Board approves amended 2024–25 school budget after governor's May 2 changes
Summary
The board approved amendments to the 2024–25 budget to reflect the governor and General Assembly changes, adding state funds for an employee bonus and additional Virginia Preschool Initiative funds, and adding a Debt Services reporting line at the auditor’s request.
The Wise County School Board voted to adopt an amended 2024–25 school budget during the May 12, 2025, public hearing. Director of Business and Finance Ron Vicars told the board the state budget was signed by the governor on May 2, 2025, and adjustments were needed to incorporate amendments from the governor and General Assembly.
Vicars noted the amendments add state revenue for an employee bonus approved previously by the board and additional Virginia Preschool Initiative (VPI) funding. He also said the amended budget adds a Debt Services budget line per the auditor’s request to align the district’s reporting with Wise County’s budget reporting; Vicars described that as a reporting change with no change in how funds are received or expended. The amended budget makes no changes to Capital Outlay.
Stephanie Kern moved to approve the 2024–25 Amended School Budget; Vicki Williams seconded and the minutes state the motion carried. The minutes record no public comments during the hearing and do not list a roll-call tally for this approval.
