# 11/9/2026 PLSD Board of Education Meeting

The Pickerington Local School District Board of Education meeting on November 9, 2026, focused primarily on the failed school levy and its expected effects on staffing, class sizes, athletics, arts, and other student programs. The superintendent said the district would receive no additional levy revenue in 2027 and warned that reductions could also affect academic programs. Students, staff, and community members urged the board to preserve activities through fundraising, sponsorships, and other partnerships. The superintendent announced “Project 256” to organize community advocacy for future funding; board members expressed support for developing a transparent, equitable framework to consider community-supported extracurriculars, but no such framework or restoration plan was adopted at this meeting. The district budget was cited as approximately $175 million, and a speaker cited a potential $1.4 million impact from proposed federal telecommunications discount cuts.

The procurement-related action was approval of a resolution for cooperative purchasing of electricity, described by the board as a cost-saving mechanism; no vendor or contract amount was specified. The board also approved agenda items that included personnel and supplemental stipends, and considered donations for designated purposes, though the transcript provides no amounts or specific vendors. No contract award, RFP, or capital project approval was identified. The meeting’s major spending-related discussion concerned potential program reductions and community fundraising, with no final decisions on those issues announced during the meeting.
