The County Council on Dec. 1 voted unanimously to adopt Bill 8,825, which updates the fiscal‑year 2026 capital budget and program for the Board of Education. The administration presented the ordinance and said it transfers appropriations to support all‑day kindergarten and pre‑K, addresses maintenance and building‑systems backlogs, and funds sustainability initiatives and capital projects.

Administration staff said the item had been discussed at a prior work session and no public testimony was offered at tonight’s meeting. Council members voted 7–0 to adopt the capital program amendments.
