Summary
The Edgecombe County Board of Education approved Budget Amendment No. 1 (revising the district budget to about $96,547,593), reauthorized Princeville Elementary as a restart school, approved policy updates and consent items (including a Title II Part A application for $55,743.57), and cleared personnel and extracurricular measures by voice vote.
The Edgecombe County Board of Education approved multiple administrative actions at its Feb. 10 meeting, including a budget amendment that the district finance presenter summarized as bringing the revised total budget to $96,547,593 (as of Jan. 31, 2025).
Budget amendment: A staff presenter described Budget Amendment No. 1 and referenced DPI allotment revision materials and carryover from the prior year. The presenter told the board the district's revised total budget is "$96,547,593" and asked for approval of the amendment. A board member moved to approve Budget Amendment No. 1 for FY 2024–25; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Princeville Elementary reauthorization: The board approved continued authorization for Princeville Elementary School to operate under the restart model after a presentation that the school met expectations for continued authorization.
Policies and consent items: The board accepted committee recommendations, approved several revised policies and a new policy for first reading (policy 5.150 — reporting to external parties), and approved the consent agenda, which included extended-day field trips, fundraisers, and submission of a Title II Part A application to NCDPI for PRC 115 ($55,743.57). The consent agenda also included a $10,000 monetary donation to W.R. Long to support student activities.
Facilities and extracurricular approvals: The board approved a waiver of community-use facility rental fees for the Epsilon Sigma Lambda chapter for meetings at JW Parker Middle School, with the district charging only required custodian costs. The board also approved extracurricular addenda for winter and spring sports as presented.
Personnel and closed session: Under a motion citing North Carolina's open meetings statute, the board entered closed session to consider personnel matters, attorney–client privileged consultation, and student-record confidentiality under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (20 U.S.C. § 1232g). After returning to open session, the board approved personnel-management items presented in closed session. The meeting adjourned after additional routine votes.
Votes were recorded as voice votes throughout the meeting; the transcript records motions, seconding, and unanimous or majority “aye” responses but does not include roll-call tallies in the public record.
