Stafford School Board Worksession 9/22/2026

The Stafford County Public Schools held a work session on September 22, 2026, focusing primarily on updates to the program of studies for the 2027-28 school year and capital improvement projects. Key procurement-related discussions included proposed changes to course offerings, such as adding IB language courses, removing low-enrollment classes like drafting, and introducing a study hall elective to better accommodate student scheduling needs. The board also reviewed the capital improvement plan (CIP) for fiscal years 2037-38, discussing project delays for new schools and updates to critical systems and fleet services, including plans for a new 30,000 square foot fleet maintenance facility. The CIP timeline was outlined with key dates for enrollment projections and draft submissions. Additionally, the board discussed advisory committees related to gifted education and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), deciding to maintain the gifted committee while moving the DEI committee to ad hoc status pending further mission clarification. The meeting concluded with motions to approve certain items and a closed session to discuss superintendent goals for FY27.
