Charlottesville City Schools Packet Summary — 2026-08-12
Meeting: School Board Work Session
Date and Time: August 12, 2026 at 5:00 PM
Location: CitySpace Large Conference Room, 100 5th St NE, Charlottesville, VA 22902
Meeting Context: Joint meeting with Charlottesville City Council, identified on the agenda as “Better Together.”
Key Items on the Agenda
FY 2026-2027 Budget Amendment
The work session agenda includes an informational item on an FY 2026-2027 Budget Amendment, with Renee Hoover identified in connection with the presentation.
The packet text does not provide the amendment amount, funding sources, proposed changes, or other supporting financial details. The item is listed for discussion rather than as a separate action item.
Local 1% Sales Tax Option for School Construction
The School Board and Charlottesville City Council are scheduled to discuss the local 1% sales tax option for school construction.
The packet identifies this as an informational discussion item but does not provide details about potential revenue, construction projects, implementation, a proposed ballot measure, or a recommended course of action.
Meeting Actions
The agenda identifies two procedural matters as action items:
- Approval of Proposed Agenda: The School Board is scheduled to consider approval of the proposed agenda.
- Adjournment: Adjournment is also designated as an action item.
The two substantive topics—the FY 2026-2027 budget amendment and the local 1% sales tax option for school construction—are designated as informational items in the packet.
The agenda includes Comments from Members of the Community following the two scheduled discussion topics. The packet does not provide additional information about speakers, submitted comments, or specific public-comment topics.
What to Watch at the Meeting
The central focus of the work session is the joint discussion between Charlottesville City Schools’ School Board and Charlottesville City Council. The agenda places two financial and capital-planning subjects before the bodies: an FY 2026-2027 budget amendment and the local 1% sales tax option for school construction.
Because the packet contains only the agenda-level descriptions of these items, it does not specify what changes are included in the budget amendment or what position, if any, either body may take on the sales-tax option.
