OCPS | 2026-08-13 School Board Meeting

The Orange County Public Schools (OCPS) Board held a meeting on August 13, 2026, primarily to discuss revisions to the student code of conduct related to the use of micro-mobility devices such as e-bikes and scooters on campus. The board reviewed a phased enforcement policy with a grace period until September 4, 2026, after which consequences for non-compliance would begin, escalating from warnings and detention to out-of-school suspension and revocation of privileges. The discussion included considerations about parent communication protocols, device confiscation policies, and ensuring student safety while balancing operational challenges. Additionally, the board addressed enrollment trends, a hiring freeze in response to fluctuating student numbers, and briefly touched on a policy regarding booster clubs paying coaches. No contract awards or procurement decisions were made during this meeting, but the discussions on policy enforcement and operational logistics could influence future procurement or vendor engagement related to student transportation and safety equipment.
