Summary
The King George County School Board unanimously accepted three Virginia Department of Education grants totaling $120,391.65 (security equipment, ACSE, early-childhood incentive), approved four donations, passed the five-year CIP submission to the county, and approved several policy updates and a regulation governing high-school noncurricular organizations.
The board approved multiple consent and action items that move funds and projects forward for the division.
Donations: The board approved four gifts reported for October–November: $500 from the William M. Cage Library Trust to Sealston Elementary School, $1,500 from Virginia Star to King George High School for CTE supplies/equipment, and $500 from Angelie's Angels to each Potomac Elementary and Sealston Elementary for materials.
Grants: The board accepted three awards from the Virginia Department of Education: a $44,256 school security equipment grant (local match $11,064 already budgeted) to support cameras at King George High School; a $74,558.45 Advancing Computer Science Education (ACSE) grant to support curriculum integration and teacher professional development; and a $1,577.20 Provisionally Licensed Teacher incentive award. Motions to accept each grant were made, seconded and carried by voice vote.
CIP: Superintendent Dr. Boyd reviewed the division’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) submission to King George County government—a list of 22 projected projects over the next five years including bus replacements, gym bleacher replacement, track resurfacing and other infrastructure projects. After questions about timing and project scope, the board voted to forward the CIP to the county.
Policy and student-organization regulation: The board completed required annual reviews of three policies (electronic participation and restraint/seclusion policies) and approved updates to the home-instruction policy (LBD) and student-organization policy IGDA. The board also approved regulation IGDA-R2 for secondary non-curricular groups, which added a membership-renewal process, parental permission requirements for renewals and a formal revocation process led by the superintendent.
All motions on the consent agenda, grants, CIP and policies carried; where roll-call votes were not recorded in the transcript, the chair and board members voted by voice and recorded “Aye.”
