Board approves $20,000 in Title II federal funds for teacher credentials and endorsements
Summary
The board approved a $20,000 appropriation in federal Title II funds to support teacher endorsements and dual-enrollment credential attainment; staff reported no significant local match required and provided monthly finance updates.
The Amelia County Board of Supervisors approved an appropriation of $20,000 in federal Title II funding to offset costs for teacher endorsements and dual-enrollment credential attainment.
A county presenter (identified in the meeting as "Mister Trump," speaker 4) delivered the school report and said the appropriation is part of a larger $500,000 set-aside from the Virginia Department of Education to support educators in high-need areas. He provided financial percent-of-budget figures for April and noted the district’s final ADM for the year was 1,483.4 and that the district had 115 graduates.
Supervisor (speaker 2) moved to approve the $20,000 appropriation from federal funds with no local match; the board voted by hand raise and the chair announced the motion carried.
Staff noted the Title II funds require little or no local match and are intended to support teacher credentialing and professional development. The board’s vote will allow the school division to use the funds for endorsements and dual-enrollment credential attainment as presented.
