School board approves three budget amendments, and votes to suspend two students
Summary
The board approved three budget amendments — $50,000 for School Nutrition, use of a $407,202 VPSA grant plus a $101,800 local match for Chromebooks, and a $81,313.32 SIG amendment — and approved motions to long‑term suspend two students; votes were recorded by voice and no roll‑call tallies were provided in the transcript.
At the budget and finance portion of the meeting, Miss Mitchell (finance staff) presented three budget amendments the board approved by voice vote.
The first amendment requested a $50,000 appropriation from the School Nutrition fund balance for fiscal‑year 2026 to cover remaining expenses.
The second amendment asked to apply $407,202 in VPSA grant funds to the capital fund to purchase additional Chromebooks and to use $101,800 from reserve fund balance to meet the required local match.
The third amendment detailed a School Improvement Grant (SIG) budget amendment for $81,313.32 to fund professional development and related supplies for elementary educators.
Each amendment was put forward, seconded and approved by the board by voice vote; the transcript records "Aye" responses but does not include a roll‑call vote or named tallies.
Separately, during matters of the board, a board member moved to long‑term suspend student number 72077 through the end of the 2025‑26 school year; a subsequent motion proposed long‑term suspension for student number 52125 through the end of 2025‑26 and into the first semester of 2026‑27 with placement specified. Both motions were seconded and approved by voice vote.
The meeting record in the transcript reflects the motions and voice votes but does not provide detailed written findings or named vote tallies for any of these actions.
