Board approves school carryforwards, $250,000 appropriation pending state decision
Summary
The board approved two school appropriations: $250,000 in local match pending Virginia Department of Education guidance on a security grant extension, and $82,538.65 in federal Title I carryforward funds to support summer and fall expenditures.
School officials updated the board on the coming school year and presented several appropriation requests connected to grant carryforwards. A school representative (S13) briefed supervisors on personnel convocation dates and open houses while a finance representative (S14) provided the June finance report and outlined the appropriation requests.
"So this evening, we are requesting an appropriation in the amount of $250,000 to local revenues and expenditures as we await a final decision from the Virginia Department of Education on whether or not we're allowed an extension of last year's significant security grant award," S14 said, explaining that local match costs had already been covered in FY25 expenditures and that no new local funding would be required for the request. S14 also asked the board to approve carrying forward $82,538.65 in federal Title I grant funds to liquidate planned summer and early‑fall expenditures.
Committee member (S2) moved to approve both appropriations and the board approved the motion by raised hands. Staff said the security grant local match is already accounted for in FY25 spending and that school staff had shared a draft resolution and budget materials with the county attorney for review before any formal adoption.
The board’s action authorizes staff to record and spend those grant balances once federal/state confirmation and final accounting are complete; staff and auditors will reconcile year‑end reporting as the files close.
