The Bedford County School Board recorded the following formal actions during the meeting:
• Approval of meeting agenda: Motion to approve the agenda as presented was moved by Mr. Daniels and seconded by Mr. Holbrook. The board voted in favor ("Aye").
• Approval — RFQ: Health consultant: The board recommended switching to a new vendor for health‑care consulting after a joint RFQ process with the county. The recommendation was approved; the motion to approve was moved and seconded and the board voted in favor. (No dollar amount was adopted at the meeting; staff said the change is expected to be cost‑neutral or modestly cheaper.)
• Approval — RFQ: Legal services (general counsel): The board considered two responses to a request for qualifications. After staff feedback and board discussion of experience and potential savings, the board voted to retain Litton & Site (firm name transcribed from meeting as presented) as general counsel for non‑IEP work. Motion and second were made and the motion passed.
• Closed session and certification: The board voted to enter a closed session under Virginia Code §2.2‑3711(A)(1) (personnel) and §2.2‑3711(A)(19) (school safety, consultation with law enforcement). The board later reconvened in open session and certified compliance with the Virginia Freedom of Information Act. Members recorded their votes on the certification as required; one board member said they would abstain from that certification vote.
• Consent agenda and adjournment: The board approved the consent agenda and then voted to adjourn the meeting.
Detailed motions and recorded movers/seconders as stated in the meeting transcript are summarized in the actions array below. Vote counts were not recorded verbatim in the transcript beyond 'Aye' and the two brief indications of an abstention and unanimous approvals; the outcome field records the stated result in the transcript (approved/denied).
