# Worthington Schools Board of Education Meeting 10-26-26

At its October 26, 2026 meeting, the Worthington City Schools Board of Education discussed grant funding and approved fiscal appropriation modifications as part of its consent agenda. The Treasurer reported that the district’s Title I allocation was about $200,000 lower than the prior year—approximately a 15% decrease—and said the state may restore some funding in January, pending further information. The Board also reviewed first-reading policy updates, including a revision permitting convenience fees when district credit cards are needed to pay vendors; the policy package was discussed but not adopted at this meeting. No contract awards, competitive solicitations, or vendor selections were identified.

The Treasurer reported that the employee insurance committee approved a no-cost, no-risk 2027 parallel pilot of a new product from the district’s existing provider, Anthem. The Board also received an update on construction-process meetings and upcoming feedback sessions, but no capital project spending decision was made. Other major topics included the elementary “WIN Time” instructional program, a planned districtwide survey on artificial intelligence, and upcoming review of the 2022 bond issue.
