Board approves $168,502 from CIP to meet Amelia County schools' state match
Summary
The Amelia County Board of Supervisors voted to appropriate $168,502 from capital improvement program (CIP) funds to meet the local match necessary for Amelia County Public Schools (ACPS) to access state funding for FY27, after suspending rules to reconsider a prior denial.
The Amelia County Board of Supervisors voted to appropriate $168,502 from the county's capital improvement program (CIP) to the general fund to meet the minimum local match required for Amelia County Public Schools to certify for available state funds for FY27. The motion to appropriate the funds was moved and carried after the board temporarily suspended its rules to reconsider a prior denial.
Dr. Halper, presenting a joint letter from the school board and the supervisors, said the requested amount "had not been included in the original budget" and asked the board to "identify in its discretion the funding source" while prioritizing replenishing CIP funding later. The request was described as a required match to unlock state funds for the upcoming fiscal year.
Supervisor Morris moved that the board appropriate the $168,502 from CIP funds "for the purposes identified in the request," and the chair called for the vote; the motion carried. The board also approved the joint letter with the school board asking for the appropriation.
The presenters noted the appropriation is intended to preserve access to state education funding; they also asked that if the funds are reallocated from CIP, the board prioritize replenishing those capital accounts from future county revenues. The meeting record does not specify which board member made the motion or the roll-call vote tally by name beyond the chair calling the motion carried.
