The Maggie L. Walker Governor’s School Executive Board meeting will be held on Thursday, May 21, 2026, at 9:00 am. Location: Room 153 (Adjunct Classroom). The Executive Board comprises members from Petersburg, Goochland, Powhatan, New Kent, and Richmond, plus Dr. Brian Nichols representing the Superintendent’s Steering Committee.
In May, the executive board will be presented with consent items that include the school’s monthly personnel and financial reports. They will be asked to approve social studies textbook adoptions and an amendment to the current fiscal budget based on additional monies to be received from the State supporting SoQ bonuses.
Several students will be recognized for their achievements, including senior All-Stars acknowledged by Sports Backers and the Richmond Times-Dispatch (RTD) and VHSL senior scholarship recipients. Notable honors include two students awarded a national community service accolade, the Walker Debate team, which won the Virginia High School League (VHSL) championship, and the We the People team, which was a national runner-up.
Under the review section of the agenda, the board will be asked to prepare for their approval of the FY2026 Assignment of Reserve Funds as required under GASB 54, which establishes fund balance classifications and provides a hierarchy of spending constraints. Final reserve fund balance projections will not be available until the board’s June meeting. Also, the board will be asked to review the renewal of the school’s business insurance coverages and will be advised under first-read of the MLWGS Foundation slate of officers for next year.
