Loading...
Summary
At its April 27 meeting the King and Queen County School Board adopted VSBA policy updates and approved the 2026–27 special education and CTE Perkins plans, accepted a March donations report and reviewed the budget; one board member sought attorney review of some policies and a member voted no on the consent agenda over personnel concerns.
The King and Queen County School Board on April 27 approved a package of policy and program items, including VSBA policy updates, the 2026–27 special education plan and the 2026–27 CTE Perkins plan, and accepted the March donations report.
Chair (speaker 1) opened the meeting and moved the action items forward. On the VSBA policy updates, the board took a third reading and voted to adopt the package after discussion. One board member (speaker 6) registered opposition to the policy approvals pending legal review, saying, “The reason why I'm opposed is because I'm asking the attorney to come to the table.” The transcript does not record an attorney review being tabled; the board moved ahead and the motion passed.
The 2026–27 special education plan was presented as submitted and approved following a motion; one member signaled conditional acceptance "with plan of audit." The board also approved the CTE Perkins plan for 2026–27 after a motion and second; poll responses were read and the motion passed.
Staff presented the March donations report, listing community contributions such as a $500 gift from Auto Clinic, $600 from a Moose Lodge, an anonymous $200 donation for a JROTC ball and in‑kind donations including museum passes and gift cards. The board moved to accept the donations report and polled members; one board member voted no on an earlier consent vote citing personnel concerns.
Finance staff reviewed the March 31 financial report showing year‑to‑date operating and school food revenues and projected remaining revenue; the presenter noted operating fund figures and that some expenses and revenues are recognized after year end due to accruals.
What’s next: several action items were noted as future agenda items, including the student code of conduct to be presented next month. The meeting then moved to public comment.
