Board approves calendar, meeting schedule and multiple consent items; reconvenes to closed session

At its open meeting the Fluvanna County School Board handled several routine action items and voted to reconvene into closed session to complete outstanding personnel and student-case business.

The board approved the minutes of the prior meeting (with allowances for absent members to abstain), monthly claims (consent item 6b), and an overnight field trip for the FMS drone competition. The board also approved the 2024-25 academic calendar as presented.

A procedural motion amended the agenda to add action item 12b addressing closed-session scheduling for the next meeting; the board later voted to set the closed session for April 9 to begin at 3:00 p.m. Eastern with open session at 6:30 p.m. Eastern. Members then recognized the school board clerk, Brandy, with a certificate and student artwork before moving back into closed session to resolve outstanding items.
