Summary
The Smyth County Board of Supervisors voted to schedule a public hearing on June 18 at 5 p.m. to consider Budget Amendment No. 7, described in committee as totaling $5,002,000 (packet cites $2,000 in a Commonwealth's Attorney grant and approximately $5,000,000 tied to school-board revenues).
The board voted to schedule a public hearing on June 18 at 5 p.m. to consider Budget Amendment No. 7, which the budget committee described in the packet as totaling $5,002,000.
Committee discussion identified $2,000 in grant funding from the Commonwealth's Attorney junior-attorney program and described approximately $5,000,000 of requested adjustments linked to school-board revenues, virtual-student support and ESSER funds. The committee recommended scheduling a public hearing because the amendment exceeds the 1% threshold for budget changes.
The board approved scheduling the hearing by voice vote; no appropriation or final budget action was taken tonight. Staff said the June 18 hearing will be the next opportunity for public comment on specific amendments and figures presented in the committee packet.
Why it matters: The amendment, if adopted after public hearing, could alter county and school funding allocations and requires additional review and public input per state/local rules.
