Topics getting the most attention in Charlottesville public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
$2 Million in School Contingency Funds
Council discussed adding language to the budget ordinance to recover money from the schools budget if state funding exceeds the local adopted amount. Snook suggested skipping it when the amount is under $1 million.
School resource officer program rollout
Two newly selected SROs — one for the middle school, one for the high school — are new to the role and still training. The board wants to meet the officers, possibly invite the superintendent in July, and review the memorandum of understanding, which it flagged as too vague on issues like physical contact and calling for backup.
