Votes at a glance
- Code of conduct: The board voted to approve the Fluvanna County School Board code of conduct; a hard copy was present and will be signed before members left the meeting.
- Officers and administrative roles: The board approved the vice chair nomination of Mr. Key, continued Miss Kreitzer as clerk, appointed Dr. Grettz as deputy clerk and approved designated superintendent designees (names presented during the meeting).
- Regular meeting schedule: The board affirmed its regular meeting dates for 2025 as the second Wednesday of each month (Jan. 8; Feb. 12; Mar. 12; Apr. 9; May 14; Jun. 11; Jul. 9; Aug. 13; Sep. 10; Oct. 8; Nov. 12; Dec. 10) with closed session beginning at 5:30 p.m. and open session at 6:30 p.m.
- Delegates and alternates: The board approved a slate of delegates and alternates for outside committees (items listed in the meeting packet); the board approved delegates for VSBA, Blue Ridge Governor’s School and other committees and confirmed alternates.
- Student discipline (closed session): After returning from closed session, the board voted to approve student cases 1A, 1B and 1C as presented in closed session.
- Consent agenda and minutes: The board approved the consent agenda items B and C, and approved minutes for Dec. 4 and Dec. 11 with at least one abstention noted for Dec. 11 attendance.
How the votes were taken: Most motions passed by voice vote; speakers recorded "aye" when asked and the chair cast the tie/deciding vote where recorded. Several motions received a single second and no public roll‑call tally with named yes/no votes was recorded.
Why it matters: These governance votes set the board’s operational framework for 2025 — who represents the district to regional and state organizations, when the board will meet, and a code that governs member conduct. The approval of student cases completes the board’s legal obligations following a closed‑session review.
What’s next: Board members signed the physical code of conduct following approval; staff will continue to follow up on other agenda items and the board will consider policy revisions (including Learning Resources Committee policy) at future meetings.
