Prince Edward school board approves Perkins CTE plan, accepts $9,800 Title I funds and signs off on routine items
Summary
The board voted to approve the 2026–27 Perkins CTE plan (to submit to VDOE), accepted $9,800 in Title I neglected/delinquent funds for the detention center, approved the special‑education annual plan and governance norms, and carried several other routine motions.
The Prince Edward County School Board approved multiple action items during its April meeting, most notably a division Perkins V career and technical education (CTE) plan for the 2026–27 school year and the acceptance of $9,800 in Title I neglected/delinquent funds for the local detention center.
Perkins CTE plan: Mister Lee presented the Perkins proposal and outlined allowable uses — curriculum and instructional materials, industry‑grade equipment, certification and assessment fees, work‑based learning expenses, and staff professional development. Line items in the presentation included placeholders pending final VDOE allocation; the draft budget cited purchase‑service and internal‑service line items and an equipment/capital total of $47,942.74. Program priorities listed included automotive, agriculture, business, culinary arts, drafting/technical drawing, cybersecurity, electronics and industrial robotics, cosmetology, and efforts to restore ASE accreditation and expand credentialing opportunities for students. Lee said the Perkins submission will be made to the Virginia Department of Education prior to April 30, 2026. The board approved the Perkins plan by motion and unanimous vote.
Additional appropriations: The board accepted $9,800 in Title I neglected/delinquent funds for the detention center; a motion was made and passed to accept those funds.
Other approvals: The board moved unanimously to approve a VSBA Excellence in Workforce Readiness Award application (to recognize work‑based learning efforts), unanimously approved the special‑education annual plan (IDEA Part B sections 611 and 619) that allocates federal funds toward four special‑education teachers, four paraprofessionals and one director, and approved governance norms and other routine personnel motions before adjourning.
Why it matters: The Perkins funding and program priorities commit the division to strengthening CTE pathways and supporting credential attainment that local officials described as important for workforce readiness. The special‑education plan formalizes how federal IDEA funds will be used in the district. Acceptance of Title I neglected/delinquent funds ensures services for students housed in the detention center.
Vote notes: Several motions recorded in the meeting were carried unanimously; where the transcript records ‘‘motion carries’’ or ‘‘unanimous,’’ the article reports those outcomes. Specific roll‑call vote tallies were not provided in the transcript for all motions.
