Staff read Resolution 2026‑01 into the record. The resolution requests $878,126 in additional state operating funds and $147,330 in additional federal funds for FY2026; staff said the state increase is expected to come through basic school aid, compensation supplements, at‑risk funds and community school funds, and the federal increase through Title I and school improvement grants. The resolution also requests that $225,000 previously allocated for facility studies be reallocated to the FY2026 budget and that $398,187 in prior-year all‑in initiative funds be reallocated to support purchase of additional school buses. The paper packet provided to board members included revised appropriation request amounts and revised FY2026 budget totals.
Why it matters: if the Board of Supervisors approves the appropriation requests, the district’s FY2026 operating budget will increase by the requested state and federal amounts and by the specified reallocated local dollars; staff said the funding would support required instructional positions, intervention programs and additional buses.
Action: the board moved and approved the resolution during the meeting; staff said the request does not change local appropriations other than the reallocation of previously appropriated local facility and carryover funds as described in the resolution.
What to watch: the request will go to the Page County Board of Supervisors for formal action on appropriations; the board’s decision there will determine whether the district receives the additional funds and reallocations described in the resolution.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","PCPS School Board Meeting July 24, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Page County School Board voted to request that county supervisors appropriate $878,126 in additional state funds and $147,330 in additional federal funds to the district’s FY2026 budget and to reallocate $623,187 in previously appropriated local funds, primarily to support instructional positions and additional buses.","taxTitle","PAGE CO PBLC SCHS, School Districts, Virginia","taxId",54435,"location","Virginia","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6014025,"Page County reports hiring gains, bus orders and substitute outreach ahead of August start",0,1202000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5793350-60bc575e6ffff36ac2b523570ee25386&start=1202&end=1202","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5793350-60bc575e6ffff36ac2b523570ee25386/thumbnail_1202000.jpg","/articles/6014025/Virginia/Page-County-reports-hiring-gains-bus-orders-and-substitute-outreach-ahead-of-August-start","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6014025-fff90f9acf4a83e406649d422a7ec14e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771145967&Signature=gsy9Hjemk6O7d65kMgmv6j1mQoLvFNRGdpzhSlHMXrW~AhDuRp9lRWdRB7ZYKfKCV4fHrgRwubQ6EkXqQd2sJYSWnPPj17gSfdgV2AazfZzj6VXiLDkf1sQP9ac3QN2SjE29lA4ySqWRClpkL85eQneJilLyQTKKR4RiKFjVsZUdqa84BKNPp9bWWZ6ra51tecksbhUn7wgl7HyVwt7oy1DdM3v0fyj~du1H3yZ7XREex8EqHTk6S2dislS1wCLIsJL39aeiYdxW~rsEWc0LpHgLvpRyY-m1xXdyBYYM3OYPRgrK0P5G2LHRWfGWu-dKfIz~WDx9iiPtVcv1QXDNug__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Page County Public Schools told the board Thursday it has hired 31 new teachers for the 2025–26 year and invited about 130 substitute candidates to a July in‑service, staff said. Doctor Johnson, director of human resources and business operations, also reported progress on bus orders and a planned vehicle-rotation program with Enterprise Fleet.
Doctor Johnson said 31 new teachers will attend two days of new teacher orientation in August and that four vacancies remain (two elementary special-education, one middle-school English and one middle-school science). He told the board the division sent 130 invitations for a substitute in‑service on July 28, a number the district said was comparable to pre‑COVID substitute levels.
Transportation and fleet: staff said two new 71‑passenger buses are on order and expected at the division in December or January and that an additional bus is expected in spring 2026. Doctor Johnson said the district is committed to 71‑passenger buses because larger models do not fit bay lengths in the bus garage. He said the division is coordinating with Enterprise Fleet on a planned rotation of about 10 vehicles for daily student-use cars and vans and would meet soon to finalize details.
Health and safety staffing: staff said they have weekly meetings to align building safety, crisis response, Title IX and law-enforcement coordination; principals completed DCJS safety checklists and required Virginia Department of Education school-safety audits this summer. Doctor Johnson said the division will bring a revised division crisis manual to the board in early August.
Board action: the board approved a recommended panel of physicians for work‑related injury care so employees know where to seek treatment consistent with workers’ compensation rules. The list includes virtual, in‑county and regional options; staff said the list will be shared with employees as part of back-to-school training.
Next steps: staff said they will continue recruitment for remaining vacancies, finalize Enterprise Fleet arrangements and bring the crisis manual and implementation details of safety staffing to the August meeting.","District staff reported 31 new teachers, 130 substitute invitations, two new school buses expected December–January and a larger bus expected spring 2026; the board approved the panel of physicians list and discussed Enterprise Fleet vehicle rotation.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6014029,"Page County Board adopts new student handbook, updates discipline and anonymous reporting",522,2050000,2572000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5793350-60bc575e6ffff36ac2b523570ee25386&start=2050&end=2572","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5793350-60bc575e6ffff36ac2b523570ee25386/thumbnail_2050000.jpg","/articles/6014029/Virginia/Page-County-Board-adopts-new-student-handbook-updates-discipline-and-anonymous-reporting","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6014029-125aaf1862f802536a46be4558c30abf/orig.mp4?Expires=1771145967&Signature=ToxX072ZYyy8ZtSYljq~QwvEMwwxPECR9jbvxLkgaG5cfrNSJVKvsMFIEEP8ReIlFhHiFMEbEn7VnNykcRgQv5hpuhx79biY0FeRNT3LOgWs9N98iXSLa7bXYZ~zXKh7mSxxw1F7J-DyMpGzXP3XKIheMvkCVh7lOkGqn7OMh7fuPB1Uxrqyf~VGEtXvgFFfF8ZaNuL-jpDT0Ttqa-CyZjsop1Wttm7QmEKqiwDT7Yu9cScJ27xsukDulIbXL8Uh5DnMItLtSorzaxhGfUgTQy5lJRlvV45GYt6WHimMvbSZMZ8dPoDBH77t6~48FjqeEzu8bj9jE0zJRcWgA69W7w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Page County School Board voted Thursday to adopt an updated student handbook and code of conduct for the 2025–26 school year that reorganizes information for families, replaces the Stop It app with an anonymous online reporting form, and formalizes post-suspension reentry meetings, staff said.
Miss Clark, a staff member who presented the handbook, told the board the document is reorganized into topical sections (general information, student learning, safety and supports, family engagement and conduct) to make it easier for families to find required notifications, calendar and contact information. The handbook will be distributed to families before school starts; principals will review sections with students and the division will provide printed copies on request.
Why it matters: the handbook sets expectations for discipline, safety and family communication across the district and ties new procedures — such as the anonymous reporting tool and reentry meetings after out-of-school suspension — to board policy and school practice.
Most important details: the district removed the Stop It app and replaced it with an anonymous reporting form accessible from the handbook and the division website; the form does not collect identifying information and staff said they are working to route reports to schools. The handbook adds a requirement for a reentry meeting when students return from out-of-school suspension; that meeting will include an administrator, a school counselor and parents to coordinate supports. The discipline sections were revised to include leveled responses and instructional strategies designed to support student success.
Other changes and supports: the handbook links to the program of studies for graduation requirements, adds a section on academic integrity (including AI expectations), and incorporates Project E (enrolled, enlisted, employed) in counseling resources. The document also notes that parents may request printed copies because of limited local broadband access; the district will provide in‑building sessions in early August to help families complete forms in PowerSchool.
Board action: the board made a motion to approve the handbook and code of conduct; the motion carried and staff will distribute the materials and bring final logistics for family notifications at the next meeting.
Closing: staff and several board members praised the presentation and the clarity of the new layout. The handbook will be implemented for the coming school year and handled as a living document, staff said.","The Page County School Board approved a revised 2025–26 student handbook and code of conduct that reorganizes content, adds an anonymous reporting form to replace the Stop It app, clarifies reentry meetings after suspension, and links counseling and academic resources; the board voted to approve the handbook for distribution to families.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6014034,"Page County schools hire RMM Architects for facilities master plan; walkthroughs, demographic study to start",442,503000,945000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5793350-60bc575e6ffff36ac2b523570ee25386&start=503&end=945","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5793350-60bc575e6ffff36ac2b523570ee25386/thumbnail_503000.jpg","/articles/6014034/Virginia/Page-County-schools-hire-RMM-Architects-for-facilities-master-plan-walkthroughs-demographic-study-to-start","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6014034-61ed94b7d152812fd046a4116c07d449/orig.mp4?Expires=1771145967&Signature=g6ias9r8pxem-cDi1ONyJ-2h-GVbVK6zy4U2aFa96F8ZHHQU33i9cGKVgb~TtVpaBglVP6ohmaXn~SyxGAaxVqxK6BG~rQzCFnMxfE3fz8XHhjIEiTANPZB--NHDNvTM5Eyf0EHVJJtnw8lQYfz0gkOrevJpKwlzPoIQjn29BUChrZWhdVY3EVYSr3ZKjFwO1e8KESIpCoy2HRhkLeTsk54zW7ZMnijiboSVg9Yjum5WMOr8r7SwKfnveBWkrrtkozxN-2duooP2NK14BGpy7KE7c6rmkhn2z8AnaJ97KibK97ZGb~yyfSlJNWFoDamK1C89ngHBJ24enqCtJQFHpg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Page County Public Schools presented details Thursday on a facilities master plan led by RMM Architects that staff said will guide capital-improvement priorities and enrollment- and facilities-related decisions through early 2026. Doctor Johnson, director of human resources and business operations, told the board the firm and a team of specialist subcontractors will begin building evaluations and demographic analysis this summer.
The plan will use the district’s 2023–24 comprehensive facilities assessment by Bureau Veritas as a baseline, add on-site walkthroughs and pair those findings with demographic modeling and cost estimates. \"We are truly off and running with this project. It is very, very exciting to look at the level of data that's gonna be evaluated and the depth of the study,\" Doctor Johnson said.
Why it matters: the work is intended to inform the district’s five-year capital improvement plan, attendance-boundary questions and decisions about aging buildings and renovations. Superintendent and board members framed the effort as the technical foundation for near-term repair priorities and longer-term facility investments.
Most important facts: RMM Architects will lead the project. The district said the RMM team includes LPA for mechanical, electrical and plumbing; the Timmons Group for civil engineering; FutureThink to perform demographics and geocoding; and Osmundsen for cost and estimating. Staff said the kickoff meeting occurred the prior week and that general building evaluations and targeted walkthroughs will take place over about four weeks, with some visits occurring while students are present so evaluators can observe building use patterns. The district estimated a January 2026 completion date for the master plan and described an initial six-month period of concentrated work.
Supporting details: staff said they uploaded Page County GIS district lines and facility blueprints to the consultant portal and provided two years of energy-usage data by building. Doctor Johnson said the district will \"match\" Bureau Veritas results with what consultants observe during walkthroughs rather than redoing a full assessment. The transportation and operations teams are coordinating logistics so walkthroughs can occur when corridors are accessible.
Background and next steps: the district previously created a capital improvement committee and partnered with the Page County Board of Supervisors to seek architectural guidance. Staff said the master plan will inform the capital improvement plan (CIP), attendance-boundary considerations and future renovation sequencing. No contract value or additional budget requests were announced at the meeting.
Staff cautioned that some campus evaluations will be easier when buildings are empty and some require students and staff to be present. Staff also said the team will conduct a capacity and programming analysis and provide energy and cost-estimating work as part of the RMM-led scope.
What to watch: board members asked that findings be shared when available; staff said they expect a series of deliverables through the fall and a full plan by January 2026.
","Page County Public Schools selected RMM Architects to lead a facilities master plan that will use prior Bureau Veritas data, include building walkthroughs, a demographic study and consultant teams for MEP, civil and cost estimation; deliverable is expected by January 2026.","actionData","errors"]
