Um, so the review and approval of tonight's agenda. Um, are there any questions or comments? >> I move to approve the agenda. >> Second. All in favor? >> I. >> Okay. >> All right. Election of a chairman. This time is set aside on
002the agenda um to conduct the nomination process and subsequent voting for the position of chairman for the Clark County School Board pursuant to policy BCB. Um so I would open the floor for nominations at this time. I move to nominate Katie Khalbert for the position of chair of the school board. >> Second. >> All right, we have a nomination and a second. Um, at this point, we'll go ahead and vote. Um, be a roll call, right? >> Yes. >> I, >> Mr. Kennedy, >> I >> Mr. Wilson. >> I congratulations to Miss Kerr Hobert. And with that, my part of the uh election process is over. So, you can move over if you like one seat or you can uh stay where you're at. But uh uh we have this on the agenda if necessary.
003So, we'll move on to you conducting the election of vice chairman. >> Okay. So, the election of vice chair. Um do we have a a nomination for vice chair? I nominate Clay Warbeck for vice chair. >> Second. >> All in favor? Or wait, no, we have to do vote a roll call. >> We got to do a roll call. >> Yes, sir. >> Sorry. Mr. Brunach >> I. >> Mr. Kennedy. >> Iber. >> Mr. Wilson. >> I >> Congratulations, Mr. Burnback. >> Careful what you ask for. >> Okay. Tonight's approval of the consent agenda. Are there any questions or comments regarding the tonight's consent agenda? >> I move that we approve tonight's consent agenda as presented. >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I. >> Okay. To um the finance committee report. So on July
00421st, 2025 or for u Mr. Nucci will now provide a report from the finance committee meeting held on July 16th, 2025. >> Okay, good afternoon everyone. Um there's two reports we'll go out go over. One's the memorandum and one's the revenue packet. If we can just start on the revenue packet page one, u the memorandum will kind of touch on what's in uh the revenue packet. Sure. So this uh sheet that you're looking at is changes to the revenue budget. Um we saw this last month. So starting at the top, our fisc year 25 revised budget is 29.2 million. That's where we were at the beginning of the fiscal year. We had changes to local funding of $64,000 higher. A lot of that had to do with an increase in dual enrollment of 32,000 and
005also an increase for tuition for private services of 22,000. State funding is a little bit different. We're in the um we're planning to receive $327,000 less than what we started the fiscal year at. A lot of that has to do with changes to the funding headcount or ADM, which is average daily membership. The lower your ADM or average daily membership, the less funding you get from the state. So, we're about $216,000 negative there. Also, change in calc file. Uh our calc file is a file that the state uploads and they'll they'll upload how much funding they'll give you based on the local funding that you provide. And that's about $62,000 less uh than we anticipated. Changes to federal funding. There's title grants of $85,000 that will roll over to next year to fiscal year 26.
006When funding rolls over to the next year, you can't recognize it as revenue in the current year, which for this will be fiscical year 25. And then there's also a little bit of an insurance recovery adjustment of a little over $2,000. So, local, state, and federal added all together is 349 $350,000 less than when we anticipated in the beginning of the fiscal year. The next line item we'll go over is general fund transfer. Uh, and that's still on page one. This is something that you can highlight. You can kind of star. This is kind of the main takeaway of page one. We're in a position where we can transfer $723,000 back to the county, back to their general fund. Usually what happens when we're in a situation where we have a surplus like this, we
007ask to repurpose it to our capital fund. There's a process that has to happen with that. We have to have a detail of what we plan to spend it on and it has to get board of supervisor approval. But um I think that number really presents a good case for the budget. You know, it says that we're under budget. We're not over budget. We're not asking the county for more money. We're actually in a position where we can give funding back. Even with the adjustments to the state, you know, we're still under budget. we can give funding back to the county and I think it says that we're not just thoughtlessly spending money if we were that 723 could be a 600,000 it could be a 500,000 a 200,000 so I think all in all
008that's a budget that everyone in the room could be happy with where it's landing right now so add local state and federal plus the general fund transfer that may change uh a little bit our estimated revenue is 28.1 million which you see at the bottom of the page as opposed to the 29.2 too. Any questions on that? Okay, hearing none. Uh the next couple pages was will just go into more detail of the funds. Page two and page three will go into more detail of the operating fund. So in the middle of page three at the bottom of the chart, you'll see 29.2 for revised budget. We received 24.1 million. So we received 82% of our operating fund budget. Jumping over to page four, that's the school food service. So, nothing really changed from last
009month. Our revised budget is 1.5 million. Our year-to- date actual is about 854,000. A question you might have is why is there such a big gap there? This late or closing of the fiscal year. And that's because the excess fund the excess fund balance right above the total. uh we have revenue of 447,000 but we haven't received any new additional revenue for that capital fund on page five pretty much the same thing as last month revised budget 1.9 million year-to- date actual 1.4 4 million and we have about a little less than 500,000 left left in available budget. Debt fund on page six usually quiet but this is a page that you can kind of star uh make note of because you'll be seeing it a little bit a little bit later today. So that
010second line item school debt bib interest subsidy which is build America bond interest sub interest subsidy we planned or budgeted for 68.9,000 so 69,000 however we only received 65,000 year to date so there's a remaining balance of $3,768. The reason why that isn't matched or that isn't balanced right now is because it was a calculation error on our end. So we're only receiving the $65,000 and nothing more. So, in order to balance the budget, what we need to do is we need to transfer funding in from another fund to make that line item whole. And the reason why we're bringing that up to you is because if it was a transfer fund within fund, debt fund within debt fund, capital fund within capital fund, we wouldn't have to bring that to your attention. But since
011we're pulling it from a different fund, in this case, operating, we have to bring it to your attention. It's something you have to vote on. We can't just transfer operating fund to debt fund and let not let you guys know about it. So, that's something that's going to be brought up in new business, something that you guys will vote on. So, it's just uh a transfer of $3,768 from the operating fund to make that line item whole. Any questions on that? Okay, jumping back over to the memorandum. Uh we've talked about everything on section one in the memorandum. So, then we'll jump down to section two, which is the supplemental appropriations request. two. Number two, a transfer request of $3,768 from the school operating fund to the school debt fund to cover a shortfall in
012revenue. We just went over. Number two, number one is a request of $1,419.96 for a LG 55 inch class UT75 series LED smart TV and Vivo ultra he ultraheavyduty mobile cart stand that will support the anatomog table at the high school. What is an anatomog table? It's a 3D visualization and virtual dissection tool for anatomy education. So basically picture a pool table. Instead of green felt, you have a flat screen TV and then you can kind of hover over it and see 3D depictions of the human body. So why we're bringing in that to your attention is uh we received funding from Claude Moore Charitable Foundation. They gave money to Laurel Ridge Community College and they're giving money to us in the in $1,419. And for us to be able to receive that and spend
013that on a TV, a 55 inch TV and a mobile set that will go with the anatom table is something that you guys need to vote on. So that'll be brought up in new business with the appropriate language for you guys to vote on. And that's for a TV and a mobile card set to support the anatom table at the high school. Any questions on any of the supplemental appropriation requests? >> Okay, hearing none. That's all I got. >> Well, um I would just like to thank Mitch Mr. Nucci. He's doing a wonderful job. And one thing that I've been highly impressed with is um over and all I've started um Nancy and his office had started a list of acronyms and I had one from a strategic plan and one of our goals is
014to put that together, but in education we use a lot of acronyms and a lot of specific speak and we oftentimes don't think about it, but Mr. Nucci coming from the federal government has really picked up on the Virginia education terms almost instantly. So I'm really um impressed with his level of work and the budget this year. I'm really also happy with where we finished at being really good stewards of money and been able to finish the year strong despite less funding from the state. And the reason we have less funding is and we knew this from the very beginning of the year once you know about 10 days in our enrollment was less than projected. So when you look at that loss of revenue the bulk of it comes back from having less kids.
015So have considering that and still finishing the year strong both in capital and operating is highly impressive. So >> thank you >> Dr. Bolan. >> Yes. >> Yeah. A question. How do how are we going to be for uh student enrollment for the coming year? >> Well, we estimated it on a much more conservative basis. Um not that it and it's not much different than before. It had been a formula that had worked, but what we did was we hadn't in the past really considered are some kids maybe graduating earlier or something between junior and senior year. So, we went back and looked at that as a long-term and factored that in. And also, instead of going on a three-year kindergarten enrollment average, we went on a five. It's still always just a projection, but
016the um the uh there's a group at the University of Virginia that's a department that does population studies and they do a um estimate of school enrollment. Their estimate for us is a lot quite a bit higher than what I put in and also the demographer there thinks it's going to be a little bit higher as does BDOE. I put it in at 1850 which is more conservative. But until we go day 10 and kind of get an average of the first 10 days, you're always kind of on pins and needles. And I will say we have a really good and strong budget, but um salary savings is a big part being where you hire people in versus to where the people exited out. And last year we had a lot more buffer room. We
017were hiring a lot more people with no to little experience. We saved us a lot of money. This year it's not been quite as much. We do have savings, but it's not as substantial. So we'll be certainly watching as the first 10 days, you know, take place next year. >> So after 10 days, we can get a firmer idea of just where we stand. >> Yeah. You do a daily enrollment, which is not like absenteeism. If anybody shows up any of the 10 days, they keep counting and you do a 10day ADM enrollment projection. It gives you a pretty good idea, but all the money is distributed based on the end of March ADM. So, you kind of got to keep watching to March to see where you're at there because that's where the funding's
018based on. >> Thank you. >> You're welcome. >> Thank you, Mr. Nucci. >> Okay, superintendent update. >> I don't have much this evening uh being that we're in the summer, mainly getting ready for next school year, but we are looking forward to the start of a productive school year. Our new teachers will report with us on August the 6th with returning faculty reporting on August the 11th. Convocation is going to be on August the 12th in the auditorium the high school. We'll start at 8 am um with an inspirational um I'll do the introduction some pieces and we'll have an inspirational keynote by Miss Kim Bearding at 8:30 a.m. Miss Bearding is the co-founder and a language arts teacher at the Ron Clark Academy in Atlanta, Georgia. She's a nationally recognized teacher. Her keynote aligns
019with our 24-25 divisionwide book study of her book, Crash Course, The Life Lessons My Students Taught Me. Her kind spirit will be an excellent start to a student focused school year. Of everyone that I've heard speak, she's by far my favorite speaker. So, I'd like to invite you all if you can make it around 8:30 on the 12th. I think you'll find it to be a good use of a morning. She always does a good message. And also in what was an outstanding year athletically for Clark, we just recently found out that we finished as the BHSL class 2 runner up for the National Guard Cup. This is an extremely difficult award to win or even place in. Reflecting on these type of awards, we're extremely lucky to have our coaches and kids. So that's
020all I have for this evening. >> Thank you. Does anyone have any questions or comments? Okay. Audience comments. Do we have any audience comments? >> Anybody like to speak? Okay. Um Okay. Consideration of appointment of joint administrative services board member. Um, so do we have a nomination for um the JAS committee position? >> I move that the Clark County School Board to appoint Katie Kerhart to the point Joint Administrative Services Board for the remainder of 2025. >> A second. >> All in favor? >> I Um okay, consideration of appointment of budget and finance committee. So because um it's requested at this time that the school board consider the appointment of two of its members to the budget >> just one >> or one one member um to the budget and finance committee for calendar year
0212025. Um, as per past practice, these two appointments have traditionally been the chairman and vice chairman of the school board. Policy BCE is silent, however, on which two members of the board might serve on the budget and finance committee. So, is there a nomination for the finance committee? I move that the clar county school board appoint Clay Brunach and Steve Nucci to the budget and finance committee for the calendar year to 2025. >> Okay. Is there a second? >> Before you all go member uh >> Oh yeah, we do have to do Steve. I was going to say you're already a member Katie as a um board member. >> Okay. >> Oh yeah, but we need to recognize Steve too. Sorry I missed. >> Okay. Um and is there a second? Mr. Wilson. Okay. And
022all in favor? >> I >> Okay. Um, consideration of appointment to the policy committee. It's requested at this time that the school board considers the appointment of a member of a second member to the policy committee for calendar year 2025. Is there a nomination for policy committee? Yeah, I probably should. >> I move that the Clark County School Board appoint Casey Kennedy to the policy committee for the calendar year 2025. >> Second. >> Okay. All in favor? >> I um consideration of appointment to the strategic planning committee. It's requested that the school board considers the appointment of a member of its of the board to the strategic planning committee for the calendar year 2025. Although the initial work of the committee has been completed, it is anticipated that additional meetings will occur in the future
023as the school division's strategic plan is amended and or revised. So, is there a nomination? >> I have a I just have a question on that. >> Can we table the nomination and the vote until we have a new member? >> Yes, any of these uh can be acted on tonight or could be tabled. The uh main reason we brought them back up for tonight is we need a chairman and then the JAS met before we came back. But any of this can be tabled until we get a new member. >> Okay. >> Can we do that in one nomination or one >> One motion. >> I think that um you could probably do a motion just say pursuant to 8.01 8.02 8.06 8.07 8.08 8 to table all those nominations till the next meeting
024if you wanted to do so. >> Well, we just have the only ones left, right, are the gifted and the >> but there are new um >> and >> new community members. >> Well, we could do it maybe one by one and table the board member part. >> Okay. Okay. So, let's >> the the one about if we go Yeah. through that then we probably if you all would like you would just make a motion to table the strategic planning committee nominee because that is just a board member. >> Okay. >> I move to table the uh nomination for the strategic planning. >> Okay. >> Second. >> Okay. All in favor? >> I >> Okay. Um so consideration of the gifted advisory committee schoolboard policy BCF requires the school board to appoint advisory councils or
025me committees of citizens of the school division for consultation with reference to specific matters pertaining to local schools. Although the gifted committee is not con not not required in policy or by the code of Virginia, staff recommends the appointment of a committee to provide recommendation about the education of gifted learners. Per their bylaws, the committee shall serve without compensation for a two-year term. Division staff are required to serve based on their position in relation to the purpose of each committee. Per its bylaws, the gifted advisory committee is to have not more than 15 voting members. Their term will expire June 30th, 2027. So, the returning members are Dr. Jessica Nail, staff, Shelley Daisley, staff. Um, what I'm getting ready to say are all staff members. Molly Tinsman, Sally Spencer, Patrick White. Um, Britney Irish, term
026ends June 30th, 2026. Megan Pervvis, her term ends June 30th, 2026. New members are Laura Cullen Cullain reappoint her term will end June 30th 2027. Moren Hardman her term ends June 30th 2027. I'm going to go through the rest. Nancy Wars Go Wars Golola sorry Elizabeth Alvido and Terraot. All of their terms will end June 30th 2027. So, um, is there a motion to approve the members that I just listed? >> And I guess the way you would do that is just put I move to appoint the new and returning members of the gifted advisory committee as presented for the 2526 school year. You would just leave out that part blank as the school board liaison, right? >> Until we uh return and then we do a separate motion to table that. >> Okay. I
027move to approve the the new and returning members of the gifted advis advisory committee as presented for the 2025 26 school year. >> Is there a second? >> Second. >> Okay. All in favor? >> I >> um >> do we need to make a motion to >> Yeah, I make a motion to table >> um the appointment of the school board liaison for the gifted advisory committee until such a new member is present. Okay. >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I. >> All right. Um, consideration of career and technical education advisory committee. The school board policy requires the school board to appoint advisory councils or committee of citizens. Um, exactly what I said the last time. I'm going to just go through the returning members. So, the staff are Dr. Nail, Dana Wearing, um,
028Thomas Fulmer. His term ends June 30th, 2026. Carmen Westbrook term ends June 30th, 2026. The new members are going to be Robert Wagner of Howard Shocki, Carmen Westbrook, a parent, Dr. Sherry Ma, um Laurel Ridge Community College, Carrie Dejarden, and Leslie Kerr. And all of those appointments will end June 30th, 2027. So, is there a motion to approve um these returning members and new members? >> Move to uh approve the returning members. >> Okay. >> And the new members. Okay. And is there a second? >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I. >> Okay. Um the consideration of special education advisory board. Um so again the schoolboard policy BCF requires us to appoint advisory councils for for the um special education advisory council. The returning members are going to be um Frank Moore Gatlin Gznell
029Sam Pigot and the new members would be Jonie Wood, Jeff Pinkerets and Cara Vanderberg. And then um we will put on hold the school it's recommended to put on hold the school board liaison until we have a new member. So is there a motion to approve the members of the special education advisory committee? >> I move to approve the slate of members for the special education advisory committee as presented for the 2526 school year. >> Okay. Is there a second? >> Second. >> All in favor? I >> I >> All right. um consideration of school health advisory committee. So again per the policy BCF we're looking at the returning members Frank Moore Renee Weir Gabriel Gabrielle Whan Tate Simmons Tessa Brody Wine Ray Gunner Kristen Kelper and then new members would be Bruce Rio and
030Gina Nickerbacher. Both of those terms would end June 30th, 2027 and then we would need um a new school board liaison and so we would table that until we have a new board member. Um so is there a motion to approve the new board members for the school health advisory committee? >> Yeah. Question on that. Dr. Bowling, are you happy with the new members coming in? >> Yes. >> Okay. Thank you. I move that we accept the uh returning members as presented. >> Okay. And is there a second? >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I. >> Okay. Consideration of policies and regulations for first and second reading. Um so the policy committee met on July 11th, 2025 and reviewed the recommended updates from VSBA and there's a number of um recommended updates from VSA
031VSBA. Um we're recommending approval for first and second reading. Um you can see that there's a number of policies that you see listed. There are some basic changes um in those policies because the VSBA has a new board attorney and they changed the language to suit their um writing style. So like there's, you know, some colons removed or periods added um just basic um word changes. So, is there a motion to approve um these policies and regulations as presented for first and second reading? >> Before we do, I thought I may point out one if it's all right, Miss Hobert. Um most of those are more semantics, but now there are a few that add a few things in, but our staff is on top of everything related to it. this does move forward and
032allow the policy committee to be more productive because this was one of the larger um listings of policies for updates that I've ever seen. So, we got to the point that we were nearly 40ome policies in. We'll still have about five or six to work on after this, but we feel confident in moving all these forward, but probably the one up there that's of the most substantial change, and I know it was a topic of interest for the board as well that we bring it back, but actually kind of the debate ended, which is the student cell phone piece because a recent House bill advanced to the Senate and was signed by the governor. So, it's now in Virginia code or Virginia law that all Virginia public schools are bail uh cell phone free zones
033prek12 in Virginia. So now that it's actually in Virginia code, BSBA did a policy stating that and basically the policy just says PK-12 is belt to bail cell phone free for students and that um districts will consider how to regulate cell phone use for staff and that um IEP teams and 504 teams can make adjustments if needed, but there's really no guidance on any consequences or anything of that nature. nature. So, what we recommend doing is just adopting the BSBA policy as written, but we changed our existing cell phone policy to a regulation because our policy tells the consequences for each type of infraction and will help our administrators and to make our existing policy align with the VSBA policy and the new law. All we had to do at the high school level was
034remove the phrase during instructional time and change it to bail to bail because that was the only thing that we had debated prior. So that that policy and aligning regulation will bring us into alignment with the new bill uh new bill by day one. But that's probably the most substantial policy in that list. >> Thank you. >> Do we have to vote on that or no? >> It's all part of it. Mhm. Are there any other comments or questions? >> I move to approve the policies and regulations as presented for first and second reading. >> Is there a second? Okay. Thank you. All in favor? Hi. >> Hi. Um, I should have said this before when I gave the chance to give a comment um or question, but prior to the start of the school
035year, could we let parents and families have a heads up that that it has changed from what we were doing in the spring? >> Yes, we certainly will. >> Thank you. >> You don't think they're all tuned in? >> Probably not, but >> this is an exciting night. This is an exciting meeting. sitting on the edge of their seats right now. What are you talking about? >> No, I am. Um, okay. Consideration of FY26 supplemental appro appropriation. So, it's requested that the board approve the supplemental appropriation of $1,419.96 from the Claude Moore Charitable Foundation to be used at CCHS to purchase a TV and a stand to be used with the anatomage table. Is there a motion um for this supplemental appropriation? I move that the FY26 school operating fund budgeted expenditure and appropriation be
036increased $1,419.96 and that revenue budget and appropriation be increased by the same amount for the purpose of receiving funds from the Claude Moore Charitable Foundation to be used to purchase a LG smart TV and Vivo Ultraheavyduty mobile cart stand. >> Okay. Is there a second? >> Second. All in favor? >> I. >> All right. Consideration. Um, it's requested that the school board approve a supplemental appropriation of $3,000768. 3,768 from the school operating fund to the FY26 school debt fund to cover the reduction in debt fund revenue. Is there a motion um for this recommendation? I move that the FY26 school operating fund budgeted expenditure and appropriation be decreased $3,768 and that the FY26 school debt fund budgeted revenue and approp appropriation be increased by the same amount for the purpose of transferring funds to cover
037the school debt VAB interest subsidy line item. >> Thank you. Is there a second? >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I. >> Okay. consideration of a reflection garden at CCHS. Um, so Miss Nina Pierce is asking for approval to establish a reflection garden at Clark County High School in memory of her daughter, Hayden Smallwood, and another former student, Madison Mallerie. Miss Pierce has met with CCHS administrators and Randy Trinary, to plan the location of this garden. and the parties have agreed to place this garden in front of the high school along the area where students are dropped off and picked up. This reflection garden will have a bench and a flower box that Miss Pierce has agreed to maintain. A picture is provided for you to see the plan. And it's beautiful. Um, so
038do we have a motion to approve the addition of this reflection garden or any questions or concerns? >> Questions? Yes. What is actually going to be entailed in this? Uh, who is going to be is this something the students are going to do or the people who want to have it are going to do? And who's paying for >> anything any costs entail? >> Um, I can answer that. it the people who are asking to do it would do it and they would pay for it and have to maintain it >> when you do a memory thing. So it would be the family of the deceased student that would uh pay for the materials and do the work and the maintenance. >> And Miss Nina Pierce is here tonight if if you want to answer
039any questions. >> Yes, I'm mother and Madison both attended Clark County High School from up Hayden was graduation to the county or the school. We're fully prepared to maintain and upkeep and keep this for the students. Remember their last Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Are there any questions or comments? Yeah, >> I make an offer here. >> I will provide a handforged and fabricated uh bench if I can get some shop help from the high school student body from the Ptech students for this at no charge. >> That would be amazing. Thank you. >> Thank you, Mr. Wilson. Thank you. >> Yes. Thank you, M. >> Thank you. >> Just before before we bring this up and vote on that, it's something maybe that >> we should keep in the back of our head
040uh back somewhere that we could think about >> locations on school property or something that for other families that may want to do that. And we could have a >> I don't know, a little bit more >> extensive. Uh yes, an area that's prepared. >> Mhm. >> Maybe just unfortunately our school has seen it its fair share of things and um >> anyway just something that I think we ought to think about. Maybe we can with our new facilities >> guy and just just keep in the back of an area maybe we can >> just >> be aware of when other projects or other things come down the line we might be thinking about them. That's all I wanted to say. Yeah, I think that's a great idea. And to kind of go along with
041that too, I'm sure that there are clubs that that could also, you know, use this as a opportunity for community service projects and that kind of thing. So, yeah. Thank you. Okay. So, are we ready to vote on it? Is there a motion? >> Do we need to make any amendments? >> I think everything's good. I would just put make a motion recommending approval as presented. >> Yeah. >> Okay. I move to approve uh the addition of a reflection garden at Clark County High School uh as presented. >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I. >> Thank you, Miss Pierce. >> Um okay, schoolboard member comments. So, time is set aside on the agenda for schoolboard member comments to share thoughts and concerns or to report on events. So, Mr. Frock, >> I would just
042echo Dr. Bowling's comments on our wonderful addition to the finance uh uh team. I think that's wonderful, wonderful uh presentation and I understood clear. Not that I didn't before, but anyway, thank you for jumping in. So, well, >> that's all I have. >> Thank you, Mr. Wilson. >> Yeah. Uh Mr. Pal, could we anticipate that you are going to have something about the the state phone regulations and that they will be enforced here? Yeah. >> No matter how you do it, somebody's going to show up with a couple of kids going to show up with them. But the more more we can get out there, the better off I think we'll be. Okay. Thank you. And I guess all the physical plant is ready to go. >> I think so. We're getting there. >> Okay.
