The Louisa County School Board voted on multiple agenda items, adopting the fiscal year 2025–26 operating budget and approving other contractual and grant actions by voice vote.
Budget adoption: A motion to adopt the FY2025–26 operating budget passed by voice vote. The motion as read included an operating budget of $99,846,149; grant fund balance of $3,181,967; food services fund $3,462,681; and debt service of $2,673,224.87. The board chair called for the vote and members responded “aye.” The motion was recorded as carried unanimously.
Bus lease extension: The board approved a contract extension to lease up to six school buses for the June 2025 period under the district’s standard contract. The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote; board members described it as the same standard lease the district has used previously.
Vaping-education grant: The board approved a grant of just over $10,000 from the state education office (referred to as BDOE in the presentation) to support vaping-education activities for students and families. The grant is intended for educational tools and program support and the motion passed by voice vote following a second.
Procedure and public hearing notes: The board opened a second public hearing on the school budget; no members of the public spoke during that hearing. Board members and staff reiterated the budget figures are based on the governor’s proposed numbers and the general assembly process; staff said the final state appropriation and health insurance negotiations could require later amendments and that they will present any needed adjustments to the board.
