Summary
The Spartanburg School District 02 board moved to approve submission of Title grant applications, the school ministries release-time application, strategic-plan updates, certified and administrative appointments and an 8% bond resolution authorizing debt not to exceed $20,000,000 for capital projects.
At its meeting, the Spartanburg School District 02 board approved a set of routine but consequential business items, including federal grant applications, personnel appointments and an annual bond resolution.
District staff asked the board to approve sending applications for federal Title funding for the upcoming school year. Staff reported approximate annual amounts from recent awards: Title I about $2,600,000; Title II about $460,000; Title III about $130,000; Title IV about $197,000; and career and technical education funding near $198,000, plus a work-based learning allocation of roughly $192,000. A board member moved to approve submitting the Title 1–4 and career/technical funding applications for the 2627 school year; another member seconded and the chair called for a vote.
The board also approved the annual school ministries release-time application for middle-school students, and it authorized submission of district strategic-plan and school-renewal updates that the district must file with the state Department of Education by April 30.
Human Resources presented certified appointments for the 2526 and 2627 school years and recommended administrative appointments and contract approvals. A board member disclosed a potential conflict of interest related to a certified-staff contract on list B and recused herself from that discussion; the item proceeded with a motion and a second on the record.
On finance matters, the board heard the general-fund revenue and expenditures report through March and was reminded of a budget work session set for Monday, April 20 at 6:00 p.m. The finance presenter asked the board to approve the district’s annual 8% bond resolution for the 2627 year. The resolution as presented authorized debt not to exceed $20,000,000 to fund capital projects, technology upgrades and maintenance needs.
Procedural note: motions for these routine items were made, seconded and put to a vote in each case; the meeting record shows the chair calling for votes after discussion.
What’s next: The district will continue with the budget work session and will prepare grant application materials and plan-submission signatures as required by state deadlines.
