# Union County Schools SC Board Live Stream - Special Called Board Meeting 8/31/2026

The Union County Schools SC Board held a special-called work session on August 31, 2026. The board entered executive session to discuss contractual and legal matters related to capital improvement projects; after returning to open session, it reported that no votes were taken during executive session. The superintendent presented possible uses of a proposed sales-tax referendum, estimated to generate about $60 million over 15 years if approved by voters. Revenue would be restricted to school facility capital improvements—not salaries or routine operating expenses—and could support new construction, renovations, additions, and safety and security improvements. No contract awards or vendor selections were made.

The superintendent outlined potential project pathways involving a new school or major renovations to Foster Park and Monarch, along with improvements at other facilities. A possible career and technical education (CTE) center developed with Spartanburg Community College was also discussed. The board approved a motion directing the superintendent to explore options for a new CTE partnership in conjunction with a new school and return with more detailed cost information. These were exploratory options, contingent on voter approval of the referendum; no construction authorization or spending commitment was reported.
