Superintendent asks board to approve FY24‑25 school budget amendment after 28‑student drop
Summary
Buckingham County Schools asked supervisors to approve a FY24‑25 amendment reflecting a fall ADM of 1,725, a loss of 28 students and a $168,207 reduction in state funding, plus federal grant adjustments and local reappropriations for textbooks and construction.
Dr. Keeler, superintendent of Buckingham County Schools, asked the Board of Supervisors to approve a FY24‑25 budget amendment that updates state funding to reflect the fall ADM of 1,725. "This amendment will update our state funding ... fall ADM of 1725 that was reported to the state. And this was a loss this represented a loss of 28 kids and a reduction of a $168,207 in state funding," he said, and noted adjustments to federal grants and carryover amounts.
The request also seeks local reappropriation of state funds remaining at the end of 2024 to be used in 2025 — including textbooks and funds for CTE greenhouse construction — and asks the board to release $390,000 the supervisors had reserved for the school system so the district can cover a 3% raise issued in July 2024. Board members asked clarifying questions before seconding and approving the motion to affirm the amendment.
