In January we welcome eight new members to the Regional School Board with new representatives from Charles City, Chesterfield, Dinwiddie, Goochland, Henrico, New Kent, Powhatan, and Prince George.

The board will elect RSB officers for 2024, approve its schedule of meetings, authorize multiple committee memberships, and will be asked to approve current operating financial statements. Two travel proposals are submitted this month requesting approval for student travel and study in 2024.

Amended policy is submitted as first read for Reg. 7003.1-Annual Budget Calendar and Guidelines requesting to move the calendar of budget approval activities forward one month each calendar year.

After its regular meeting business, the board will be presented with preliminary information by the school director, Dr. Robert Lowerre, related to the school’s FY25 operating budget during a scheduled budget work session.
