Summary

Charlottesville City Schools' joint work session opened with two procedural actions: the board approved Miss Richardson’s remote participation and adopted the meeting agenda by voice votes. No substantive budget decisions were finalized at the session.

Superintendent Dr. Gurley opened the joint Charlottesville City Schools–City Council work session and the school board first handled routine business.

Early in the meeting a board member moved “to allow Miss Richardson to participate remotely” because of a professional work conflict; another member seconded the motion and the board approved it by voice vote. The board then moved and seconded approval of the proposed meeting agenda, which also passed by voice vote.

The roll call that followed recorded attendance from council and board members and confirmed the meeting’s start. These procedural items set the meeting up for a presentation by school and city staff on preliminary FY27 budget priorities and student performance data.

No substantive budget votes occurred at this session; staff presented preliminary figures and asked board and council members to return for further work sessions to refine numbers and priorities.
