The Fairfax County Public Schools Board held a retreat on April 24, 2026, focused primarily on professional development and internal planning rather than formal legislative or policy action. The morning session featured two parts of a Maxwell DISC assessment workshop, facilitated by Teresa Johnson, which is a team-building and communication-style training tool designed to help board members better understand individual and group working styles. No votes or formal decisions were recorded during these sessions.
The afternoon portion of the retreat shifted to two substantive working sessions. Board members participated in a discussion and workshop on Artificial Intelligence, likely addressing AI's role in education, policy considerations, or operational use within FCPS. This was followed by a School Board Office (SBO) Budget Discussion, during which members reviewed budget matters related to the School Board's own operational budget. The retreat concluded with adjournment.
Because this was a working retreat rather than a formal business meeting, no votes were taken and no formal motions were recorded. The transcript provided contains only agenda-level detail without narrative discussion notes, so the specific content of the AI workshop and budget conversation is not available for summary. The overall tone of the retreat appears to be collaborative and planning-oriented.
