# 11/12/2026 - FCPS School Board Meeting

The Fairfax County Public Schools Board’s regular meeting on November 12, 2026 included several procurement and capital-project matters. The board approved the Wave 4 solar power purchase agreement program for 10 school sites, subject to final contract terms and confirmation of interconnection and utility-upgrade responsibilities. It also approved an amendment to Cornerstone OnDemand Inc.’s professional development evaluation system contract, reducing the available consulting-hours bundle from 125 to 96; at $200 per hour, the maximum potential savings is $5,800, depending on hours used. The board discussed the Willow Springs school renovation, including an estimated cost of about $43 million and a proposed 32,000-square-foot addition. Members questioned the estimate’s increase relative to other elementary renovations and requested information comparing recent project estimates with contract awards. The renovation was included in the consent agenda, which the board approved.

The board also considered amendments to its 2027 state and federal legislative program, including support for reducing or eliminating school solar interconnection costs, addressing utility-rate increases, and seeking $1.5 million in state funding for proposed education programs. Other major discussion included secondary course offerings, student credit-recovery programs, and the superintendent’s monitoring report on student learning environments. The board found the superintendent in compliance with Executive Limitation 10 by an 8–2 vote. Public commenters raised concerns about educational technology, school safety staffing, and solar energy costs; these comments did not constitute procurement approvals.
