Board approves $407,172 state budget adjustment and $3.02 million school carryover
Summary
Supervisors approved a $407,172 budget adjustment (state funds, no locality impact) and allowed the Nottoway County Public Schools to carry over $3,024,096.75 in state funds for encumbrances, capital priorities and student programs.
The board approved two school finance items: a budget adjustment of $407,172 representing additional state funding (with no locality match required) and a separate carryover of $3,024,096.75 in school funds into the next fiscal year to cover encumbered purchase orders and capital needs.
Dr. Martin (speaker 29), representing the school division, explained the $407,172 adjustment is state aid targeted to special education, English learner support and summer school; she told the board it carries no local cost. The larger carryover includes approximately $2.1 million of unencumbered direct aid and $839,000 of encumbered funds (purchase orders and obligations), plus small revenue items. The school division said it plans to place about $800,000 into a money‑market account to preserve capital funding and prioritize security vestibules and HVAC/roof repairs across schools.
The board voted to approve the budget adjustment and then approved the carryover motion. Supervisors asked for greater specificity on capital priorities and said they would review a prioritized punch list in upcoming work sessions; school staff said they will provide such a list and already track critical needs including HVAC, roofs and security vestibules.
