At its 7 p.m. business meeting Tuesday, the Stafford County School Board will vote on a resolution requesting that the Board of Supervisors authorize up to $183.75 million in general obligation school bonds through December 2027.
The request would allow Stafford County Public Schools to pursue approximately $175 million in net proceeds through the Virginia Public School Authority, according to school officials.
Deputy Superintendent Chris Fulmer is scheduled to present the resolution, which is required for schools to apply for state bond financing but does not itself issue debt.
The funding supports projects in the school division’s FY2026–2035 Capital Improvement Plan, including the construction of Hartwood High School No. 6, Falls Run Elementary School, and Crow’s Nest Elementary School.
The plan also includes rebuilds of Drew Middle School and Hartwood Elementary, along with major renovations and safety upgrades at multiple existing schools.
Stafford County has experienced rapid residential growth, driving increased student enrollment and capacity challenges, according to school officials.
