Hampton school board approves agenda, consent items and moves budget and loan measures to action in unanimous votes
Summary
At its June 4 meeting the Hampton City School Board unanimously approved the evening agenda and consent agenda, moved two deliberation items (a Virginia Literary Fund loan resolution and revised FY24–25 budgets) to action, and approved a block of 15 action items that included the loan and budget revisions.
The Hampton City School Board on June 4 took a series of unanimous procedural and action votes, including approval of the meeting agenda, the consent agenda and a block vote that moved several deliberation items into action and approved them.
Chair Richard Mason called the meeting to order and after roll call the board approved the evening agenda on a motion by Mr. Kilgore, seconded by Mr. Samuels. The board then approved the consent agenda (personnel report 25‑09; minutes of 05/21/2025; school board donations for June 2025) on a motion moved by Mr. Kilgore and seconded by Miss Cherry.
Later in the deliberations portion of the meeting the board voted to move two items from deliberation to action: 5.01, a resolution and temporary promissory note to access a Virginia Literary Fund loan for the Bethel High School science wing (the city council had approved a companion resolution on May 28 authorizing use of up to $20,000,000); and 5.02, the revised fiscal year 2024–25 school board budgets for Fund 50 (school operating) and Fund 95 (instructional resource toolkit). Both motions to move the items to action were made by Mr. Kilgore and carried unanimously.
The board then considered the full action docket and approved items 6.01 through 6.15 as a single block motion, moved by Miss Jackson Afongia and seconded by Mr. Kilgore. The block included the literary loan resolution and the revised Fund 50 and Fund 95 budgets; the board’s vote to approve the block carried with all members recorded as aye.
