Prince Edward school board approves seed grant request, bonus funding and administrative motions
Summary
The Prince Edward County Public Schools board approved forwarding a $44,898.30 seed grant and $181,085 in bonus funding to the Board of Supervisors, authorized surplusing two AS/400 machines, affirmed its out‑of‑county tuition policy, joined a fuel consortium and authorized designated signatories in the superintendent’s absence.
The Prince Edward County Public Schools board on May [date not specified in transcript] approved several administrative items the superintendent asked the board to forward to the Board of Supervisors and to implement immediately.
Miss Jones sought approval to send two appropriation requests to the Board of Supervisors: a seed grant for the elementary school, $44,898.30, and bonus‑payment funding for SOS positions totaling $181,085. After a motion and second, the board voted to approve forwarding those requests. "I come before you this evening seeking approval for 2 items to go for the Board of Supervisors. 1 is the seed grant for the elementary school in the amount of $44,898.30. And the other 1 is for bonus payment funding for our SOS 2 positions in the amount ... $181,085," Miss Jones said.
The board also approved declaring two pieces of AS/400 equipment surplus because the hardware is obsolete. Miss Jones said the sale would include removal of any stored data before transfer: "The person that used to help us with that... will actually remove all of that data before it's actually even sold to the company." Trustees voted to surplus the equipment as presented.
On policy, trustees completed a second reading of JEC‑R (out‑of‑county tuition) and voted to continue the division's current practice of not charging students who enroll from other counties. The board approved participation in the FY 26–27 fuel consortium; Miss Jones and others discussed the timing trade‑offs of locking a rate versus bidding for individual purchases and reminded trustees that June 30 is the fiscal cutoff for rate decisions.
Finally, the board authorized Miss Jones, Mister Good and Miss Garrett to sign documents in Superintendent Dr. Jones’s absence, an annual authorization the board approved unanimously. The board took the actions by motion and voice vote; the transcript records the motions as carried.
