# NAPLS Board of Education Meeting - Nov. 9, 2026

The Nov. 9, 2026 regular Board of Education meeting, identified by the title and discussion as New Albany Plain Local Schools, included approval of financial and general business items. The board approved appropriation modifications that increase the other-grants fund by $500,000, corresponding to a Meta donation received by the district; the donation itself is to appear for approval at a later meeting. The treasurer also reported that property-tax receipts were delayed and that a commercial refund leaves the real-estate revenue line about $1.5 million below expectations, while approximately $2.8 million in state property-tax-related funds was expected in November. The board approved general business items that included a master energy supply agreement, field trips, and donations; no agreement value or supplier was given in the transcript.

Staff presented proposed courses and career pathways for the 2027–28 school year, including digital media production and pharmacy programs through Eastland-Fairfield and engineering/robotics College Credit Plus offerings. The board also heard public concerns about proposed natural-gas power plants and possible air-quality effects on students, but no district action or spending commitment was reported on that issue. Safety updates included Centegix system testing and a planned additional gateway installation, with no cost stated. The transcript records affirmative votes on the reported approvals but is inconsistent about the district name in its opening; the meeting title and much of the discussion indicate New Albany Plain Local Schools.
