LWVOA - Novi School Board Candidate Forum 2026

The Novi School Board Candidate Forum held on September 11, 2026, featured four candidates discussing their priorities and views on education, budget management, and district governance. While the forum primarily focused on educational policies, student success, teacher retention, and community engagement, there were several references to fiscal responsibility and budget challenges faced by the district. Candidates emphasized protecting student-facing services amid budget constraints and discussed the importance of balancing administrative costs with classroom needs. They also addressed the need for transparency and data-driven decision-making in resource allocation. No specific contract awards, RFPs, or vendor selections were discussed during the forum.
