# Board of Education  Meeting - October 26, 2026

Wallingford Public Schools Board of Education meeting, October 26, 2026. The board considered the One Wallingford High School educational specifications and related project due diligence. A motion to add the pool and 17 classrooms failed; the board then approved Option 2, described as shared spaces with a natatorium, by a 6–? vote (the transcript records six affirmative votes but does not clearly capture the full roll call). The board also approved amendments to the agricultural science and technology program specifications based on instructor feedback. Due diligence items included an enrollment study costing $9,500 plus a $1,000 board presentation, for a total of $10,500, and geotechnical services from Langan; the enrollment study and geotechnical work were to be funded from the district’s 2% fund. The board discussed the goal of submitting the school project grant application by June 30, 2027, while the timeline for the geotechnical study’s Phase 2 remained to be confirmed.

Facilities and funding updates included replacement of deteriorating doors at Mark T. Sheehan High School for $222,000, to be paid from the 2% fund. The meeting also reported grants supporting programs: $33,000 from Delta Dental for adult education, a $150,000 LEAP grant, and a $256,000 SEED grant for autism and social-emotional programming and special-education reading materials. The district began its annual budget process. No construction contract award or contractor selection for the high school project was identified.
