Claims for payment: Finance staff presented a claim certification showing operating-fund expenditures of $365,989.98 and food-service fund expenditures of $34,533.34, for a total of $400,523.32. A board member moved to approve the claims and the motion was seconded and carried.

Purchase order for HVAC repair: The board considered a purchase order exceeding $10,000 for Hobbs & Associates for replacement of compressors at Luray Middle School, priced at $11,777.28.

Policy and curriculum actions: Miss Clark returned approximately 11 previously informational VSBA policy updates for action; the board approved the updates (one member asked to clarify an abstention). Miss Hamlin presented the revised Secondary Program of Studies (previously informational) including course deletions and edits; the board approved the program as presented.
