At its May 1 meeting, the Charlottesville City School Board approved several formal actions by voice vote.
• Consent agenda: The board approved the meeting’s consent agenda after a motion and second.
• Special education annual plan (FY25–26): The board approved the special education annual plan as presented with a modification to fund a structured teaching position at Charlottesville High School through the general fund and to shift some supports to personnel to provide additional physical therapy. The motion to approve the modification was moved and seconded and adopted.
• One-time retention bonus (FY25): The board authorized a one-time $1,000 retention bonus for all staff, with an estimated total cost of about $921,710 to be paid from FY25 funds. Staff presented the proposal as an onetime retention measure while the FY26 budget conversation remains paused until state budget actions are finalized.
• Policy JC and elementary rezoning: The board voted to approve policy JC with the deletion of the fifth bullet in section A (a proposed limitation on athletic participation for students who transfer outside their attendance zone). The board then approved the superintendent’s recommendation for elementary-school rezoning as presented.
All listed items were approved by voice vote during the May 1 meeting. Board members discussed each item briefly at the dais and asked staff for follow-up materials and clarity on budgetary and implementation details where appropriate.
