Summary
The board approved consent items and minutes, heard committee reports on Brunswick Virtual Academy expansion (corrected to grades 1–12), approved a $2.27 million roof contract for South Brunswick High on the consent agenda, and approved personnel and closed‑session minutes before adjourning.
At the March 3 meeting, the Brunswick County Board of Education approved its consent agenda, heard committee reports on curriculum and operations, and completed routine personnel business.
The curriculum committee reported a plan to expand the Brunswick Virtual Academy so it would be available to students who reside in Brunswick County but were not already enrolled in Brunswick County Schools. A correction was noted in the meeting record that the expansion would open to grades 1–12, not kindergarten–12 as originally stated. The curriculum report also said staff reviewed three phonics program options and will forward those choices to a curriculum review team for further evaluation. The committee presented an integrated services contract amendment and a Boys and Girls Club memorandum of understanding for after‑school and summer programming.
The operations committee reported a recommended winning bid of $2,266,400 for the South Brunswick High School roof replacement to be funded from the district’s capital outlay budget, and it described a custodial contract amendment that reallocates funds after consolidating custodial contracts.
The consent items, including the phonics program choices to move forward in the curriculum review process and the operations recommendations, were approved by motion of Miss Smith and second by Mister Barger. The board also approved the regular meeting minutes from Feb. 12 and committee minutes from Feb. 17. Superintendent Cole congratulated the transportation team on a third‑place finish at the state school bus rodeo and summarized positive bond outreach in the community.
After a brief closed session, the board approved the personnel list as presented and approved closed‑session minutes from Feb. 12 and Feb. 17. Miss Cook moved to adjourn and Mister Barger seconded; the board voted in favor and the meeting adjourned.
