# Henrico County School Board Work Session - November 12, 2026

Henrico County School Board work session, November 12, 2026: The board reviewed a 30-day HVAC and facilities operations assessment completed by Captech, a Henrico-based firm, and staff’s implementation roadmap. The assessment called for a complete equipment inventory, standardized work orders and preventive-maintenance records, vendor performance tracking, improved system integrations, and clearer repair-status visibility. Staff said implementation is underway, including using existing work-order software, the division’s eight maintenance vendors, and information from the Mosley assessment; the first phase will focus on identifying assets and linking work orders to equipment. The board discussed staffing needs, service prioritization, training, and coordination with county government, including joint procurement where it could create savings. Captech cautioned against immediately committing to the roughly $92 million in equipment replacements identified in prior work without first improving asset data and maintenance practices. No vendor award or procurement vote was recorded.

The board also considered the FY 2027–28 capital improvement plan, requesting $9 million in meals-tax funding and CIP allocations of $2 million for technology, $6 million for buses, and $1 million for playgrounds; the total CIP request is $6 million above FY 2026–27’s $29 million, driven by roofing needs. Members raised concerns about inflation and requested more information on proposed fencing projects, and discussed additional facility needs such as tennis courts. The plan was presented for consideration, with no approval vote recorded in the transcript; if approved, it would go to county leadership for review on December 9. Other agenda items included first-review policy changes, legislative priorities focused in part on school facilities, technology and funding, and the academic and career planning guide. One policy item concerning appropriation of local surplus funds was held for follow-up.
