# Instructional Committee  and Special Board of Education Meeting | 9-14-26

The Concord School District held an Instructional Committee and Special Board of Education meeting on September 14, 2026, primarily focused on discussing the district's open enrollment policy. The meeting included a required public hearing to review the policy, which targets limited open enrollment at Concord High School, allowing students from other districts to enroll in select programs such as advanced math and AP courses. Key procurement-related discussions involved setting tuition rates at 90% of the sending district's per pupil cost, establishing class size caps to maintain quality, and clarifying that transportation costs are the responsibility of families. The board also discussed administrative considerations for students with disabilities and the need for ongoing policy review. Additionally, the meeting covered endorsement of a capital improvement project for athletic field design and permitting, with a focus on a new plan option that fits within a $15 million budget without requiring additional appropriations. The board approved moving forward with phase one of the project, including turf fields and a bus drop-off lane, while deferring further design refinements. A motion to enter non-public session to discuss personnel issues was also passed by roll call vote.
