005The eyes have it. Next up is section five, our 2025 2026 budget budget, excuse me, presentation. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Um, this time I'd like to call Mr. Ryder and myself and we will present the 2025 2026 school budget um presentation um as presented at the previous meeting. All right. Good evening, board chair, board, members of the community. This is the fiscal year 2026 budget that we have presented to the city and the county and to this board. Uh but to refresh everyone's memory, we wanted to go over it again tonight. uh the uh the governor has issued his budget request in January. Uh the house and the senate versions came out about a month later. There's the differences. There are differences between the the three branches of government of the state. And so we
006thought we'd illustrate those here. What we chose, what we've opted to do is to go with the governor's version because his figures usually come in pretty close to what they uh issue down in May when the budget becomes final. Uh so the projected revenue, this is the revenue screen. Uh the projected revenues for fiscal year 26, the state funding is just under $23 million. Um it's down slightly from the year before due to the construction funds being exhausted. The federal funding is projected to stay relatively stable along with school nutrition both at 1.8 million for each year. Uh the GCPS general funding uh we project a drop in donations largely bors head and so the local contribution uh from the city and the county we are asking for uh $10,898,000 up slightly from the year
007before. Now, what that revenue looks like graphically is uh 58% of our budget comes from the state and the combination of the light blue and the orange is the city and the county. You add those together, that's 27%, just about exactly half of what the state funds us. Then the other smaller portions, the federal food service and local funds. Now how that is spent um it's in the same format. Uh the top number there is the instruction um surely that is the largest by far some 80 some percent 85% I guess of the total budget. Um in administration is 1.8 million just slightly above uh the prior year. Uh the operating expense is the second largest item and you'll see the drop there because that's where the state construction funds have uh been eliminated. um
008technology fairly stable. Uh any of these minor increases are basically just due to the 3% wage increase we're projecting and then of course the debt service. So this is a balanced budget. Um the in there you oh 71%. Okay. So 71% of our uh total budget is instruction only. Uh and without and operations is 20% which supports the 71%. necessary. So, the funding requests for next year, what we're asking from the local government, the local county and city, uh are the increases that the uh state of Virginia will fund to us if they, you know, put in their part. We're also asking for them to fund the rent that we've already signed the lease for. So, they kind of have to do that. Um, but the good news is we don't have a health insurance
009increase for next year. uh it is a 0% renewal. Um something rare and has not happened for quite a while and I'd like to echo that part. Um this is the first time in I know three years that we have not had an increase in our insurance moving forward. So that is good news on the end when we talk to our employees that our health insurance will not be going up. So in governor's ynan budget, what he provides is a 3% salary increase for SOQ positions and that's for instructional and support positions that are under the standards of quality. When you look at the 3% increase, only SOQ positions would receive that funding. And so that is why it's essential when we go to the our board of supervisors and our city council um the
010maintenance of effort requirements for the additional funding to be able to provide the 3% increase across the board. When you look at where we are, we broke the chart down for fiscal year 2025. the city of Emporia with a ADM. ADM is average daily membership of 882 and for the 3% local match from the city of Emporia is $61,224. Our rent for the facility that we are located in moving from 105 Ruffin Street is $39,845 for a subtotal of $4,450,000. Now I spoke of the SOQ positions and those are standards of quality covered under the SOQ which simply means our licensed positions covered for instruction. However, we know we cannot operate as a school system if we don't include our bus drivers, our transportation, our car drivers, our maintenance staff, our school nutrition staff, and
011our mechanics. So, we would need additional funding in the amount of 16,000 to cover the increase of 3% for our non-SOQ positions, which will give us an appropriation of 4,466,000. And we're looking at an ADM for the city of Emporia. Once again, average daily membership for the next fiscal year coming up of 26 being 894 for a total increase from the city of $117,69. On the county side, we have an enrollment projection of where this year we have 140 students for 2025 Greensville County 6,240,850. The SOQ local match 107,487. The rent from the county which is based solely on the ADM as well 59,768 for a subtotal of 6,48,15 and an ask for the county of 24,000 to help fund our non-standards of quality positions to be found equitable across the board for a total
012appropriation for fiscal year 2026 of 6,432,15. looking at a projected ADM of 2017 from Greensville County for a total increase of 191,255. So our total ask from the Emporia city city council is an increase of 117,69 and from the county an increase of $191,255 which our gives us a grand total of our ask of 10,898,15 with a projected enrollment of 1,912 for the 252026 school year. Mr. Chairman and to the board, that concludes our presentation. And at this time, we would like to ask the board to recess and go into a public hearing. Any questions on the presentation? Um, I just have one question in reference to um federal That's not going to apply apply to us this year. All right. I know that President Trump a lot of people were asking was the federal
013funds going to be frozen. Oh yes sir, Mr. Pearson. So we have we receive a dear colleague letter on that and so what we're doing is we've been in consultation with the Virginia Department of Education. So right now funds are not on freeze. Had good conversation with federal programs. Dr. Robinson had good conversation with um our school nutrition director um Miss Marinia Garner who we do have enough um proceeds in the in the budget right now to be able to feed our students um for nine months. And so we are monitoring that daily um because it is some untrying times right now as it comes to anything related to the federal budget and Head Start. Many workers are being laid off, but that has not hit us here in Greensburg County at this time. Um,
014I know we had our joint board meeting back in March. Yes. So, when it comes to the proposed budget, um, have have we been uh awarded the aotment presented from the city and the county yet? U, Mr. Jesse? No, sir. Not at this time. It is my understanding there's a work session tomorrow for um Greensville County Board of Supervisors. That meeting is at 1:00 p.m. held in their chambers and I will consult with um Mr. Johnson on the city council's work session budget and I can put that out for everyone. Thank you. Thank you sir. Um next up is our section six which is a public hearing in regards to the 2025 2026 budget budget presentation. I'm going say that word right one time tonight. Uh in seeking a motion to go into that public
015hearing. So move. Second. It's been moved and properly second. Any discussion? All those in favor make it none by saying I. I. Opposed? Hear none. At this time we would like to go into a public hearing. Um anybody that would be here uh tonight is more than welcome to come to the podium. Um, you'll be allotted three minutes uh to discuss anything in reference to our budget presentation that was just presented. All right. Um, try not to have any more awkward silence. I think that allowed enough time for anybody to take your time to come to that podium. So, we'll say it one last time. If you would like to uh speak on that budget, you're more than welcome to. If not, we will move on and uh seek a motion to come out of
016our public hearing. So move. It's been moved and properly second. Any discussion? All those in favor make a note by saying I. I oppose. All right.

Yes, sir. Thank you, Dr. Edwards. There's a lot going on recently. Um, well, the first what I want to start with first, when you pull up the covered walkway um, presentation. There you go. Um, we have finished getting our plans drawn up for our covered walkway. Uh, the covered walkway will be put up in two different uh, stages. Stage one is the actual walkway. Um, and these are the plans for it. The walkway will start at
044the edge of the bus lane and it will go completely around to the edge of the band room and it'll be a complete walkway where students can walk that entire area without ever getting in, you know, in the rain. They'll do to when they get off the bus, the whole bus lane will be completely covered. There will be a secondary uh one over between the votech and the main building which will allow students to get from the votech to the main building again under a covered walkway. And again like I said the first phase is just the covered walkway. Uh second phase is where the security part comes in. We are once the covered walkway is up, we will then read through the plans to get a very tasteful uh barrier along that walkway that
045will then completely enclose this campus. For the years I have been here, I came here in 2006. One of the biggest discussions was the security issue of people being able to walk directly on this campus without anybody be able to say anything or see them unless we had somebody actually outside. Once we had these uh barriers, this campus will be completely enclosed. The only way you will get on this campus is to either come through a gate or a door. And this will not be of institutional looking. It will be something like you'd see at a bus stop or at a college campus. Um so it is going to be some something very tasteful but the security will then in this in this area will be a lot better. So uh and we wanting to
046put that out to bid and with the pleasure of the board uh we would like to put that out for bid uh using these uh plans. The architect drove drew these up and it is it'll be as built. Uh it states what type of metal they have to use, what type of post they have to use, what type of concrete they have to use. It states everything from the nuts and bolts down. So it's a very complete plan. Um and again with with the board's pleasure, I would like to put this out very soon for bid. The next thing would be uh going on to our first off any questions from the board I guess on that since that's a big just for clarity. So that would uh still have um adults and students the
047ability to walk out through those doors. Nobody would just be able to Yes. Yes sir. There there will be panic bars on all exit devices. So just like this door here, if you go out, you can get out. It's just you cannot come in from the outside without either. and they'll be putting the same type buzzers that are at the doors when you come in and you try to come in say by the botch coming from the street when you get to that barrier you won't be able to come on you'll have to buzz in from there to but once you're on campus the entire campus is a is a secured area um the what we usually do is we you have we have to because of the procedures of of uh procurement, we have
048to put it out uh with within what we did last time is within a certain mile radius radius and request but we can also send requests to local people if we want them to bid but it is it will be an open bid for anyone within say a 100 mile radius because and we do that because we don't want someone coming say from New York to build it and then when they leave we have no if something happens and we need warranty and we have no nothing to do to be able to get them back here to do that. It's a lot easier if we get somebody that's closer to home. Which leads me to my next question as far as how we make sure. We we the plans dictate exactly what they have to
049use and it's you know to this the thickness of metals to you know everything about it it's dictated on the plans u it's spells it out and they just have they have to go by that you know it shows the depth of the concrete how far the post have to be in how much concrete have to be around the post all of that is is in the plan and I I monitor I go daily to the to all the sites and monitor those. Just wanted to make sure because you know the walkway that we have over the elementary school as far as correct. Yeah, the elementary school has drugg on longer than expected. Um, we've had some issues like the very last part we have right now is there was some metal that they were
050short on and they had to order it and because it's a matching color, it's taken a while to get. So, we're kind of in a long waiting on that. Okay. Anything else? Fencing. We could go back to the other slide. Uh, Dr. Edwards mentioned, we put fencing around the elementary school and uh the bus garage. Uh the bus garage, we had several breakins because people were coming under and over and through and everywhere at the fencing at the bus garage and so we replaced that. This is the fencing at the elementary school. It's a decorative aluminum fencing. It goes from the cafeteria side of the building around all of the playgrounds all the way around and comes up beside the bus lane all the way the bottom left picture there is is the exit of
051the bus lane. So it covers the entire both sides and the back pretty much of the school and it's it's beautiful. If you get a chance go by pictures do not do it justice. Uh there are 10 different gates in it. So, we made sure that if students something happened and students had to egress quickly, there were basically escape routes through the fence to get out. Um, but like I said, it does keep any students from wandering off without having to go through a fence from the play areas. Um, okay. With that, the uh next couple things like this is the bus garage fence. We went from a six-foot fence that had barb wire around it. Sometimes, some places it did, some places it didn't. We now have an eight foot fence with three strands
052of barb wire around the entire facility. We do got to go back and do a little bit of touchup around the bottom because there's some opening open places at the bottom. I meet the guy tomorrow to go back and do some of that stuff. But besides that, that fits up. Also, we did put a new gate in on the railroad side. their gate has always been too narrow. A lot of times big trucks can't get in when they're delivering. Uh we widen that gate 8 feet so they should easily be able to get in and out of of the facility. Now u and just now and after that um first off any questions on the fencing those were the two main things. Uh the rest of my presentation just going to be to inform the
053board of some things going on. Uh we're very proud of the maintenance department and the things that are going on. There's a lot being done and a lot of people don't know how much is actually being done. Um, if you haven't been in the gym lately, we put 10 new interior doors on the gym. They're beautiful doors. The we had it was security issue. They weren't able to be locked. So, now you could secure the actual inside of the gym. Um, we got those doors in. If you've been to the school board recently, we put new window covering like you see on the high school and all the other schools. It's when you walk there, you know it's Greenville County Schools now. It's beautiful. Also, um elementary school when we got the new modulars, they
054came with a generic locking system. We changed the locks on those new modulars. So, now our master key for the division and the master key for the elementary school will unlock those doors. Uh security if they needed to get in quickly, had to go try to find a different key. Now, they don't have to do that. Um the elevator modernization, we're re we're modernizing all three elevators in the in all three schools. The elementary school they started on two weeks ago. It's about a three to four week process and then they'll be moving to Wyatt and then to the high school after that. We u so that's being done. Um we just put a new AC unit on the band room. Uh we should start it up tomorrow. It's a new big seven ton air
055conditioning unit put on. um intercom at Wyatt the high school and the middle school in high school and elementary school the new intercoms were put in last year. Now Wyatt is getting a new intercom that will make all three intercoms actually where they can talk to each other. So it's it'll if wanted to if we decided to put adoption in Dr. Ed which could actually from his phone in his office do an all call to the entire school system right from his office. Um the put a new ape on here on the short hall. Uh a new badge entrance at Wyatt. Those two are in. They just need some programming to finish those up. Uh tomorrow we start new fencing behind the vote. Uh we've always had an issue where we needed to work on
056the scoreboard or the lighting in the in that out the left field of the baseball field. We had to drive across the fields with heavy equipment to get there. Uh we're putting a new fencing from the press the ticket booth all the way around to the back side of the vote and we're taking the gate that we removed from the bus garage and installing it there so we can now drive in right to the schoolboard from the back of the vote. So that'll be a a great in advance for us for being able to get across without tearing the grounds up. Um new hallway doors at the in the gym. When we got the doors in the gym done, we noticed there were two fire doors on each side of the hallway that were having
057issues. So, they've been ordered and will be put in when they come in. Um, putting new cameras at the bus garage tomorrow. I've got three in my truck now. They're going to go up tomorrow. And at that point, you won't be able to walk go get into the bus garage grounds without being seen. The entire place will be covered. Uh we bought we purchased eight new AC units, AC and heat units for the uh math hall and the science hall that'll be installed this summer. Uh going to get started on them before then, but they'll be installed by the end of the summer. And we're doing those internally. Um big project at the bus garage. Bus garage has been complaining about not enough room to get buses in and to move move everything around. We're
058removing one of the walls inside the bus garage to make it three bays wide so they can now have the room to get in and work on the buses. And the last thing, we have purchased new access controls for the schoolboard office. We're just waiting for them to be installed. And like I said, a lot going on in maintenance. U anybody have any questions about any of the projects I just mentioned? Because it's a lot. No, I I don't have any questions just yet. if you could just kind of give us a list of those things that you're objecting to take care of so that we can follow those. Oh, most defin and to the board also these um improvements are done through construction funds. It's not the local budget. I just want to make
059make sure um when um for as they say transparency. This is not local dollars that are contributing to all the improvements that we're doing at Greensville County Public Schools. Right. We're using construction fund and security funds to do every one of these projects and we're doing a lot of things inhouse uh with our own employees to make it more cost effective. These are the funds that we'll use. Yes. And hopefully next year we'll get some more and be able to continue. It's the way we've been doing capital improvement pretty much for the last few years. Yes. Thank you, M. Thank you. All right. Next up is item E. Um our policy revision in regards to retirement payout. Um I will share some information on this. This again is one of our uh major topics when
060we do our work sessions. Um this will be the third month in which we have just started talking about or trying to finalize these policies um in regards to retirement, annual leave, donation leave um and and a few others. So, uh, we are continuing to monitor this, um, with hopes of finalizing it through this work session, um, in this month of April to be able to present accurately and, uh, appropriately to to everybody to be able to vote on. Um, we can go ahead and share with you that none of these policies of this magnitude uh, will take an immediate effect. We are going to go with a gradual process to where it'll make you aware or us as employees um aware of the changes that are coming in a timely manner to be able
061to to plan and prepare for. Um if there was anybody else that wanted to share on that, you're good. All right. Um which leads us to item F, which is our board member committee reports. And we just talked about the work sessions, but they're being shy, so I'm just going to celebrate with y'all. We were able to go to the CASPA um National School Board Conference. Um and that title said it all. It said it was education for all. Um so everything that that happened there made us really uh come back motivated even more to make sure we are pro uh providing very good education for all of our students um at Greensville County Public Schools. So refreshed, re-energized, and ready to continue the work for um some things that we learned from that uh
062that we will continue to share, you know, as they become a little bit more concrete uh plans instead of just ideas from pieces of paper. Uh anything else on that one? Good. All right, moving on to our action items. Uh first up is item A, the 2025 2026 school year calendar. Thank you, Mr. Mr. Chairman, um this time I'd like to present um for approval the 2025 202 school 2026 school calendar and I have Dr. Parkinson in case the board has any question.

And that's a half a day of professional development in each month. Um where we'd start

Administration is seeking approval for the memorandum of understand between Corpus K12 and Greensburg County um public schools. And um this time, Dr. Parkson, would you give the board a complete update on what the Corpus K12 umou entails? Good evening everyone. Good evening. Good evening. So through an
069opportunity that um Dr. Edwards allowed me to participate in which was Veilen. Um last year there was a company and it is um Corpus K12 that gave the opportunity for eight school divisions to work with them for free on a problem of practice. Well, I decided that our problem of practice would be support with our individualized student reading plans. You know that when the Virginia Literacy Act came out, any student who did not meet the Val's benchmark would have to have an individualized plan. those plans. The the document was developed by VDOE and that document is very time and labor intensive and the intent of the work with Corpus K12 was to find a electronic means of helping our teachers to develop the plans so they're not typing every single thing into each student's plan
070that the plans actually update when we update the Val's data in the system. So our and this is free. I forgot to start with that. It is free. This is free. Um so this system will actually generate individualized plans for students. Teachers will be able to go in and make adjustments and make tweaks. But the body, the major part of it, the strategies that they're going to use, there is a and there is a um what am I trying to say? a box of but I don't want to use that word. I'm trying to say a yes there is a drop down that allows them to select strategies that the coaches have helped us to develop. So these strategies did not come from the company. These strategies came from our reading specialists and our reading
071coaches and our coaches and Miss Coker have had an opportunity to walk through the actual document. They know what it looks like. They know the amount of time it will take to um to develop the plan which is very very minimal in terms of what they had to do this year to develop individualized plans for every single student. And we are working with them to try to create a platform where for example Yarley needs she has put in that she likes basketball and the the platform then generates activities related to basketball to try to to get students really excited about reading and the strategies that they need to read. So again it is a free platform. our coaches and our um director of ELA Elementary have vetted it. Um this has been going on probably
072a little over a year now. Um but we're excited and I hope you're excited that our teachers won't have to do as much leg work. So that's the genesis of the um of the relationship and the platform itself. So two things instantly. one. It sounds like we have some division ex divisionwide experts leading it with a little help from some AI. Yes. Ding ding ding. That's what we have. And then the uh the second thing is well I'll wait on the second thing. Okay. With any other comments seeking a motion move. Second. It's been moved and properly second. Any discussion? All those in favor make a note by saying I. I oppose. The eyes have it. The motion carries. Please celebrate this to staff. Okay. Yes. Absolutely. All right. Next up is item I, the
073contract for services, Allied Instructional Services. Yes, Mr. Chairman. Administration is seeking approval for our contract with Allied Instructional Services. And if there are any questions, I have Miss Rita Williams. And Miss W, would you come to the podium just to give the overview of allied instructional services once again? Oh, doc. Scott, I didn't see you were hiding behind there. I I'll I'll be brief. Good evening, um, board chair. Well, that's not real, Miss Williams. That's Dr. Scott. Okay. Excuse me, Dr. Ever. Board members. Um, allied instructional services contract that we have with um our support services for special for our special education department. We um we contract with them our school psychologist who does uh social culture assessments, our occupational therapist who services the uh two elementary um two occupational therapists for um two for
074the elementary, one for secondary. Um a speech therapist, uh visual impairment, hearing impairment and hearing interpreter. Um so allied instructional services provide those services for our students. Any questions? Do the rates change or any minimums on employees that have to be hired through this? Well, the rates are on the is there a minimum of employees for that or do they change rates based on how many people we use? They they they change rates on the minimum employees. Um I think our contract is going to be um yeah, the minimum employees and the number of students they serve. Serve. Yes. Anything else? All right. Seeking a motion. So move accept the approval of the conference. It's been moved and properly second. Any discussion? All those in favor make a known by saying I. I. Opposed. The
075eyes have it. The motion carries. Right. Next one. And item J, utility service easement. Yes, the utility services agreement is an agreement um trying to better internet service here in Greensburg County in Emporia. Um the easement request is a request to put a junction box um on the property of Zion um so that in the event that there are any breakdowns that that um box will be located and that the service agreement personnel will be able to fix. But it's a an agreement that we would um look at to partner with to improve internet service here in Greensville County and Emporia and administration rec recommends approval of the services agreement in the box location on the campus property of Zion. Seeking a motion. Make a motion service. Second motion. It's been moved and properly second.
076Any discussion? Hear none. All those in favor making a none by saying I oppose. The eyes have it. That motion carries. Last one. Item K is the memorandum of agreement with district 19. Yes, Mr. Chairman, and to the board. Um, this agreement is a five-year agreement um where we partner with um eight other school divisions where we provide uh adult education and to um students that are seeking a GED and it's taught on the at the education center um right behind where the um central office is located. And so we are look seeking approval for this memorandum of agreement. The cost of this agreement annually, Greensville County Schools portion of it and shared with Hope Wales, shared with Petersburg, shared with um Sururi, S shared with Sussex, shared with Prince George. Um so Emporia Greensville
077County's portion is $5,37 twice annually per year and us eight school divisions share the cost and they are looking to add a paraprofessional um to assist in the educational component to be able to deliver the services that they have. But this is a five-year agreement that is shared between eight school divisions and each school division has to sign separately and um administration is seeking approval to continue our partnership so that we can assist our students educationally. Seeking a motion Second. It's been moved and properly second. Any discussion? One question. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. It is. Thank you, Mr. P. Any more discussion? All those in favor make a note by saying I. I. Oppose. The eyes have it. The motion carries. All right. Next up is um section nine, our public comment section. This is
078where any citizen may address the board at any regular meeting. Persons wishing to appear before the school board should contact the superintendent or the schoolboard clerk. The chair is responsible for the orderly conduct of the meeting and shall rule on such matters as the appropriateness of the subject being presented and the length of time for such presentation. No one will be allowed to make personal attacks on any Greensville County Public Schools personnel when addressing the board. No one will be allowed to make additional presentations until everyone has an opportunity to make an initial presentation. The allotted period of time with the board during public comments is three minutes. Uh clerk, do we have anybody sign up? We do. Mr. Charles White. Okay. At this time, we would welcome Mr. Charles White. Good evening, Mr. Chairman,
079members of the board, Mr. Superintendent, members of the system. My name is Charles White. I'm back again. You know, uh, I'm a concerned parent. Usually, I take my walk down the sidewalk that's in front of the school, but I was under the weather for a couple of days. So, I decided to walk in the school parking lot, and I was shocked. The parking lot is falling apart. First off, you have grass growing up through the asphalt. So that makes that deteriorates your asphalt. And I don't mean in one place, I mean in many places. You also have where they cut the grass on the north side. They didn't even go back up under little trees. That's part of the school property, I assume. Your knee walls, your short walls that has this um decorative slab
080on top. A lot of the decorative slab, one or two have fallen off and broken. Some are out of line. trash in your water basin, your catch basin. Even after a few days after they cut the grass on the side of the construction, I walked over there and on the other side of the fence, now this may be the contractor, but he is putting he or she is putting trash, broken up concrete in the woods. They're contaminating the woods. on the backside. Someone has pushed up laps or tree limbs, leftover limbs off the tree up into the woods. Now, the county dump takes those. If they don't want to do that, they can start a march pile, but they do not need to contaminate it. And the thing that really got to me, it really
081got to me, they are using weed killer in places they should be weed whacking. And the thing that really got to me, he using weed killer in the playground where the young kids are. And I would like to invite you all to let's take a tour. Now, I'm not coming down on the elementary school because this is the second time I've spoken elementary school, but the elementary school is in such shape and it's the newest school, I can imagine what the other schools look like. I used to be president of uh PTA in Bronzer. And when I became president, I was shocked to find out the person on the board that was supposed to represent our school had not set foot in the school in four years. That's why I'm inviting you all. So, let's
082take a tour of the schools. If you're going to represent me here, I like to read this and you all think about this. This is a little story. This is a story about four people named everybody, somebody, anybody, and nobody. There was an important job to be done and everybody was sure that somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that because it was everybody's job. Everybody thought anybody could do it, but nobody realized that everybody wouldn't do it. It ended up that everybody blamed somebody when nobody did what anybody could have done. I hope you take it to heart. Yes, sir. And one more question. I would just like to know what's the ratio of PhDs to your students or or your students to PhDs,
083I'm sorry. And Mr. Mr. Superintendent, I thank you for the flag policy. Yes, sir. But I'm still waiting on the part about the bus that actually Yes, sir. I thank you for allowing me to speak. Yes, sir. You have a great comment. Thank you. Have a good evening. All right. Next section is 10 are announcements. Item A, we've already discussed, but it's worth mentioning again, um, that Greensville County High School is officially a certified AVID site. Yes. Oh, she was supposed to do the same little Yeah, you can't do it once. Thank you. All right. Uh it item B is uh our VSBA hot topic conference is going to be held this Thursday in Charlottesville um April 17, 2025 uh in which uh we will have um some people in person and hybrid. Um and
084then item C is our hybrid uh clerks clerk spring conference um which is also May 8th and is uh being facilitated out of Charlottesville, Virginia. any other announcements that Dr. Edward the board members would like to share? M just like to echo the wonderful students that were here this evening and being celebrated for their accomplishments. Um when you look across Greensburg County Public Schools and see students winning awards at at Wyatt Middle School out of 600 applicants nationwide. We that is a that is a tremendous feat. I want to especially thank administration and our teachers for working with our students because they're the ones that push these students forward to be able to achieve the goals that they are. So, it takes us all working together. Working together works and what we seen this evening
085is a shining example of what our students here in Greensville County Public Schools can do. So, I say thank you to all and let's continue to have a good sess um much success as we are in our last nine weeks and looking at our teachers. Um we've trained them all year. Let's see what they're going to do on these SOS. Thank you. All right. Uh next, we're seeking a motion to go back into uh close session to address personnel 2.2-3711A1. So move second. It's been moved and properly second. All those in favor make it known by saying I. Oppose. We now move to close session. I hope everybody has a greatest Easter. All right.
