Summary

Superintendent Dr. Fitzpatrick reported on capital and operations: approval to use capital funds for two band-storage buildings (~$120,000 each) at Gaveney and Blacksburg high schools, county cooperation to widen Softball Road, plus district fundraising that raised $3,800 for the Special Olympics Polar Plunge.

In the superintendent's report, Dr. Fitzpatrick told the board the district will use capital funds to pay for two band-storage buildings at Gaveney High and Blacksburg High at roughly $120,000 each.

He reported the county will work to widen Softball Road beside the middle school to improve access. Dr. Fitzpatrick also highlighted community fundraising: a Special Olympics Polar Plunge fundraiser that aimed for $1,000 but ultimately raised "$3,800."

The report included routine updates on hiring and student-services events (a mental-health parent night with about 15 attendees) and a finance overview indicating supply-and-services expenditures were on track.
