What's on this agenda

Budget night. Chatham County's school board took its 2026-27 local appropriations request to the county commissioners, along with a proposed school nutrition budget and a proposed local current expense budget. It also set a proposed academic calendar for 2027-28 and renewed the district's custodial contract with The Budd Group.

Other business included a mutual aid agreement with charter and private schools, a beginning teacher support plan, summer work hours, and a first reading of state school boards association policy updates. Student recognitions filled the front of the meeting. The district publishes an item list and no agenda document or minutes, so vote counts are not on file here.
