Colonial Heights school board approves consent agenda and final FY23 budget amendment
Summary
The Colonial Heights City Public Schools Board approved its consent agenda including policy updates and finalized fiscal-year 2023 budget revisions after auditors' adjustments, with roll-call votes recorded. A separate proposal to compensate teachers for state literacy modules was discussed but not voted on in the transcript.
The Colonial Heights City Public Schools School Board voted to approve its consent agenda and adopt financial revisions needed to close out fiscal year 2023, board leaders said.
Board Chair (Speaker 4) summarized the consent package, which included minutes from July 23, 2024 (special and regular meetings), annual policy updates on parent and family engagement and district parent involvement, BSPA policy updates on second reading, a 2024'025 memorandum of agreement with a community services partner and a 2024'025 designation of the district's financial institution. "I have a motion for the option of the consent agenda," the chair said before members voted.
Finance staff (Speaker 10) told the board the packet included the July board reports and noted auditors had proposed final revenue and expenditure adjustments for FY23. "The revenue budget revision final '23 and the expenditure budget revision final '23 are the final adjustments from the auditors," Speaker 10 said, asking the board to adopt the amendment to finalize the year.
A motion to approve the financial report was made and a roll-call vote followed. Multiple members answered "Yes" when called by the clerk (Speaker 3), and the financial amendment was adopted as presented.
Why it matters: Finalizing FY23 closes the district's books for the prior year and allows staff to move forward with FY24 planning with auditor-reconciled figures.
What happened next: During the meeting the board also discussed a separate item proposing district compensation for state-required literacy training modules for teachers; the transcript records discussion and a request for a motion but does not record a completed vote on that item.
The board moved on to strategic-plan updates and school reports later in the meeting. The meeting proceeded toward adjournment after member comments and a motion related to a tournament.
