At its meeting the Mecklenburg County Public Schools board approved the fiscal year 2027 budget and multiple board actions, including personnel recommendations, discipline committee recommendations and capital improvement project allocations.
A motion to approve the FY2027 budget, moved by Mr. Allgood and seconded by Mr. Edwards, passed on roll call with all members present voting yes. The board also approved capital improvement project allocations after a motion from Mr. Edwards and a second from Mr. Clark.
The board voted on multiple personnel recommendation batches covering employments, resignations, retirements, transfers, supplements and adjustments; each batch was moved, seconded and approved by roll call.
On student-discipline matters the board considered and approved several recommendations from the discipline committee. The motion to expel student SD 20250263 for 365 days passed by roll call with eight yes votes and one abstention (Mrs. Cheney abstained). Subsequent discipline motions — including other expulsions and motions to admit students into the Phoenix Academy with hybrid schedules (eligibility noted as after 04/21/2026) — were moved, seconded and approved by roll call in sequence.
Staff also recommended continuing the Virginia School Boards Association policy-services agreement (effective 05/01/2026–04/30/2027). Board members discussed VSBA's liability clause, which limits damages to the fee, and noted the renewal fee was $2,500; the renewal was approved by roll call.
No board member requested further amendments to the budget on the floor. The clerk will transmit the approved budget and capital plan to the board of supervisors as required.
