What's on this agenda

The Chatham County Schools board held a special session on 2 March 2026 about growth. The agenda is a single subject in four parts: an update on Chatham Park, enrollment projections prepared by OREd, school growth across the district, and how capital and long-range planning line up against those numbers.

The session closed on next steps and future coordination for school planning. Chatham Park is the largest development in the county and the enrollment it generates is the pressure behind every school siting decision the board faces.
