During the meeting, Tracey Worley discussed how the economic impact was not as bad as originally thought and hopefully things would continue to improve, but that there was a spending freeze at this time. The following students were highlighted in a presentation for recognition by the Board:
- 2019-2020 School Board Student Representatives
- Beta Club Winners
- Region 2C State Wrestling Champion (Elijah Moshenek)
- State VHSL Class 2 Male Athlete of the Year (Ethan Lewis)
- VSBA Regional Art Contest Winners
- SkillsUSA Winners
- Perfect Attendance (13 years)
- Industry Certification Perfect Scores
Other items of discussion included the State Review Board and the Virginia Board of Historic Resources would be considering, at its June 18 meeting, Southside High School to be placed on the National Register of Historic Places and included in the Virginia Landmarks Register. Too, Pittsylvania County reached out to PCS in an effort to renovate the Educational and Cultural Center (ECC) Auditorium for the purpose of creating a multipurpose meeting space that would allow for greater social distancing as well as live streaming of meetings. To perform the renovations, Pittsylvania County would spend part of its COVID-19 CARES Act Corona Virus Relief Funds. Board meeting documents with details attached to the PEA Gazette email and are posted on our PEA Blog.
