School representative thanks supervisors for budget support; board told Dr. Martha Martin will be superintendent July 1
Summary
A school official representing the school board thanked supervisors for budget support, announced the appointment of Dr. Martha Martin as superintendent effective July 1, 2025, and discussed enrollment and funding-match concerns underlying local funding decisions.
A school representative identified as Meyer addressed the board to thank supervisors for supporting the upcoming school budget and said the school board had named Dr. Martha Martin as the next superintendent of Nottoway County Public Schools beginning July 1, 2025. Meyer said the district appreciates the county's continued partnership and noted the last day of school is June 5 and graduation is scheduled for June 7.
Supervisors asked about the school budget totals and enrollment figures. Meyer said the district ended March with about 1,658 students and budgeted conservatively for 1,700 next year; she noted a federal grant this year inflated the total budget figure and that some state and federal programs require a local match. The board discussed how local contributions support grant eligibility and at‑risk programs; supervisors were reminded that reducing the local match could jeopardize additional state funds.
