# OCPS | 2026-10-13 School Board Work Session Part 2

At the October 13, 2026 OCPS Board work session, members considered five firms to support the search for a new superintendent. They compared firms’ experience, proposed scope, pricing, Florida-specific knowledge, and ability to support community input and identify candidates with innovative perspectives. Members cited concerns that some proposals were costly or less suited to the district’s needs; no contract amount was stated in the transcript.

The board reached consensus, without objection, to direct the superintendent and staff to enter into a contract with the Florida School Boards Association (FSBA) for the superintendent search. This was the meeting’s identified procurement action.
