# RHS Special Called School Board Meeting 07-13-26

Rock Hill Schools Board of Trustees special-called meeting on July 13, 2026, focused on the Octapharma Plasma project and the distribution of tax revenue under its fee-in-lieu-of-taxes (FILOT) agreement. Trustees discussed the district’s lack of involvement in negotiations, the need for earlier collaboration among the school district, city, county, and economic-development partners, and the district’s facility needs. Speakers cited approximately $300 million in capital maintenance needs over the next decade, with 58% of school buildings more than 50 years old. No procurement awards, bids, or vendor selections were made.

The board amended a proposed resolution to replace its invitation for a joint public information session with a request that Rock Hill City Council accept the tax allocations approved by York County Council at its July 8 third reading. The amendment passed 5–2, and the amended resolution was then approved 5–2. Trustees also welcomed Octapharma and expressed support for future collaboration; the discussion noted that the district continues to forgo at least $3 million annually under a separate downtown agreement through 2039.
