Prince Edward school board approves $2.23 million in federal grants for middle school and students with disabilities
Summary
The Prince Edward County School Board voted to appropriate two federal grants totaling $2,234,704.60 — a middle-school improvement grant and a students-with-disabilities grant — after a presentation by division staff.
Prince Edward County School Board voted to appropriate two grants totaling $2,234,704.60 for middle-school improvement and services for students with disabilities.
Miss Eve Garrett, speaking on behalf of the division, presented the grant request and the total amount, telling the board the awards are for the middle-school improvement grant and the students-with-disabilities grant. After Garrett’s presentation, a board member moved to approve the appropriation and a second was offered. The motion passed on an affirmative voice vote.
The board did not discuss line-by-line budget allocations in the public presentation. Garrett framed the request as action to allow the division to accept and spend the awards. No speaker provided a breakdown in the meeting record of how the total $2,234,704.60 would be distributed between projects or operating categories.
Board Chair Lucy Carson called for the vote; the board responded in the affirmative. The motion to appropriate the funds was recorded as approved during the action-items section of the meeting.
The board’s approval allows staff to move forward with grant administration and spending under the conditions of each award. The division did not announce any required local match or future reporting deadlines at the meeting.
The board will appear on future agendas for any formal budget amendments or follow-up reports required by the grants’ terms.
