Board approves $20,000 federal appropriation for teacher support
Summary
Superintendent's representative reported the school division's final average daily membership and asked the board to approve a $20,000 appropriation in federal Title II funds to support teacher endorsements and dual-enrollment credentials; the board approved the appropriation by voice vote.
A school official delivered the school division's finance and program update and asked the board to approve a $20,000 federal appropriation tied to Title II support for teacher professional development.
The speaker reported final average daily membership (ADM) of 1,483.4 for the year and listed several program recognitions and graduation counts. For finance, operating-expenditure percentages were reported and staff noted the cafeteria fund maintained a larger carry-forward balance to insulate against price shocks. The appropriation request was described as part of a larger $500,000 set-aside by the Virginia Department of Education for districts in high-need areas; the local request covers $20,000 with little or no local match required.
A supervisor moved to approve the $20,000 appropriation from federal funds; the motion carried by voice vote. The board thanked the schools representative and congratulated staff and students for recognitions earlier in the meeting.
