# 11-10-2026 WCSD Regular Meeting of the Board of Trustees

The Washoe County School District Board of Trustees’ regular meeting was held November 10, 2026. The board unanimously approved the FY2026 annual comprehensive financial report and an updated preliminary official statement for planned December issuance of General Obligation Limited Tax School Improvement Bonds, Series 2026C. The audit reported no adjustments, material weaknesses, or significant deficiencies. The board also discussed substantial pressure on the nutrition services fund: a $6.68 million FY2026 loss, a projected $3 million FY2027 deficit, and $367,000 in unpaid meal balances. The district said it intends to pursue a disputed $7.4 million payment from its current food-service contractor, Southwest Food Service Excellence, under a contract guarantee.

To maintain meal service during the transition, the board unanimously approved a food-services consulting and management agreement with Compass Group USA, through its Chartwells K12 division, for $440,000 plus reimbursable expenses, covering January 5–June 30, 2027. The district said the Nevada Department of Agriculture waived the usual RFP requirement because of the short transition timeline; it expects to issue a new RFP for FY2028. The board also heard a presentation on Native American education programs funded by Title VI and other grants, including grants nearing their end dates, but no related spending action was taken.
