Prince George School Board: votes roundup — locker-room policy, Beasley roofing, personnel appointments, grants and codes approved
Summary
At its March 17 meeting, the Prince George County School Board approved a locker-room disciplinary policy, added a Beasley roofing project to its county capital request, accepted a human-resources appointment and multiple personnel items, approved a $10,625 VDOE micro grant and adopted VSBA policy resolutions and codes of conduct.
The Prince George County School Board on March 17 conducted a series of formal actions after closed-session deliberations, approving disciplinary and personnel recommendations, accepting several grants, and directing capital priorities for fiscal carryover funds.
The board voted to adopt a disciplinary policy that imposes a 10-day out-of-school suspension for a student of the opposite gender entering a locker room designated for another gender, with stronger penalties for repeat incidents (motion introduced by board member, speaker 5; passed by roll call). The board also voted to deny an out-of-division enrollment request after hearing administration’s recommendation (administration item presented by speaker 6; roll-call outcome: yes 3, no 2). The board upheld an administrative discipline decision in a separate student-matter vote.
On personnel, the board approved the appointment of the recommended candidate for human-resources director (matter P34 24 25). That appointment passed with three yes votes and two abstentions; the record lists the abstentions in the roll call.
For capital planning, the board debated two FY24 carryover spending options and voted to include the Beasley roofing project in the package the division will submit to the Board of Supervisors. Finance/operations staff presented two columns — one that excluded roofing and one that included Beasley roofing — and the board chose the Beasley Roofing option to carry forward to the county (motion by board member, speaker 5; second by speaker 8; passed by roll call).
The board approved a $10,625 micro grant from the Virginia Department of Education aimed at removing barriers related to academic achievement; the division plans to use the funds for a mental-health fair and family education about social media and cell-phone impacts.
Other formal actions included approving the consent agenda, adopting the Virginia School Boards Association business honor roll nominations (Cameron Foundation, Eagles Club, Roma’s Restaurant), approving VSBA policy updates for later formal adoption, and signing the VSBA code of conduct for board members.
The board returned from its final closed session, certified the meeting’s compliance with the Virginia Freedom of Information Act, accepted employee resignations and other personnel recommendations presented in closed session, and adjourned.
