The Powhatan County School Board approved its 2025 meeting dates, locations and times by a unanimous vote. Board members discussed moving the June meeting from the second week to the third to accommodate travel schedules, but the board kept the June meeting on the originally proposed date.

A board member raised concern that the May meeting falls on the night the county planning commission meets; staff explained the schedule alignment was driven by county budget deadlines requiring the school board to supply a final budget to the county on its timeline.

After public comment closed, the board voted to convene a closed session to discuss student admissions and discipline, personnel matters including evaluation of the superintendent, probable or actual litigation and security-related information. The motion cited Virginia Code sections recited in the meeting (including 2.2-3711(A)(1),(A)(2),(A)(4),(A)(7) and 2.2-3705.2 subparts referenced in the transcript). The motion to enter closed session carried 5–2.

The board returned to open session later (not captured in the provided excerpt) for any required certification of the closed session, as is routine under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act procedures.
