DeLand, FL – During a workshop tomorrow, (May 11) Volusia County School Board (VCSB) members will talk about Employment Benefit Contract for the coming school year. Also on the agenda are proposed changes to Policy 503, which required mandatory face coverings, put in place in July 2020. VCSB District 4 member Carl Persis said that School Superintendent Dr. Scott Fritz was directed to modify the current policy. One of the things that we learned was that because of the advertising requirements we need to advertise this for 28 days. At this time, the draft policy states that the provision to make face coverings optional for students and employees would become effective July 1.

STAUNTON, Va. (WVIR) - In Staunton Thursday night, the School Board and City Council had a joint meeting to talk money, and theyâre still $444,000 apart on a spending plan.
The School District is asking the city for $13.9 million dollars. Itâs the same amount of money budgeted for 2020, pre-pandemic. That would help address the effects of the pandemic and support strategic initiatives. That includes a 5% employee raise and 19 new demand-driven positions, some of which fill holes left by the 2009 recession.
