond referendum to address critical capital needs including construction, expansion, and renovation of school facilities. The board unanimously approved the bond resolution to be placed on the November 2026 ballot. Additionally, the board approved the school calendar for the next academic year and extended the engagement of their current legal counsel for one more year, with plans to issue a request for qualifications (RFQ) for future legal services. Public comments during the meeting heavily addressed concerns about school policies related to transgender students and bathroom access, reflecting community engagement on these issues. No specific contract awards or vendor selections were discussed, but the bond approval represents a significant capital improvement funding decision.
