Key points reported:

- The district’s operating budget is approximately $127,000,000; the board was informed that the first quarter of the fiscal year is complete (25% of the year).
- A supplemental carryover appropriation from the board of supervisors adjusted beginning balances for the governor’s school textbook fund, fiscal agency fund and the school nutrition fund, and allowed previously requested carryovers to be recognized.
- New or unbudgeted revenues reported included about $250,000 for a Communities in Schools award, a security grant for $153,009.19, and a $10,000 Jack Tales donation tied to an elementary school play/community partnership.
- Expenditure adjustments included transportation carryovers for bus purchases and other items; an actuary result allowed the district to recognize approximately $100,000 related to supplemental retirement funding and personnel budgeting.
- The district will post purchase orders for heavy equipment and begin recruitment for a heavy equipment operators teacher to support a new career‑technical offering; officials described strong local employer interest in partnering for training.

Central office staff said detailed summaries and backup are available to the board and that staff will continue providing regular budget updates. The board approved the consent agenda, which included routine budget adjustments noted in the packet.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Washington County Schools - Regular Board Meeting - 10/6/2025","oneSentenceSummary","District leaders told the board the Washington County Public Schools operating budget is roughly $127 million and described first‑quarter adjustments driven by supplemental carryovers and several unbudgeted grants.","taxTitle","WASHINGTON CO PBLC SCHS, School Districts, Virginia","taxId",80493,"location","Virginia","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6428133,"Superintendent: two weapon incidents reported at county schools; students alerted staff and SROs responded",75,1958000,2033000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5888309-56afcdbb3008df14273f808b5972894d&start=1958&end=2033","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5888309-56afcdbb3008df14273f808b5972894d/thumbnail_1958000.jpg","/articles/6428133/Virginia/Superintendent-two-weapon-incidents-reported-at-county-schools-students-alerted-staff-and-SROs-responded","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6428133-c7be07fb044b95f89f5e50aa03533a80/orig.mp4?Expires=1773582446&Signature=jR6UmVYmqGTdm-ddouZDaT2kKo3~O3D1LWshXRHAeVoimB-I52LUEJG1FvchjRQA62Qxh9VzFTTKGthiJemIPWrI6iYgwRsqxLm-vPlZFrkLhU0uxDesftAafVIQoX1eBL70jzZmxhomv-t9BkFmwM0xbBCYV-jUWeA68av46Ebh4XZ96d-V8BcWDDRguPgu7Aadek00ECQwhycTT99ppoDysA41G06REXW9RFCySCz6fmgBn~HeyH4US4SHwhhI-25gT33ZeJlOUl2UMqrhUrlCRy2kmbVFSsj~XaIfM8~kIoQE8oTFKNfHR9GMuWmO68VoS7MCQCWo~b7AALlLJg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Superintendent Dr. Perrigan told the Washington County Public Schools board that two safety incidents occurred last week: a fake weapon at one school and an actual weapon at another. In both cases, students reported the situation to administrators, who notified school resource officers (SROs) and activated school response procedures.

\"Our students, first and foremost, brought in both situations ... which is just another example of how relationships are so important,\" Dr. Perrigan said. He told the board staff and SROs “did just a flawless job” in responding and that the district has scheduled a debrief with involved staff to review what worked and what could improve.

Dr. Perrigan said the debrief will serve two purposes: to make sure the district did not overlook anything and to allow the two administrators involved to share the response steps with other administrators across the county as a teachable case. \"Even though we don't ever want to go through those situations ... we can use those as a teachable moment,\" he said.

The superintendent did not provide names of students or specifics about the weapon types, and the board did not announce any disciplinary or criminal outcomes during the public session. The district said it will use the debrief to refine procedures and to inform administrators countywide.","Superintendent Dr. Perrigan said two incidents — a fake weapon and an actual weapon — were reported to administrators at Gladespring Middle School and Holston High School; school staff notified school resource officers and a debrief is scheduled.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6428143,"School board approves meeting agenda, consent items and moves first‑reading policies to a block; votes to enter closed session",2388,84000,2472000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5888309-56afcdbb3008df14273f808b5972894d&start=84&end=2472","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5888309-56afcdbb3008df14273f808b5972894d/thumbnail_84000.jpg","/articles/6428143/Virginia/School-board-approves-meeting-agenda-consent-items-and-moves-firstreading-policies-to-a-block-votes-to-enter-closed-session","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6428143-a2b3f714bd0264c5a569cb19c983041f/orig.mp4?Expires=1773582446&Signature=DCzDpSnOS6PdxeAoAYyTrBD9lIcAqJuPo60MErphauDiUOTFYQeFBrw2p3Gfc8LS1HP0tOr1S9L8QuOwhEIzXc6oRif2SGkt6iuZFcyfvpYAzlsY-BAcF71TQBYx6FCGQwx4tI79JE-Vfgs9oBDiTdyJ0khWHYm9w6kXxVs~2MK9FYdXPAymOPIHn~s~EdnKgECdLXVcU9wQ2vba2sztTLfDHxKm7-armf8MeEBBOwBu-T4GBT-l5X6GkIzbCAQvWpP5KKo9iUk4pFRoRlCXpiS3jCuOqie-M7v8cSDdEXjE3pY6OjXKCk7E0K47Bni3HkGV7K4gZ45Xoa6VsyVOMg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Washington County Public Schools board unanimously approved the meeting agenda and a block of routine business items on Oct. 16, then voted to convene a closed session to consider personnel matters under the Code of Virginia.

Board members approved the agenda after a motion to adopt the agenda was made and seconded. The board then approved a consent agenda covering items 6.01 through 6.23 following a motion from Mr. Henderson. Later the board moved items 7.01–7.05 (first‑reading policy items) as a block for deliberation and approved that motion.

The board concluded its public session by voting to enter a closed session, citing the legal authority for personnel deliberations. The motion referenced Code of Virginia § 2.2‑3711, which the board identified as the basis for discussing specified employment, resignation, retirement and assignment matters in closed session.

The public votes were taken by voice; the board chair announced “All in favor” for the motions recorded in the public minutes.

No roll‑call vote tallies or formal recorded dissent were announced on the public record for these actions; where a mover or seconder was not identified in the transcript, the motion is recorded here as “not specified.” The closed‑session motion lists the categories of personnel business the board said it intended to discuss, including employment, transfers and retirements.

The actions taken on routine agenda and consent items put the board’s fiscal, policy and personnel work on a typical procedural track ahead of scheduled committee reports and presentations this fall.","At its Oct. 16 meeting, the Washington County Public Schools board approved the meeting agenda, a multi‑item consent agenda and a block vote to consider several first‑reading policies together; it also voted to enter a closed session to discuss personnel matters under Virginia law.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6428127,"District highlights Cultivated Ed Leadership Academy; participants propose advisory, community‑scholar and driver‑education projects",526,2497000,3023000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5888309-56afcdbb3008df14273f808b5972894d&start=2497&end=3023","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5888309-56afcdbb3008df14273f808b5972894d/thumbnail_2497000.jpg","/articles/6428127/Virginia/District-highlights-Cultivated-Ed-Leadership-Academy-participants-propose-advisory-communityscholar-and-drivereducation-projects","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6428127-49918cba88681b20b469f2c5a7e4547c/orig.mp4?Expires=1773582446&Signature=Ar4uTZ4XbvVKl9zrQfntildRKYc4ThoBlsRb8u-2pH5eKtwmHw-k0wGxbUpg0Sr97xJMZoStWuM3HDu9gcmnb5E3tEvXzEaJEtPvccj97odHRSMM0MH4AlcxnsztVr6a06hlPTQTqpDBcutkyc2e99VyKp4cg6KW2rhrhPuPy3rxDF2Kg8yZc30Nq4XtH5~9W5S-OIv3MJh3OeRHt0X8khp-KpiBPLzlEyDLenhXeGB3DwmPSHbRX1ikCA63eUNkF52hnG6gacwCKp3bqhFdHqF3ojTTqnxV2aYxqC7DzpvCyuaaRL27IK4CiFs427Bl88tSbwgUHDhNG-EIgk8hlw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","District administrators and academy participants presented an update on the Cultivated Education Leadership Academy the board created as a board goal. Mr. Lambert introduced three participants: Miss Hensley (dean of students, East Stanley), Miss Manas Baez (assistant principal) and Miss Andrea Garrett (dean of students, Gladespring Middle School and Damascus Middle School).

Participants described mentorship placements across school levels, a summer book study (Leaders Eat Last) and improvement projects chosen through a needs poll. Project work includes:

- Advisories: piloting a vertically aligned advisory curriculum using the CharacterStrong materials (grades 9–12) to support social‑emotional learning, connectedness and career/college planning.
- Washington County Community Scholars: a plan to revamp the program beginning at fifth grade and continuing through high school with community service projects; presenters aimed for a 2026–27 launch.
- Rural driver’s education: adapting driver education to local road conditions and rural hazards (for example, farm vehicles and animal crossings) rather than emphasizing roundabout practice.
- Remote learning day review: assessing pros and cons and options for future remote learning design.

Andrea Garrett and Miss Montsebias (participant) said the mentorship experiences and networking with veteran administrators were valuable for stepping into leadership roles. District leaders told the board that seven participants from the academy have moved into administrative roles this year.

The program grew from a board goal established two years ago; presenters said the academy helps the district develop leaders from within the county and supports several division‑wide initiatives.","District staff presented progress on the Cultivated Education Leadership Academy.

Board members described Project ADAM as a program ensuring an AED is obtainable within three minutes of any point in a school and included staff training exercises to prepare for cardiac events. The work grew from conversations with a family whose student has cardiac needs; EB Stanley staff organized training and coordination with the school community.

Board members said the district is looking at other schools for similar adoption and praised the principal and staff who organized the effort. No districtwide mandate or new funding was announced; board members said they will evaluate expanding Project ADAM to additional schools.","A school‑level Project ADAM program — training staff and ensuring AEDs are within a three‑minute reach — is operating at EB Stanley Elementary and the district is exploring expanding the program to other schools, board members said.","actionData","errors"]
