Summary
The board accepted a $185,000 Virginia Department of Education math innovation grant to support instructional materials and PD and approved a separate school security grant exceeding $200,000 previously presented by staff. Both grants were approved by voice votes.
At the Feb. 9 meeting, Lakeisha Reed told the Greensville County School Board that the Virginia Department of Education has awarded the division a $185,000 math innovation grant to strengthen high-quality instructional materials, provide focused professional development, and expand instructional practices in mathematics.
"Virginia Department of Education awarded Greensville County Public School the math innovation grant," Reed said, noting the award will fund instructional materials, professional learning and strategies to improve math outcomes.
Later in the meeting staff reminded the board that a previously presented school security grant exceeds $200,000 and sought board approval for acceptance and allocation. The board moved, seconded, and approved the school security grant by voice vote; staff noted the security grant had been discussed at a prior meeting and the current action formalizes acceptance.
Board members did not provide detailed line-item allocations for either grant during the public meeting; staff indicated previous briefings had covered project details and that further implementation steps will be managed by division administration.
