School board approves increased local match for WVU Extension service to $8,500
Summary
The board voted to raise the district's contribution to the WVU Extension local match from $6,000 to $8,500 (34% share), aligning with a proposed total local match of $25,000; the superintendent recommended the increase and the motion passed.
The Pendleton County Board of Education voted to increase its local contribution to the WVU Cooperative Extension service from $6,000 to $8,500 to maintain the district's 34% share of a proposed $25,000 total local match.
The superintendent reviewed the request and said the extension office asked both the county commission and the school board to increase the combined local match from approximately $17,600 to $25,000. "If we are contributing $6,000 of the $17,600, we are contributing 34%. 34% of 25,000 comes out to 8,500," the presenter said when explaining the calculation.
Nut graf: Board members discussed the percentage relationship between the board and county contributions; the board accepted the superintendent's recommendation and voted to raise the school district’s share to $8,500.
The motion carried after a second and a vote. The board did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript; minutes reflect the motion passed. District staff said they will follow up with the extension director to confirm whether the extension will present formally and to coordinate the FY26 request.
Ending: District staff will notify the extension office of the board’s decision and coordinate next steps for the FY26 funding request.
