Summary
The board voted to change two half days to full instructional days in the 2026–27 calendar, discussed a proposed Wyatt Middle School track and other athletics programs (no final approval), approved four policies on first read, and approved student- and personnel-related recommendations following closed sessions.
During the Feb. 9 meeting the Greensville County School Board approved several administrative actions and considered community proposals.
Calendar revision: The board approved a motion to revise the 2026–27 calendar, converting two planned half days (Feb. 25 and March 25) into full instructional days to recover lost instructional time from inclement weather. The motion carried by voice vote.
Wyatt Middle School athletics: A community and school presenter outlined plans to start a middle-school track program in spring, JV soccer in spring (pending middle-school sign-ups), middle-school cross country in fall, a high-school Scholastic Bowl in fall, and JV girls basketball in fall. The presenter said the middle school lacks a running track and proposed using the high school track for practices and meets, and that coach supplements would likely come from the board while equipment could be shared. Board members asked for a work-session follow-up; no final approval was taken for the track program at this meeting.
Policy first reads: The board accepted four policies on first reading: emergency first aid/CPR for certified personnel, teaching about drugs/alcohol/tobacco, threat assessment teams, and safety drills. The board approved the policies as a first read (no final adoption recorded).
Closed sessions and personnel/student approvals: The board held two closed sessions—one for student hearings and one to interview prospective candidates and consider personnel matters—both certified on return to open session. After the first closed session the board approved student-matter recommendations discussed in closed session. After the second closed session the board approved "all personnel matters discussed in closed session" as presented; the meeting record does not disclose confidential details discussed in closed session.
The meeting adjourned after the final approvals.
