The School Board will hold its regular monthly business meeting on Monday evening, beginning with a closed session at 5:30 p.m. to discuss personnel matters and consult with legal counsel.
The open session of the meeting includes a recognition of the monthly Student Leader in Action, a consent agenda with 10 items, and three action items.
Recognition
Hannah Lacy, a freshman at Spotsylvania High School, is the August Student Leaders in Action recipient. As an 8th grader, Hannah started her own business, Hannah’s Hot Vinyl and More, creating custom t-shirts, decals, cups, keychains, pens, and more—all while maintaining As and Bs in school. Hannah sells her creations at local craft shows and will have a table at the upcoming SCPS Student Market sponsored by the Massaponax High School Future Business Leaders of America on Saturday, October 5, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Massaponax High School.
Consent Agenda
Approval of minutes, donations, budget amendments, private road bus transportation applications, and change order to Spotsylvania Middle School renovation contract; renewal of group health insurance plan; approval of sole source contract for special education services; and reclassification of teaching positions to paraeducator positions “to support identified needs.”
Action Items
Approval of Kelly Guempel, deputy superintendent and chief of schools, to be the superintendent’s designee to attend meetings and sign documents in absence of the superintendent.
Approval (first read) of revisions to School Board policy DI and regulation DI-R (fiscal accounting and reporting). Revisions would add a grant fund and a textbook fund to the division’s existing authorized funds.
Approval of underground right-of-way easement for Rappahannock Electric Cooperative, for the purpose of installing underground conduit and conductor cable lines at Berkeley Elementary School.
