FPS Regular Board Meeting - July 23rd, 2026

The Fayetteville Board of Education held its regular meeting on July 23, 2026. Key procurement-related discussions included a detailed update on the issuance of construction bonds totaling approximately $101.7 million, with Truist Securities winning the bid at an interest rate of 4.61%. The bond proceeds, after fees and discounts, will provide the district with over $100.6 million for capital projects, including ongoing construction at John L. Colbert Junior High and Fayetteville High School parking garage, both reported on as on time and on or under budget. The board approved the bond resolution authorizing issuance and delivery of the bonds. Additionally, the board reviewed and approved policy revisions related to stipends for junior high theater teachers and a Fayetteville High School sponsorship position, with the latter stipend reimbursed by the Fayetteville Public Education Foundation. Other agenda items included academic updates, new teacher orientation plans, and athletics program highlights, but no further procurement actions were taken.
