Bland supervisors adopt one-year exemption for county schools from Virginia styrofoam ban
Summary
The Board unanimously adopted a resolution exempting Bland County Public Schools from compliance with Virginia Code Section 10.1-1414 for one year beginning July 1, 2025, on June 24.
The Bland County Board of Supervisors voted June 24 to adopt a resolution granting Bland County Public Schools a one-year exemption from compliance with Virginia Code Section 10.1-1414 (the state styrofoam ban), effective July 1, 2025.
Supervisor Patrick Groseclose moved to adopt the resolution; Supervisor Keith Costello seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously. The resolution, as stated in the meeting record, provides an exemption for the county school division for a one-year period beginning July 1, 2025.
The transcript records the Board’s adoption of the resolution but does not include detailed rationale in the meeting text, nor does it record a staff presentation explaining how the exemption will be implemented or whether the school division requested the exemption in writing. The motion text and vote are included in the official minutes and were recorded during the June 24 meeting.
County staff and the school division will need to coordinate implementation details and any procurement or food-service changes necessary to comply with the temporary exemption once the one-year period begins.
