# November 10, 2026, Board of Education Regular Meeting

Upper Arlington Schools Board of Education regular meeting, November 10, 2026. The board discussed the defeat of Issue 7 and next steps for district finances. The superintendent said the district faces difficult decisions on operating reductions and capital investments, with a special board meeting scheduled for November 17 to review financial information and options. Facility assessments had identified a need of approximately $125 million (the amount is garbled in the transcript). If the district pursues a bond issue for the May ballot, it would need to approve an initial resolution by January 4. Board members requested analysis of potential operating and facilities proposals, costs by school, financing options, and community feedback. No contract awards, RFPs, vendor selections, or purchasing votes were identified.

The finance report said year-over-year local tax revenue was about $6 million lower, largely reflecting the timing of state reimbursements and tax settlements; current revenue was about $664,000 below forecast, while expenditures were about $80,000 from forecast and up 3.3% year over year. The meeting also included an update on school safety assessments and procedures, recognition of the state-champion boys’ and girls’ water polo teams, and discussion of board policy revisions. The board approved the agenda and prior meeting minutes; no procurement-related action was taken.
