During its June 12 meeting, the Henrico County School Board approved its consent agenda (items 8.01 through 8.56), voting to accept multiple routine and previously reviewed items, including specific projects and policies highlighted by a board member.

“...I have 3 items that I would just like to highlight, And I'll begin with item number 8.07, which is the award of construction contract for chiller replacements at 2 schools. Those 2 schools are Hermitage High School and Fairfield Middle School,” said Miss Kinsella, a school board member who called attention to three items on the consent agenda. Kinsella also highlighted item 8.08, the schematic design approval for the Johnson Elementary School renovation (a bond project from the 2022 bond), and item 8.48, the approval of the 2025–26 code of student conduct.

A motion to approve the consent agenda was moved by Mister Irving and seconded by Miss Kinsella. The board approved the consent agenda by voice vote; the chair declared “the ayes have it.” The transcript records no separate discussion or roll-call vote for the highlighted items during the June 12 meeting; the items were presented as part of the consent package and had been reviewed in prior meetings, including work sessions.

Why it matters: the items include construction and renovation projects funded through previously authorized bonds and routine policy approvals affecting student conduct for the 2025–26 school year. The schematic design approval advances the Johnson Elementary renovation within the 2022 bond program, and the chiller contract addresses building mechanical systems at Hermitage High School and Fairfield Middle School.

Discussion vs. decision: the approval recorded on June 12 was a formal board action (consent agenda approved). The transcript does not show additional debate or amendments to the highlighted items at this meeting.

Ending: board members moved on to new business after the consent vote; no further discussion of these specific projects or the code of student conduct appears in the meeting record for June 12.
