FLVS board approves consent agenda, budget amendment and multiple pay plans

The Florida Virtual School Board of Trustees on a series of unanimous voice votes approved an omnibus consent agenda, a fiscal-year budget amendment and a set of salary and performance-pay measures affecting FLVS employees and its enterprise operations.

The actions matter because they revise projected fund balances across FLVS funds and set compensation rules that take effect July 1, 2025, affecting instructional and support staff and FlexPoints sales personnel.

The board approved the consent agenda (agenda items 5.1–5.3 and 6.1–6.4) by omnibus motion. The consent items included: an increase in contract spend authority (5.1), the annual benefits program approval (5.2), employee contract templates (5.3), the district English language learners plan for 2025–28 (6.1), reappointments to the FLVS Foundation Board of Directors (6.2), the FLVS quarterly staff data report (6.3), and disposal of surplus assets (6.4). The board voted to adopt the recommended actions; no roll-call tallies were provided in the transcript.

On finances, the board adopted Budget Amendment No. 3 for FY2024–25 (agenda item 7.1). The amendment adjusted ending fund balances as follows: the general fund net decrease of $96,600 (from $129,300,000 to $129,200,000), the internal service fund net increase of $1,600,000 (from $27,300,000 to $28,900,000), and the enterprise fund net increase of $2,500,000 (from $70,700,000 to $73,200,000). The amendment also reflected revenue and appropriation revisions explained in the presentation; board materials noted increased FEFP and interest revenue contributing to projected revenue growth at year end.

The board approved an omnibus salary schedule for FY2025–26 (agenda item 7.2) to cover support staff, instructional administration, instructional staff, FlexPoints staff, information-technology personnel, Florida Scholars Academy staff and other FLVS personnel, with the schedule effective July 1, 2025.

Separately, the board approved an instructional-personnel compensation adjustment (agenda item 7.3) that awards lump-sum increases to instructional staff based on years of continuous service as of July 1, 2025: $1,000 for 5–9 years of service, $2,000 for 10–14 years and $3,000 for 15 or more years. If approved, the adjustment will be effective July 1, 2025.

The board also approved a $5,000 performance-pay plan for eligible support staff (agenda item 7.4). Eligibility requires all annual evaluation components to be rated only “effective” or “highly effective” and a summative rating of “highly effective” on the FY2025–26 evaluation, plus the employee must be in good standing and employed by FLVS on the distribution date. The board was told payments will be included in the proposed FY2026–27 budget and made once evaluations are finalized.

Finally, the board approved the FlexPoints sales performance-pay plan for FY2025–26 (agenda item 7.5), described in board materials as intended to drive national business and increase organizational return on investment.

The board also authorized publication and public notice for a set of proposed board policies, revisions and repeals for first reading (agenda item 8.1) and subsequently held the public hearing and voted to adopt the proposed policy and repeal package at agenda item 9.1 following the hearing and one caller’s public comment.

All motions presented in the record carried on voice votes with the recorded outcome “motion carries” or “motion carries. All opposed? Motion carries.” Specific roll-call tallies or individual yea/nay counts were not recorded in the transcript for these votes.

The board adjourned following closing remarks.
