Howard County Board of Education heard more than an hour of public testimony focused on the FY27 Capital Improvement Program (CIP), with many speakers urging the board to follow its data-driven facility prioritization and to fund Centennial High School instead of Oakland Mills. Superintendent Michael Barnes and operations staff presented four alternative ways to use Build to Learn funds and the proposed FY27 local projects; the board asked for more data and directed staff to return with options for a November 6 vote. The board also held a redistricting work session, reviewed six boundary concepts and on a 5–2 vote designated the superintendents proposal plus Concepts 1–5 as the preliminary plans that will advance to public hearing.
