School board asks county to reappropriate state retention funds and approve transfers for food service and CIP needs
Summary
The board read and approved a resolution requesting the Page County Board of Supervisors reappropriate $306,286 in state funds for employee retention bonuses, transfer funds to food service for bonus payments, and reappropriate $235,000 to the CIP fund for a bus purchase and facility repairs.
The Page County School Board voted to request that the Page County Board of Supervisors reappropriate state funds and permit transfers so the division can pay one‑time retention bonuses and complete planned capital purchases.
Why it matters: The action pertains to state funding designated for one‑time employee retention bonuses and to capital spending previously agreed with the Board of Supervisors.
Finance staff read Resolution No. 2026‑02 into the record. The resolution states that the district received $306,286 in state funding in fiscal year 2025 intended for one‑time $1,000 bonuses for qualifying instructional and support positions, and that the division voted to use the funds as retention bonuses for returning employees in fiscal year 2026. The resolution requests that the county reappropriate the $306,286 to the operating fund for FY26 with no change to local pre‑appropriations. The read text also states that approximately $17,700 of the compensation supplements will be allocated to food service employees and requests authorization to transfer funds from the operating fund to Fund 5 (food service) to cover those payments. The resolution also asked that $235,000 previously approved by the Board of Supervisors be reappropriated to CIP Fund 2 for purchase of an additional school bus and mezzanine repairs at Luray High School.
On a motion that followed the reading, board members voted to approve the resolution and forward the request to the Board of Supervisors.
Ending: Staff will present the resolution and transfer requests to the Board of Supervisors for formal reappropriation.
