May County School Board authorizes chair to sign joint letter seeking school funding
Summary
The May County School Board voted to authorize Chair Robin Whittington to sign a joint letter of intent with the county requesting targeted school funding, following discussion about tapping CIP funds and the urgency of replacing failing equipment at the high school.
The May County School Board voted to authorize Robin Whittington, as chair, to sign a joint letter of intent with the May County Board of Supervisors requesting specific school funding. "So we have a motion made and seconded to authorize Robin Whittington as chairman of the May County School Board to sign the joint of May County School Board and May County Board of Supervisors letter of intent regarding certain school funding requests," the Chair said during the motion call.
The motion was approved by voice vote after the board called for those in favor to "please signify by saying aye." Board members had discussed the request in the context of capital improvement program (CIP) priorities and immediate operational needs, including HVAC replacement at the high school. The board described the letter as a formal step to pursue county support and asked the county to prioritize refunding CIP allocations if it reallocated funds from other areas.
