Summary
The Williamsburg-James City County School Board on March 2026 approved routine personnel and budget items, a $655,545 purchase of Lenovo elementary laptops, annual engineering services contracts (per-project cap $750,000; $3,000,000 annual cap) and an amendment to the FY26 grants fund budget to $7,483,350.
The Williamsburg-James City County School Board approved a set of routine personnel and budget items and several procurement actions during its March meeting.
A motion to approve personnel actions carried after a second, with the board voting in favor. The board also approved the special education annual plan for the 2026–27 school year and associated Title IIB flow-through funds.
Miss Chen moved and the board approved a purchase of Lenovo laptops for elementary fourth- and fifth-grade students under NCPA/Omnia contract 01-146 for a total contract value of $655,545. The board later approved an award of annual engineering services under RFP #20251153 to the firms listed in Attachment A, with individual projects capped at $750,000 and an overall annual cap of $3,000,000.
The board approved a motion to amend the FY26 grants fund budget to $7,483,350. Members also voted to approve revisions to the 2026–27 school calendar and to submit James River and Matthew Whaley elementary school improvement plans and grant applications to the Virginia Department of Education.
The motions were made, seconded and approved in roll-call sequence during the meeting; where a formal vote was recorded the board reported "aye" responses from members in attendance.
What happens next: approved procurements and budget amendments will be executed by administration per division procurement rules and the schools will proceed with the submitted improvement-plan applications to VDOE. No item in this series required further board action at the meeting.
