>> GOOD AFTERNOON. I'D LIKE TO CALL THE AUGUST 12, 2025 SCHOOL BOARD WORK SESSION TO ORDER.

FIRST, WE HAVE A PRESENTATION ON

[B. 2024-25 Successes & The School Year Ahead]

THE 2024-25 SUCCESSES IN THE SCHOOL YEAR AHEAD FROM DR. HIGH.

>> GOOD AFTERNOON. MS. COKER, MS. HUDGINS, SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS, DR. MURRAY.

IT GIVES ME GREAT PLEASURE THIS AFTERNOON TO PRESENT TO YOU THE HIGHLIGHTS FOR 24-25 AND TO TALK ABOUT INITIATIVES AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

I WILL NOT BE THE ONLY ONE UP HERE.

THE CHIEFS WILL BE FOLLOWING ME IN JUST A FEW MOMENTS.

SHOWING ON MINE OUT OF THERE.

SOME QUICK FACTS. CHESTERFIELD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS IS THE LARGEST SCHOOL SYSTEM IN CENTRAL VIRGINIA AND IS THE HOME OF OVER 64,000 STUDENTS, AND ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS ARE FULLY ACCREDITED.

IN CCPS, WE EMPLOY 11,800 PEOPLE MAKING US ONE OF THE REGION'S LARGEST EMPLOYERS.

WE ARE MINORITY SCHOOL DIVISION, BENEFITING FROM DIVERSE COMMUNITIES WITH MORE THAN 100 LANGUAGES SPOKEN IN THE HOMES OF OUR FAMILIES.

OUR STUDENT POPULATION IS ALSO DIVERSE.

ABOUT 13% OF OUR STUDENTS RECEIVE SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICES, 12% OF OUR STUDENTS RECEIVE GIFTED EDUCATION SERVICES, AND 9,100 CAREER CREDENTIALS WERE EARNED BY OUR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS DURING THE 24-25 SCHOOL YEAR.

IN 2024, 91% OF OUR STUDENTS GRADUATED ON TIME.

WE AWAIT RECEIVING THE FINAL CALCULATION FOR THE GRADUATION RATE FOR 2025.

CCPS HAS 68 SCHOOLS, ONE PRE-KINDERGARTEN, 40 ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, ONE VIRTUAL SCHOOL, 13 MIDDLE SCHOOLS, 11 HIGH SCHOOLS, WITH 13 SPECIALTY CENTERS, AND WE HAVE TWO CAREER TECHNICAL CENTERS AS WELL.

WITH TWO ADDITIONAL SCHOOLS OPENING IN THE NEXT TWO YEARS, AND ELEMENTARY AND A HIGH SCHOOL.

SCA IS OUR ONE PRE-K KINDERGARTEN, AND THEY SERVE 370 STUDENTS FROM 12 OF OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.

IF CHESTERFIELD WERE A BUSINESS, NOW WE ARE A BUSINESS.

IT WOULD BE ONE OF THE LARGEST IN CENTRAL VIRGINIA.

OUR ADOPTED FY26 BUDGET IS $1.7 MILLION.

OUR BUSES DRIVE OVER NINE MILLION MILES AND WE SERVE OVER 8.6 MILLION MEALS EACH YEAR.

LIKE I SAID, WE ARE A BUSINESS.

WE'RE IN THE BUSINESS OF SERVING STUDENTS AND MAKING SURE THEY GROW INTO YOUNG ADULTS WHO LEAVE US READY FOR THE WORLD, READY FOR EDUCATION, EMPLOYMENT, OR ENLISTMENT.

WITH OUR 11,800 STAFF MEMBERS.

THEY'RE COMPRISED OF MORE THAN 5,000 TEACHERS, 700 INSTRUCTIONAL ASSISTANTS, 700 TRANSPORTATION, FACILITIES, FOOD SERVICES, AND 200 SCHOOL-BASED LEADERS.

OUR GOAL IS TO RECRUIT, HIRE, TRAIN, AND RETAIN GREAT PEOPLE.

WITH THIS NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE'RE ABLE TO RETAIN ALL THE EMPLOYEES THAT WE CAN.

MEMBERS OF OUR TEAM CHESTERFIELD ARE RECOGNIZED EACH YEAR, BOTH STAFF MEMBERS AND SCHOOLS.

HERE ARE A FEW RECOGNITIONS.

WE HAVE NEARLY 100 CERTIFIED TEACHERS, NATIONAL BOARD CERTIFIED TEACHERS, EIGHT NATIONAL BLUE RIBBON SCHOOLS, SEVEN MIDDLE SCHOOLS TO WATCH, AND ONE ASSOCIATION FOR MIDDLE LEVEL EDUCATION SCHOOL OF DISTINCTION.

NOW WILL WELCOME TO THE PODIUM AND MICROPHONE, OUR CHIEFS, TO SHARE FROM THEIR DIVISIONS OTHER INSIGHTS, AS WELL AS WHAT'S COMING UP AS WE IMAGINE BEYOND TOMORROW FROM OUR STRATEGIC PLAN. DR. POPE.

>> AFTERNOON BOARD MEMBERS.

FROM THE DIVISION OF TEACHING AND LEARNING, I'D LIKE TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT OF INFORMATION.

YOU CAN SEE HERE ON THIS FIRST SLIDE, SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS FROM OUR 2024-25 SCHOOL YEAR WORK.

THESE HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE THE CONTINUED WORK TO IMPROVE LITERACY AND COMPLY WITH THE VIRGINIA LITERACY ACT.

THE ANNUAL WORK TO OFFER ROBUST PROFESSIONAL LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES TO OUR STAFF.

STUDENTS SUCCESS IN COMPLETING CAREER CREDENTIALS AND WORK-BASED LEARNING EXPERIENCES, AND AS WELL AS LEVERAGING ONLINE LEARNING FOR TUTORING AND ON-TIME GRADUATION SUPPORT, AND OF COURSE, THE BUILDING OF OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION LEADERS PIPELINE.

IN LOOKING BACK TO THAT 2024-25 SCHOOL YEAR,

[00:05:04]

WE TAKE A MOMENT TO CELEBRATE THE MANY PROGRAMMATIC STAFF AND STUDENT ACCOLADES THAT WERE NOTED.

WHILE THIS IS AN IMPRESSIVE LIST, WE ALWAYS ARE ASKING, AS WE LOOK TO THE UPCOMING SCHOOL YEAR, HOW CAN WE FURTHER LIFT UP FOR RECOGNITION THE EXEMPLARY WORK OF OUR SCHOOLS, TEACHERS, AND STUDENTS.

STAY TUNED FOR NEXT YEAR'S LIST.

FINALLY, ON THIS SLIDE, WE ARE LOOKING AT THE WORK THAT WE'RE SPECIFICALLY FOCUSING ON THIS SCHOOL YEAR IN 2025-26.

TO INCLUDE ON THIS SLIDE HIGHLIGHTS WHERE WE'VE EARMARKED SOME OF OUR ATTENTION.

THE FIRST ONE, COLLABORATING WITH SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT, TO ADD RESOURCES FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORT, AND REFLECTING THOSE IN THE UPDATED INSTRUCTIONAL BEST PRACTICES GUIDES USED BY OUR SCHOOLS, SUPPORTING TEACHERS IN SUBJECTS THAT FACE NEW STANDARDS OF LEARNING, AND THE EXPANDED VIRGINIA LITERACY ACT REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE HITTING MIDDLE SCHOOL THIS YEAR AND FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADE.

EXPANDING PROFESSIONAL LEARNING TO SUPPORT AND INCLUDE THE USE OF GENERATIVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AT THE TEACHER AND SECONDARY STUDENT LEVEL, AND CONTINUING TO FIGURE OUT IN YEAR 2, THE VDOES NEW PERFORMANCE FRAMEWORK MEASURES.

AS WE LOOK BEYOND THIS COMING SCHOOL YEAR DOWN THE ROAD JUST A BIT FURTHER.

YOU'LL SEE THAT WE'VE PUT ONTO THIS SLIDE SOME OF OUR WORK THAT WILL CONTINUE, OF COURSE, WORKING ON THOSE APPROVED SCHOOL BOARD ITEMS SUCH AS THE STRATEGIC PLAN, THE LITERACY PLAN.

I MATH PATHWAYS.

OUR IMPLEMENTATION WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT TEACHERS AS NEW STANDARDS CHANGE IN THE YEARS AHEAD IN DIFFERENT SUBJECT AREAS.

WE'LL CONTINUE IMPROVEMENTS IN SPECIAL EDUCATION FROM OUR EARLIEST CHILDHOOD INCLUSION EXPERIENCES TO THOSE POST-GRADUATION CAREER EXPERIENCES.

FINALLY, WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO EXPAND WORK BASED LEARNING AND EXPANSION OF CTE AT THE HALL STREET LOCATION.

JUST SOME THINGS TO LOOK FORWARD TO BEYOND THIS COMING SCHOOL YEAR.

I THINK I PAUSE NOW BEFORE I HAND OFF TO THE NEXT CHIEF TO ASK IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS.

ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE I HAND OFF TO SAN SMITH? WE'RE GOING TO KEEP ROLLING THEN. THANK YOU.

>> FOR THE HIGHLIGHTS FOR COMMUNICATION AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT PIECES HERE.

THE OFFICE OF FAMILY AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, LED BY AMY BARTILOTTI.

THEY HAVE WORKED TO EXPAND OBVIOUSLY THE SCALE AND SCOPE OF OUR PROGRAMMING THROUGH FAMILIES, AND WE'RE TALKING A SECOND ABOUT THE DATABASE DECISION MAKING.

PRINTING SERVICES LED BY BRIAN MORRIS.

HE'S CONTINUING TO WORK TO EXPAND HIS PRINTING SERVICES, KNOWN THAT IS A SHARED SERVICE WITH THE COUNTY GOVERNMENT.

COMMUNITIES IN SCHOOLS LED BY ASHLEY HALL, OBVIOUSLY WITH THE BOARD'S INVESTMENT AND PARTNERSHIP, CONTINUING TO EXPAND TO ADDITIONAL SCHOOLS, NOW SERVING ABOUT 1,000 MORE STUDENTS.

CONSTITUENT SERVICES STUDENT LEADERSHIP, LED BY DR. JOHN PHILLIPS, CONTINUED TO WORK TO TRAIN OUR ADMINISTRATORS ON TITLE IX REGULATIONS, AS WELL AS SOME OF OUR PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE COUNTY GOVERNMENT WITH THE CHESTERFIELD SPORTS HALL OF FAME INITIATIVE.

THE DEPARTMENT OF CREATIVE MEDIA SERVICES LED BY JANIE QUINN, WORKING TO REALLY ESTABLISH A MORE STRUCTURED ROLE FOR OUR COMMUNICATIONS TEAM, ENSURING THAT WE'RE SERVICING CLOSELY WITH OUR WORK DIRECTLY WITH OUR SCHOOLS.

THE COMING SCHOOL YEAR TO THE OFFICE OF FAMILY AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, WE SPENT SOME TIME OBVIOUSLY GATHERING DATA WITH REGARD TO OUR PROGRAMMING SERVICES.

NOW WE'RE TAKING THAT DATA TO ADAPT OBVIOUSLY OUR SERVICE OFFERINGS.

COMMUNITIES IN SCHOOLS, WORKING WITH THE EXPANSION TO OUR NEW SCHOOL, HOPKINS ELEMENTARY.

WE'RE WORKING TO ESTABLISH BASED ON DIFFERENT SCHEDULES, OBVIOUSLY A RIBBON CUTTING.

WE KNOW WE'LL START NEXT WEEK BY RIBBON CUTTING PROPER FOR THAT INITIATIVE.

PRINTING SERVICES, WORKING TO TRAIN THEIR STAFF ON SOME OF THE NEW INITIATIVES.

THEY'RE DOING WITH SOME OF THE NEW PRODUCTS THEY HAVE WITH SOME OF THE DIFFERENT MACHINES THAT WE'RE ESTABLISHING TO PROVIDE DIFFERENT SERVICES AND PRODUCTS.

CONSTITUENT SERVICES CONTINUE TO DEVELOP NEW RESOURCES WITH TITLE IX, AS WE LOOK CLOSELY AT CHANGES THAT ARE COMING OUT THROUGH CONVERSATIONS IN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

THEN FOR CREATIVE AND MEDIA SERVICES, WORKING TO ESTABLISH A PR REP PROGRAM THROUGH OUR CABINET, WHICH WE'LL BE TALKING MORE ABOUT THIS SCHOOL YEAR, TO ALSO HIGHLIGHT IN ADDITION TO MANY SUCCESSES AND HIGHLIGHTS THROUGHOUT THE DIVISION, THE WORK THAT IS HAPPENING WITHIN OUR CENTRAL OFFICE AND A CABINET DIRECTLY.

LOOKING FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD, OBVIOUSLY, CONTINUE TO LEVERAGE AND IDENTIFY AND SCALE OUT OUR COMMUNITY PROGRAMS, WORKING WITH COMMUNITIES AND SCHOOLS TO CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THAT FIVE YEAR SHEET EXPANSION PLAN.

PRINTING SERVICES, WORKING CLOSELY WITH OUR COUNTY GOVERNMENT PARTNERS TO EXPAND THOSE SERVICES AND SOME OF THE PRINT OPTIONS.

[00:10:03]

WE PROVIDE A PRETTY SUSTAINABLE PRICE POINT.

THEN SERVICES, CONTINUE TO WORK CLOSELY WITH OUR INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL STAKEHOLDERS.

I PARCEL WITH THAT TWO WITH THE WORK WITH CREATIVE SERVICES, WORKING CLOSELY ON SOME OF OUR INTERNAL COMMUNICATION EFFORTS, NAMELY THROUGH OUR EMPLOYEE BASE.

WITH THAT, I'LL PAUSE FOR ANY QUESTIONS AND TURN IT OVER TO BOB MEISTER.

>> THANK YOU, MR. SMITH, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEND A FEW MOMENTS HERE TALKING ABOUT FINANCE AND HIGHLIGHTS.

THAT'S NOT A PAGE OF NUMBERS.

HIGHLIGHTS FY26.

AS EVERY BUDGET PROCESS YEAR HAS ITS UPS AND DOWNS.

WE LANDED IN A PRETTY GOOD SPOT WITH $43 MILLION IN INCREMENTAL FUNDING, FUNDING SEVERAL OF THE BOARD'S KEY INITIATIVES, INCLUDING RAISES FOR STAFF AND ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR VULNERABLE POPULATIONS.

AS I'LL TALK ABOUT MORE AS WE FLIP FORWARD, WE'D LOVE TO DO MORE, BUT WE'RE ABLE TO DO SOME VERY NICE THINGS WITH THAT.

THE OTHER BIG PIECE OF LAST YEAR WAS CONTINUING TO FUND AND ENSURE WE'RE DOING THE RIGHT THINGS WITH OUR CIP DOLLARS.

THAT SHOWS UP IN THE COMMUNITY THROUGH THE OPENING OF FALLING CREEK, END OF THE PREVIOUS YEAR ROLLING INTO LAST YEAR, AS WELL AS WHAT IS JUST NOW GETTING OPEN, WHICH IS THE DEEP CREEK MIDDLE SCHOOL AND THE AM DAVIS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AS NEW PROJECTS AS WELL AS SEVERAL OTHER PROJECTS THAT ARE VERY MUCH UNDERDEVELOPMENT AND IN PROCESS.

THE OTHER BIG THING WE ACCOMPLISHED THIS PAST YEAR, WHICH DR. LONGWORTH, WE'RE TALKING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT, I'M SURE IS THE NEW CHROMEBOOK LEASE AND THE EXCITEMENT OF PUTTING THOSE NEW DEVICES IN OUR STUDENTS HANDS.

THAT'S OBVIOUSLY A MASSIVE OPERATIONAL EFFORT, BUT PROUD TO SAY THAT WE FOUND THE DOLLARS TO MAKE SURE THAT HAPPENS AND WE'VE GOT GREAT TECHNOLOGY IN OUR STUDENTS HANDS.

THAT'S WHAT WE LOOK LIKE AS EXCITING THINGS OUTSIDE OF THE PUBLIC.

THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT HAPPEN INTERNALLY AND A LOT OF THAT FOCUSED THIS PAST YEAR ON WORKDAY.

WE'RE VERY MUCH IN THE PROCESS OF BUILDING THAT NEW SYSTEM IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE COUNTY, A LOT OF TESTING, A LOT OF DESIGN, A LOT OF WORK HAPPENED IN FY25.

WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL SLIDES AND YEARS.

THE OTHER BIG PIECE OF LAST YEAR THAT WE CAN'T FORGET IS THE END OF ESR.

YES, WE HAD PLENTY OF INTERESTING OPPORTUNITIES TO EXPLORE NEW FUNDING STREAMS AS ER CAME THROUGH, A LOT OF GREAT PILOTS, A LOT OF GREAT LEARNINGS.

WE MUST REMEMBER THAT EARLY IN FY25, WE EXHAUSTED THE LAST OF OUR 51 MILLION OF ESSER 3 FUNDS THAT MUST BE CONTINUED TO KEEP IN MIND AS PART OF WHAT WE ACCOMPLISHED LAST YEAR AND BEING ABLE TO CLOSE THAT GRANT OUT WITH NO DOLLARS LEFT ON THE TABLE.

THE OTHER BIG PIECE OF WHAT MY TEAM MANAGES, I'M FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO WORK WITH BERKELEY, CASEY, AND THE REST OF THE FOOD SERVICE STAFF ON WHAT THEY DO.

I KNOW DR. HIGH SAID 8.6. THAT'S TECHNICALLY RIGHT.

I'LL TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ROUND THAT UP AND SAY APPROXIMATELY NINE MILLION MEALS FOR OUR STUDENTS THIS PAST YEAR.

ALSO MADE MANY GREAT STRIDES TO GET THAT WAREHOUSE UP AND READY FOR WHAT WILL BE A GREAT FIRST YEAR OF REALLY FULLY OPERATIONAL THIS COMING YEAR IN FY26.

MR. DUNBRACK CAME AND TALKED TO YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MANY OF THE AWARDS.

I HIGHLIGHT A COUPLE OF THEM HERE, INCLUDING SCL, GETTING THE VIRGINIA SCHOOL BREAKFAST AWARD FROM VDOE AS WELL AS A VSBA AWARD FOR MEAL ACCESS TO FIGHT HUNGER FOR OUR WORK THAT WE DO AT THE FOOD MARKET OVER THE, THAT'S THE WORD, FARMERS MARKET OVER THE SUMMER.

A LOT OF GREAT THINGS HAPPENING IN FOOD SERVICE AS WELL.

AS WE LOOK FORWARD TO NEXT YEAR, I'M GOING TO PULL WORK DAY FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE SHEET UP TO THE TOP.

AS WE LOOK TO ACTUALLY IMPLEMENT THAT.

THIS YEAR, WE HAVE A GO LIVE DATE SCHEDULED FOR OCTOBER FOR OUR FINANCE PORTION, WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY PROCUREMENT AND BACK OFFICE STUFF.

HR PAYROLL HAPPENS IN DECEMBER AND JANUARY, WHICH WILL BE ANOTHER BIG LIFT AND BIG LAUNCH FOR THE COUNTY AND SCHOOLS THERE.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE'VE GOT A NEW BUDGET PROCESS COMING UP AS WE ALWAYS DO.

I WILL LEAVE THIS ONE HERE WITH YOU AND SAY THIS YEAR IS GOING TO BE ABOUT NAVIGATING UNCERTAINTY.

YOU SAW A LOT OF THAT THIS PAST SUMMER AS WE NAVIGATED SOME OF THE FEDERAL UNCERTAINTY WITH THE VARIOUS TITLE FUNDS THAT WERE HELD BACK FOR A PERIOD OF TIME.

I EXPECT FURTHER UNCERTAINTY WITH FEDERAL GRANTS.

IT'S ALSO AN ELECTION YEAR.

>> THAT COMES WITH THIS OWN BRAND OF UNCERTAINTY WHERE THE GOVERNOR WHO PROVIDES THE BUDGET IN DECEMBER WILL NOT BE THE GOVERNOR WHO SEES THE END OF THE BUDGET PROCESS, WHOMEVER HAPPENS TO WIN IN NOVEMBER,

[00:15:02]

GIVEN THE NATURE OF VIRGINIA.

ALSO, WE ARE DOING SOME MINOR UPDATES WITHIN OUR OWN INTERNAL PROCESS TO GET A BETTER AND SHINIER, IF YOU WILL, BUDGET SOFTWARE TO MAKE OUR INTERNAL PROCESS EASIER.

WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT AS WELL.

THE FOURTH BULLET HERE TALKS ABOUT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN.

AGAIN, REALLY EXCITED TO WORK WITH OUR NEW COO ON WHAT HIS PRIORITIES LOOK LIKE RELATIVE TO WHAT WE'VE HAD IN THE PAST BEFORE AND HOW WE CONTINUE TO PUT THOSE IDEAS TOGETHER TO MARRY THEM WITH WHAT THE BOARD'S PRIORITIES ARE AND THE SUPERINTENDENT'S NEEDS ARE ACROSS A CIP.

EXCITING TO HAVE A FRESH LOOK AT THAT PROCESS AS WE GO FORWARD, AND CONTINUING TO ADVANCE THE FOOD SERVICE WAREHOUSE AND MAKE SURE THAT ROLLS OUT EFFECTIVELY.

LOOKING EVEN FURTHER BEYOND THAT, I TALKED ABOUT NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET PROCESS BEING ABOUT MANAGING THE UNCERTAINTY.

AS I LOOK BEYOND THAT, I REALLY WANT TO TURN IT INTO MORE HOW DO WE ACTUALLY DELIVER ON MANY OF THOSE STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS AROUND SUSTAINABILITY AND EQUITY AND NOT JUST HOW DO WE KEEP THE LIGHTS ON.

LET'S LOOK TO ACTUALLY MAKE SOME OF THE GREAT INVESTMENTS THAT WE KNOW ARE OUT THERE TO REALLY HELP OUR STUDENTS SUCCEED.

CIP, I TALKED ABOUT LET'S FORM THAT NEW VISION OF WHAT'S NEXT ON THE CIP.

THAT'S A MULTI-YEAR PROCESS NO MATTER HOW YOU LOOK AT IT, SO THAT'LL CONTINUE TO BE A FOCUS FOR US.

I DIDN'T START WITH UNCERTAINTY LONG TERM, BUT IT'S CLEARLY THERE, I NEED TO KEEP TALKING ABOUT UNCERTAINTY IN THE BUDGET PROCESS.

THAT'S NOT GOING AWAY, BUT HOPEFULLY WE GET A LITTLE BIT MORE CERTAINTY AS WE GO FORWARD.

ERP. YES, WE'RE ROLLING OUT THIS YEAR.

IT'S GOING TO BE EXCITING. WE'RE GOING TO GET THERE.

BUT WE KNOW ON DAY 1, IT'S NOT GOING TO DELIVER EVERYTHING THE WORK DAY SYSTEM IS CAPABLE OF.

THERE'S GOING TO BE QUITE FRANKLY, MULTI-YEAR PROCESS TO DELIVER ALL THE VALUE OF THAT ERP SYSTEM EVEN AFTER GO LIVE THIS COMING YEAR.

MAJOR MAINTENANCE, REPLACEMENT CYCLES ARE ANOTHER HUGE PRIORITY FOR MYSELF.

I KNOW IT IS FOR THE BOARD, REALLY GET INTO HOW ARE WE GOING TO MAINTAIN EVERYTHING FROM MAJOR MAINTENANCE TO BUSES TO CHROMEBOOKS TO STAFF LAPTOPS, ETC., ALL THESE THINGS THAT HAVE A NATURAL LIFESPAN.

HOW DO WE BUILD OURSELVES INTO A PROCESS WHERE WE'RE NOT SURPRISED WHEN WE NEED TO BUY A NEW TRUCK OR REPLACE SCHOOL BUSES.

WE KNOW THESE THINGS HAVE A USEFUL LIFE.

LET'S PLAN FOR THOSE.

LASTLY, FOOD SERVICE, WE TALK ABOUT THE WAREHOUSE IN TERMS OF DELIVERING FOOD.

BERKELEY'S LAID OUT A VISION THERE OF DOING MORE WITH THAT SPACE SCRATCH COOKING TO ENABLE MORE CHOICE THROUGH THOSE FOOD LINES, AND I'M REALLY EXCITED TO DELIVER THAT IN THE LONG TERM.

WITH THAT, I'LL PAUSE FOR ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD.

HEARING NONE, DR. HUFF.

>> GOOD AFTERNOON. I'M PLEASED BE ABLE TO SHARE WITH YOU THIS AFTERNOON SOME HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES AND TALENT MANAGEMENT THIS YEAR.

SINCE JULY 1 OF LAST YEAR, WE HAVE HIRED 3,366 NEW HIRES, REHIRES AND SUBSTITUTES, AND WE COMPLETED 66 RECRUITING EVENTS.

MOST OF THOSE WERE IN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, BUT WE ALSO WENT TO COMMUNITY EVENTS AS WELL AS COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES, AND THAT REPRESENTS AN 8% INCREASE OVER LAST YEAR.

WE'RE PROUD OF THAT BECAUSE WE DO HAVE ONE RECRUITER, WHO'S REALLY FULL TIME ON THE ERP PROJECT, DESIGNING A NEW APPLICANT TRACKING SYSTEM.

WE PILOTED, REGIONALIZED SUBSTITUTE RECRUITING EVENTS.

THIS WAS FOR SCHOOLS WHO HAD A FILL RATE FOR SUBSTITUTES THAT WAS BELOW OUR DISTRICT AVERAGE, AND WE TARGETED 19 SCHOOLS, AND AS A RESULT OF THE EVENTS, WE TOOK PRE-IMPOSE DATA, AND 17 OF 19 OF THOSE SCHOOLS HAD A SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT IN THEIR FILL RATE.

WE PLAN ON USING THAT STRATEGY AGAIN THIS YEAR SINCE WE GOT A LOT OF YIELD FROM THAT.

WE ACHIEVED OUR GOAL OF HAVING 3,400 SUBSTITUTES ON OUR ROSTER, RIGHT SIZING OUR SUBSTITUTE POOL, AND WE INCREASED OUR FILL RATE TO 90%.

WE'RE REALLY PROUD OF THAT BECAUSE THAT WAS A PRE-PANDEMIC GOLD STANDARD.

WE KNOW THAT'S A SIGNIFICANT WORKING CONDITION FOR TEACHERS AND SO I JUST WANT TO PAUSE A MOMENT TO THANK THIS BOARD AND THE PREVIOUS BOARD FOR REALLY MULTI-YEAR SUPPORT OF SUBSTITUTE EFFORTS FROM A COMPETITIVE DAILY RATE TO EXTRA HIGH DEMAND DAYS OR FRIDAYS.

I THINK THOSE HAVE REALLY HELPED AND HAVING A PERSON DEDICATED TO INTERVIEWING SUBSTITUTES EVERY DAY HAS REALLY HELPED WITH OUR FILL RATE.

[00:20:05]

WE ALSO WON A NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COUNTIES AWARD THIS YEAR FOR OUR SUBSTITUTE TEACHER HIRING AND ENGAGEMENT INITIATIVE.

I'M REALLY PROUD OF HOW THAT'S GOING.

WE ARE ALSO PROUD TO ANNOUNCE WE'VE EXPANDED OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH PARTICIPATE LEARNING, AND WE NOW HAVE 84 LICENSED EXPERIENCED INTERNATIONAL TEACHERS FROM 12 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES, SO WE'RE BRINGING THE WORLD TO OUR STUDENTS IN CHESTERFIELD.

WE COMPLETED DIGITIZATION OF PERSONNEL FILES AT ADDITIONAL 22 SCHOOLS AND DEPARTMENTS THIS YEAR, AND THAT'S A TOTAL OF 62% COMPLETE, AND WE ARE ON TRACK TO HAVE THAT PROJECT COMPLETED BY THE END OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN.

WE ALSO HAD THE SECOND HIGHEST COMPLETION RATE FOR THE ITEACH PROGRAM IN THE STATE OF VIRGINIA.

ITEACH NOW HAS OVER 100 DISTRICT PARTNERS IN VIRGINIA.

CHESTERFIELD WAS AN EARLY PARTNER FOR THAT PROGRAM.

WE'VE HAD 170 ASPIRING TEACHERS ENROLL, AND AT THIS DATA POINT 54 HAD COMPLETED.

WE HAVE MORE COMPLETING EVERY DAY.

I'M EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THIS MONTH, WE HAVE FOUR INFORMATION SESSIONS, FOUR CAREER SWITCHERS.

FIRST ONE IS TOMORROW NIGHT AT PROVIDENCE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, AND WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO SPONSOR AN ADDITIONAL COHORT OF PEOPLE TO GET THEIR TEACHING LICENSE.

WE WERE EXCITED WHEN THOSE FEDERAL FUNDS FLOWED AND WE'RE ABLE TO DO THAT.

WE'RE GOING TO BE FOCUSING ON SPECIAL EDUCATION, MATH, EL, AND ELEMENTARY.

TOMORROW AT FIVE O'CLOCK AT PROVIDENCE ELEMENTARY, PEOPLE CAN COME OUT AND HEAR ABOUT HOW TO CAREER SWITCH, OR THEY CAN JOIN US VIRTUALLY THE NEXT EVENING AT FOUR O'CLOCK.

NEXT WEEK, WE WILL BE DOING THAT AGAIN AUGUST 20 AT TOMAHAWK CREEK MIDDLE SCHOOL AT FIVE O'CLOCK.

THEN AGAIN, VIRTUALLY ON THE 21ST AT FOUR O'CLOCK AND PEOPLE CAN FIND ALL THE INFORMATION ON OUR WEBSITE.

WE HOPE TO HAVE ANOTHER STRONG COHORT COMPLETING.

WE'VE ENHANCED OUR TEACHER LICENSURE SUPPORT.

WE MADE 65 ON SITE SCHOOL VISITS THIS YEAR, SO WE REACHED OUT TO ALL THE SCHOOLS.

A LOT OF SCHOOLS TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THAT AND WE HOPE TO DO THAT AGAIN THIS YEAR TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE INDIVIDUALIZED SUPPORT FOR PEOPLE BECAUSE THERE ARE MULTIPLE PATHWAYS TO EARNING A TEACHING LICENSE AND DEPENDING ON SOMEONE'S BACKGROUND, EXPERIENCES, TRANSCRIPTS, THERE MAY BE A PATHWAY THAT IS MORE ATTRACTIVE TO THEM.

WE HAVE THE COMING SCHOOL YEAR, 18 STAFF MEMBERS ARE SERVING AS PROJECT PARTICIPANTS, EITHER MODULE LEADS OR SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS FOR THE ERP PROJECT.

WE HAVE A LOT OF MODULES IN THAT PHASE 2 THAT MR. MEISTER SPOKE ABOUT, THE HUMAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, BENEFITS, TALENT ACQUISITION, COMPENSATION MANAGEMENT, TALENT MANAGEMENT, DATA, AND THEN WE'RE COLLABORATING ON MODULES LIKE ABSENT MANAGEMENT, TIME TRACKING, AND PAYROLL.

A LOT GOING ON THERE.

WE ALSO, THIS COMING YEAR, WE'RE EXPECTING TO REALIZE THE BENEFITS OF OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH LONGWOOD UNIVERSITY.

WE WERE ABLE TO SPONSOR TWO READING SPECIALIST COHORTS, AND WE HAVE 17 PEOPLE ON TRACK TO FINISH THIS MONTH, AND THEN ANOTHER 16 ON TRACK TO FINISH IN DECEMBER.

THAT'S GOING TO HELP US TO MEET THOSE NEW STATE LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENTS FOR READING SPECIALISTS.

BEYOND TOMORROW, WE ARE PLANNING TO CONTINUE TO TRAIN AND ITERATE AND UPDATE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NEW ERP SOFTWARE.

OUR GOAL WOULD BE TO SPEND LESS TIME ON THE TRANSACTIONAL NATURE OF PROCESSING THINGS AND MORE TIME REALLY GETTING TO KNOW EACH SCHOOL, EACH HIRING MANAGER, EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR AND REALLY BEING ABLE TO BE MORE OF A STRATEGIC PARTNER FOR EACH HIRING MANAGER.

WE WILL BE EVALUATING THE RESULTS OF PUBLICLY AND PRIVATELY FUNDED SMALL GRANT PROJECTS.

WE KNOW THE FUNDING PICTURE CHANGES IT SEEMS LIKE DAILY, BUT WE ARE INVOLVED IN SEVERAL PARTNERSHIPS LIKE INSTRUCTIONAL ASSISTANT TO TEACHER PREPARATION, PARTNERSHIPS AND PILOTS, AND WE WANT TO CONSIDER FUTURE PATHWAYS IN LIGHT OF NEW FUNDING ENVIRONMENTS.

OF COURSE, IT'S NOT A SURPRISE TO THIS BOARD THAT WE HAVE A GOAL IN CCPS OF CONTINUING OUR COMPENSATION PATHWAY TO $60,000 MINIMUM STARTING SALARY FOR TEACHERS WITH APPROPRIATE RESOURCES AND $16 AN HOUR MINIMUM FOR CLASSIFIED POSITIONS.

[00:25:04]

THEN FINALLY, WE ARE ON TRACK TO FINISH OUR DIGITIZATION PROJECT IN 2028, IF NOT BEFORE.

I'LL JUST PAUSE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

IF NOT, I'LL INTRODUCE MY COLLEAGUE, DR. REED BODEKA.

>> GOOD AFTERNOON. IT IS INDEED AN EXCITING TIME IN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY SCHOOLS, IN PARTICULAR IN THE OPERATIONS DIVISION.

I'M SO THRILLED TO BE HERE WITH YOU TO DISCUSS SOME OF THE GREAT WORK BEING DONE ON OUR TEAM.

AS YOU KNOW, WE'VE HAD A NUMBER OF VERY PUBLIC, VERY EXCITING RIBBON CUTTINGS OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS AS WELL AS GROUNDBREAKINGS FOR NEW SCHOOLS, DEEP CREEK MIDDLE SCHOOL, AS WELL AS AM DAVIS AND GROUNDBREAKING AT THE WESTERN AREA TO WESTERN AREA SCHOOLS.

ALSO HAD A TOPPING OFF CEREMONY AT THE WESTERN AREA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL YESTERDAY.

WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THOSE PROJECTS.

THOSE ARE GENERATIONAL PROJECTS THAT WILL HAVE INCREDIBLE IMPACTS ON OUR COMMUNITY FOR MANY GENERATIONS TO COME AND WE'RE VERY THANKFUL FOR THE BOARD'S LEADERSHIP FOR THOSE PROJECTS.

ON THE SIDE OF THINGS THAT ARE RELATED TO FACILITIES, THEY'RE NOT MAYBE QUITE SO EXCITING.

WE'VE ALSO ENGAGED IN A NUMBER OF PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN FOCUSED ON ENSURING THAT WE ARE MAINTAINING THE BUILDINGS THAT WE HAVE.

WE HAVE A VERY ROBUST PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM THAT'S BEEN ROLLED OUT THROUGHOUT THE DIVISION.

THEREFORE, CONTRACTS THAT HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED FOR HVAC PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE IN THE DIVISION.

WE ALSO REPLACED A NUMBER OF HVAC COMPONENTS THROUGHOUT THE DIVISION SUCH AS AT PROVIDENCE MIDDLE SCHOOL, SPRING RUN ELEMENTARY, CARVER MIDDLE SCHOOL, THOMAS DALE WEST CAMPUS, AND MEADOWBROOK HIGH SCHOOL.

THESE ARE COMPONENTS OF THE HVAC SYSTEM THAT ARE VERY, VERY IMPORTANT TO THE CONTINUAL OPERATION.

AGAIN, THOSE ARE THOSE ARE COMPONENTS THAT JUST MAKE THIS BUILDING A GREAT PLACE TO LEARN AND FOR OUR STUDENTS AND STAFF TO BE.

WE'VE ALSO MADE TREMENDOUS IMPACTS ON OUR SCHOOL SECURITY PROGRAM, AS WELL AS OUR TRANSPORTATION PROGRAMS. AS YOU KNOW, WE'VE ROLLED OUT WEAPONS DETECTION THROUGHOUT THE DIVISION.

WE'VE PROCURED THAT WILL GO IN LIVE WHEN SCHOOL OPENS IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS OR NEXT WEEK, AND WE'RE VERY EXCITED FOR THAT, THAT WILL PROBABLY TAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS OVER TIME TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE DOING THAT RIGHT.

WE'VE ALSO ADDED SCHOOL SECURITY OFFICERS THROUGHOUT THE DIVISION.

WE HAVE INSTALLED BALLISTIC FILM, SECURITY VESTIBULES, AS WELL AS CAMERA INSTALLATION THROUGHOUT THE DIVISION.

WE'VE MADE TREMENDOUS IMPACTS ON SCHOOL SECURITY THROUGHOUT THE DIVISION.

WE'VE ALSO TRAINED OUR SCHOOL SECURITY OFFICERS AND DEVELOP AND CONTINUE TO DEVELOP THAT PROGRAM.

ON THE TRANSPORTATION SIDE OF THINGS, WE'VE PROCURED A NUMBER OF SCHOOL BUSES 64 IN THE LAST TWO YEARS.

THIS IS ONE OF THOSE ITEMS THAT BOB MENTIONED ABOUT A CONTINUAL REPLACEMENT PROGRAM TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A CONSISTENT AND PLANNED APPROACH TO THAT WORK.

WE ALSO ARE ABLE TO ACHIEVE A 97% ON-TIME PERFORMANCE RATE LAST YEAR, THAT'S CONSISTENT WITH YOUR STRATEGIC PLAN, SO THAT'S VERY EXCITING.

WE'RE ALSO VERY EXCITED FOR NEXT YEAR.

WE HAVE WHAT WE WILL CALL A FULLY STAFFED TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT AS A RESULT OF THE BOARD'S INVESTMENT IN COMPENSATION FOR DRIVERS OVER THE LAST YEAR.

WE DO HAVE A COUPLE OF POSITIONS, FTES THAT ARE IN FLUX AT ANY ONE TIME.

WE HAVE EVERY SINGLE ROUTE COVERED AS WELL AS WHAT WE THINK ARE SUFFICIENT COVERAGE FOR WHEN THERE ARE SUBSTITUTES NEEDED AND THAT SORT OF THING.

WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

THAT'S A HUGE SUCCESS FOR THE SCHOOL DIVISION, AND WE SHOULD BE VERY PROUD OF IT.

IN THE COMING SCHOOL YEAR, WE WILL CONTINUE A VARIETY OF CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE GOING ON.

WE'LL HAVE SOME REZONINGS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THAT PROCESS.

THAT'S THE VERY HAPPY THING THAT WE'LL DO.

WE HAVE A NUMBER OF ASSESSMENT PROCESSES THAT WILL GO ON THROUGHOUT THE DIVISION.

THERE IS AN ADA ASSESSMENT PROCESS WHERE WE WILL NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF OUR SCHOOLS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT AND MAKE ADJUSTMENTS WHERE WE NEED TO.

THAT'LL GO OVER A COUPLE OF YEARS.

AS WELL AS AN INDOOR AIR QUALITY INSPECTION PROCESS THAT WILL MAKE SURE THAT THE SCHOOLS AGAIN ARE AS HAPPY AND HEALTHY AND SAFE AS WE POSSIBLY CAN BE AS WE'RE ADJUSTING TO THAT.

WE WILL ALSO MAKE SOME ADDITIONAL WORK TO ROLL OUT THE RAPTOR SYSTEM.

YOU MAY BE FAMILIAR WITH THE RAPTOR SYSTEM.

THAT'S THE VISITOR MANAGER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, BUT IT HAS A NUMBER OF OTHER VERY IMPORTANT CAPABILITIES THAT ALLOW US TO COMMUNICATE IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY THAT WILL BE VERY IMPORTANT FOR US AS WE CONTINUE TO GO FORWARD.

FINALLY, WE'LL MENTION THAT WE WILL BE STARTING THE DEDICATED ESPECIALLY CENTER TRANSPORTATION ROUTES.

THERE WAS A QUESTION ABOUT THE GOVERNOR SCHOOL ROUTES.

THEY WILL REMAIN UNCHANGED, WE BELIEVE THEY'VE BEEN ROUTED TO MEET ON TIME.

WE'LL KEEP A VERY CLOSE EYE ON THAT FOR THE COMING YEAR.

>> THEN AS WE MOVE FORWARD INTO ALIGNMENT WITH OUR STRATEGIC PLAN.

AGAIN, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT BOB MENTIONED JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO, THE DEVELOPMENT OF FACILITIES PLANS THAT ARE FOCUSED ON MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE INVESTING CONSISTENTLY IN OUR BUILDINGS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE AS UP TO SPEED AS WE POSSIBLY CAN.

[00:30:03]

GREAT TO BUILD NEW BUILDINGS.

WE LOVE DOING THAT, AND WE SHOULD DO THAT AS OFTEN AS WE CAN.

BUT THAT'S NOT THE CASE THROUGHOUT EVERY SINGLE SCHOOL IN THE DIVISION.

WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THE WORK WE'RE DOING IS GOING TO ENSURE THAT THE BUILDINGS THAT WE HAVE ARE AS HE AND WELL DEVELOPED AS WE POSSIBLY CAN BE.

WE'LL ALSO CONTINUE THE PLAN TO DEVELOP THE BALLISTIC FILM INSTALLATION THROUGHOUT THE DIVISION.

AGAIN, IT'S ANOTHER SAFETY AND SECURITY ISSUE AS WELL.

THEN FINALLY, WOULD JUST MENTION THAT WE WILL BE WORKING WITH THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OFFICE TO DEVELOP A VISION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THAT AGENCY AS A FULL DIVISION DEPARTMENT, WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH YOUR STRATEGIC PLAN.

BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE BEFORE I TURN IT OVER TO DR. MILLER.

>> MR. PRONTO.

>> THANK YOU. MADAM CHAIR, CAN WE GO BACK TO SLIDE 25, PLEASE.

FOR MY COLLEAGUES AND EVERYONE PRESENT.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND DR. MILLER AND I DO NOT SHARE THE SAME SUIT.

[BACKGROUND] HE HAS HIS OWN AND I HAVE MY OWN.

I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THAT IN CASE SOMEBODY WAS THINKING THAT.

HE'S GOT GOOD TASTE, OBVIOUSLY, SO THAT'S A GOOD THING, BUT WE DO NOT SHARE THE SAME SUIT AND WELCOME TO THE TEAM.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. I THINK WE CAN ALSO DO YOU BOTH GREAT.

[LAUGHTER] [BACKGROUND]

>> GOOD AFTERNOON. THIS YEAR, THE DIVISION OF SCHOOL LEADERSHIP AND STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES HAS MADE SIGNIFICANT STRIDES TO EXPAND OPPORTUNITIES, STRENGTHEN COLLABORATION, AND BETTER SUPPORT STUDENTS ACROSS THE DIVISION.

WE EXPANDED OUR PRE-K INCLUSION CLASSROOMS BY TRANSITIONING SEVEN CLASSROOMS TO THE INCLUSION MODEL AT SCL, EVERGREEN, GREENFIELD, AND HENNING, ENSURING MORE OF OUR YOUNGEST LEARNERS ARE PREPARED FOR KINDERGARTEN AND BEYOND.

ACCESS TO RIGOROUS ACADEMIC ALSO GROUP WITH MORE STUDENTS ENROLLED IN HONORS, AP, DUAL ENROLLMENT, AND IB COURSES.

SCHOOL COUNSELORS HAVE BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN GUIDING STUDENTS TO CHALLENGE THEMSELVES ACADEMICALLY AND PREPARE FOR SUCCESS IN COLLEGE AND CAREERS.

OUR CHESTERFIELD RECOVERY ACADEMY CONTINUES TO MEET A GROWING NEED ACROSS CENTRAL, VIRGINIA.

LAUNCHED IN 2022 WITH 12 STUDENTS, THE PROGRAM SUPPORTED 28 STUDENTS THIS PAST YEAR, HELPING STUDENTS FACING UNIQUE CHALLENGES SUCCEED ACADEMICALLY AND PERSONALLY.

OUR DIVISION ALSO RECEIVED SEVERAL STATEWIDE RECOGNITIONS FOR EXCELLENCE.

COSBY HIGH SCHOOL EARNED THE 2024 25 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION HIGHEST ACHIEVEMENT AWARD, WHILE JAMES RIVER AND THOMAS DALE HIGH SCHOOLS RECEIVED THE BOARD OF EDUCATION CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT AWARD.

THESE HONORS REFLECT THE DEDICATION OF OUR TEACHERS, LEADERS, AND STUDENTS.

IN ADDITION, THIS PAST SCHOOL YEAR, WE COMPLETED PROJECT ADAMS HEART SAFE SCHOOLS INITIATIVE AND FIVE ADDITIONAL HIGH SCHOOLS AND EXPANDED THE PROGRAM TO MIDDLE AND ELEMENTARY, STRENGTHENING OUR COMMITMENT TO STUDENT HEALTH AND SAFETY ACROSS THE DIVISION.

TO SUPPORT CRITICAL STUDENT SERVICES, WE EXPANDED OUR INTERNSHIP PROGRAM HOSTING SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGY, PRACTICUM STUDENTS, AND DEEPENING PARTNERSHIPS WITH VIRGINIA GRADUATE PROGRAMS, HELPING TO BUILD A SUSTAINABLE PIPELINE FOR THESE VITAL POSITIONS.

AS WE CONTINUE TO ADDRESS CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM, OUR ATTENDANCE INTERVENTION SPECIALIST WORKED INTENSIVELY WITH SCHOOLS EXPERIENCING HIGH ABSENTEE RATES, ENSURING MORE STUDENTS ARE IN SCHOOL AND LEARNING EACH DAY.

THIS YEAR, WE PARTNER WITH SCHOOLS AND CENTRAL OFFICE TEAMS TO NAVIGATE VIRGINIA'S NEW ACCOUNTABILITY PROCESS.

ALWAYS FOCUSED ON CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT SO EVERY SCHOOL MOVES FORWARD NO MATTER WHERE THEY START.

WE STRENGTHEN THIS WORK BY ALIGNING OUR SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT PROCESS WITH THE FOUR DOMAINS OF THE VIRGINIA SUPPORT FRAMEWORK, GIVING US A CLEAR CONSISTENT APPROACH ACROSS THE DIVISION.

OUR SCHOOL QUALITY SUPPORT SPECIALIST, COACH ONE SCHOOLS, ZEROING IN CLOSELY ON DATA, INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICES, AND LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT TO DRIVE STRONGER TEACHING AND LEARNING.

EXPANDED LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES THIS SUMMER REACH THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS THIS SUMMER WITH NEARLY 7,000 STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN SUMMER SCHOOL AND OVER 1,300 STUDENTS JOINING ENRICHMENT CAMPS.

WE PROBABLY CELEBRATED 90 STUDENTS AT OUR SUMMER GRADUATION CEREMONY AND A TOTAL OF 116 STUDENTS EARN THEIR DIPLOMAS THROUGH EXTENDED LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES.

THESE RESULTS SHOW THE POWER OF WHAT WE CAN ACCOMPLISH TOGETHER, EDUCATORS, LEADERS, AND PARTNERS WHEN WE STAY FOCUSED ON IMPROVING OUTCOMES FOR EVERY STUDENT WE SERVE.

AS WE BEGIN THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR, THE DIVISION OF SCHOOL LEADERSHIP AND STUDENT SUPPORT

[00:35:02]

IS FOCUSED ON PRIORITIES THAT STRENGTHEN SAFETY, ACCESS, AND SUCCESS FOR EVERY STUDENT.

WE'RE PARTNERING WITH SAFETY AND SECURITY TO FULLY IMPLEMENT WEAPONS DETECTION SYSTEMS IN ALL OUR MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOLS.

WE ARE ALSO EXPANDING EARLY CHILDHOOD ACCESS BY TRANSITIONING MORE PRE-K CLASSROOMS TO THE INCLUSION MODEL, INCLUDING OUR VERY FIRST PRE-K 3-YEAR-OLD CLASSROOM AT SCL THIS UPCOMING SCHOOL YEAR.

IN COLLABORATION WITH TEACHING AND LEARNING, WE'LL BUILDING TEACHER AND LEADER CAPACITY TO IMPLEMENT UPDATED MATH, LITERACY, AND HISTORY STANDARDS WITH CONSISTENCY AND QUALITY.

OUR NEW ATTENDANCE HUB WILL EQUIP SCHOOLS WITH THE DATA, STRATEGIES TO REDUCE CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM, WHILE OUR SCHOOL QUALITY SUPPORT SPECIALISTS EXPAND THEIR COACHING TO EVERY SCHOOL.

WE'RE ALSO REMOVING BARRIERS TO STUDENT HEALTH AND LEARNING BY PARTNERING WITH COMMUNITIES AND SCHOOLS AND THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH TO OFFER PREVENTATIVE DENTAL CARE TO NON-ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND LAUNCHING HAZEL HEALTH TELEHEALTH SERVICES TO PROVIDE AFTER SCHOOL HOURS, MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT FOR SECONDARY STUDENTS.

HAZEL HEALTH TELEHEALTH SERVICES WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY FROM 3:00 PM - 7:00 PM.

TOGETHER, THESE INITIATIVES ARE CREATING SAFE, SUPPORTIVE AND ACADEMICALLY RIGOROUS ENVIRONMENTS THAT MEET STUDENTS TODAY AND PREPARE THEM FOR THE FUTURE.

LOOKING BEYOND THE SCHOOL YEAR, OUR WORK WILL CONTINUE TO FOCUS ON BUILDING THE SYSTEMS AND STRUCTURES THAT SUSTAIN SUCCESS OVER TIME.

WE WILL INVEST DEEPLY IN LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT AND STRENGTHEN OUR LEADERSHIP PIPELINE IN CLOSE PARTNERSHIP WITH THE OFFICE OF PROFESSIONAL LEARNING TO ENSURE EVERY SCHOOL HAS STRONG CAPABLE LEADERS.

WE'RE REIMAGINING SUMMER LEARNING TO DELIVER A ENRICHING EXPERIENCES THAT ACCELERATE GROWTH, SPORT CURIOSITY AND MAKE THE MOST OF OUR RESOURCES FOR THE GREATEST IMPACT.

THIS FORWARD THINKING WORK WILL ALLOW US TO CONTINUE MEETING THE NEEDS OF STUDENTS NOW AND IN THE YEARS TO COME, ENSURING THAT OUR DIVISION REMAINS A PLACE WHERE ALL STUDENTS CAN THRIVE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME THIS EVENING.

I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

>> I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, BUT JUST WANTED TO COMMENT ON THE PARTNERSHIP WITH THE DENTAL APPOINTMENTS THAT ARE HAPPENING I GUESS AT OUR SCHOOLS.

I THINK BELWOOD IS HAPPENING THIS WEEK AND WE ARE HERE TO HELP WITH THE VISION AND ALSO HELP WITH TEETH.

I THINK THAT'S JUST AWESOME THAT WE'RE ABLE TO HELP FOSTER THAT AND HELP OUR STUDENTS THAT WAY.

THANK YOU. I PLAN TO GO VISIT AND SEE HOW IT GOES.

[LAUGHTER]

>> NEXT, YOU'LL HEAR FROM MR. ERNIE LONGWORTH.

>> GOOD AFTERNOON, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

I APPRECIATE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE WITH YOU HIGHLIGHTS FROM TECHNOLOGY FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR AND PLANS FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR.

WE COMPLETED A FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT REORGANIZATION OF OUR HUMAN RESOURCES TO BETTER ALIGN OUR EFFORTS AND OUR OPERATIONS WITH THE GOALS AND THE STRATEGIC PLAN.

WE DEVELOPED A PLAN FOR A FISCALLY SUSTAINABLE CHROMEBOOK PROGRAM, AND I APPRECIATE ALL THE BOARD SUPPORT AND THE COLLABORATION ACROSS DIVISIONS TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

WE HAVE ALL THOSE CONTRACT IS COMPLETE.

WE HAVE THE DEVICES ON SITE AT OUR WAREHOUSE IN ASHLAND.

EVERYTHING IN THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL HAS BEEN STAGE DELIVERED.

ALL OF OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS HAVE THEIR DEVICES, AND OVER THE FIRST EIGHT DAYS OF SCHOOL, FOUR SCHOOLS AT A TIME WILL DELIVER CHROMEBOOKS TO MIDDLE SCHOOLS AND HIGH SCHOOLS.

WE'VE DEVELOPED AND IMPLEMENTED A PLAN FOR THE COLLECTION OF THE 63,500 DEVICES THAT WE OWNED.

BEING MINDFUL THAT SCHOOLS USE THEM.

THEY VALUE THEM RIGHT UP TO THE VERY LAST MINUTE OF SCHOOL AND TRYING TO MINIMIZE THE IMPACT TO ANYTHING RELATED TO INSTRUCTION.

WE STARTED THIS SCHOOL YEAR WITH PROBABLY 47 IS OPEN AUDIT ITEMS THAT SOME OF THEM HAD BEEN BEEN STANDING FOR A WHILE, WORKED CLOSELY WITH INTERNAL AUDIT TO DEVELOP A PLAN FOR THOSE THAT WE WOULD TACKLE IN SIX MONTHS, THOSE THAT WE WOULD TACKLE IN 12 MONTHS, THOSE THAT WE WOULD TACKLE IN 18 MONTHS, AND AS OF TODAY, HAVE CLOSED 18 OF THOSE OPEN OPEN AUDIT ITEMS. WE INSTALLED ALL THE TECHNOLOGY, THE PRINTING, THE PROJECTION, THE PHONES, THE SYSTEMS FOR SPRING LINE AND HELPED TO PREPARE FOR OUR MOVE OF OUR CENTRAL OFFICES.

WE COLLABORATED WITH OUR OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT, WITH ALL OF THE MEGA TRAILER PROJECTS, THE RENOVATIONS, AND THE NEW CONSTRUCTION TO HAVE ALL THAT TECHNOLOGY IMPLEMENTED AS WELL.

WE STARTED IN HIGH SCHOOL AND UPGRADED WIFI.

AS WE USE THE DEVICES MORE, WE HAVE MORE INSTRUCTIONAL APPLICATIONS, THE NEED FOR WIFI DENSITY INCREASES.

IN HIGH SCHOOL, WE'VE ESSENTIALLY DOUBLED THE WIFI DENSITY.

[00:40:04]

WE'RE STARTING TO WORK ON MIDDLE SCHOOLS IN THIS UPCOMING SCHOOL YEAR.

WE'VE IMPROVED OUR APPLICATION APPROVAL PROCESS FOR INSTRUCTIONAL APPLICATIONS, SO IT'S QUICKER, EASIER TO NAVIGATE, AND IT'S A FASTER PATH TO GETTING THOSE APPLICATIONS THAT TEACHERS REQUEST AND IN THEIR HANDS AND IN FRONT OF STUDENTS.

WE ACQUIRED SOME ADDITIONAL CONTENT FOR THEM TO USE INSTRUCTIONAL CONTENT THAT'S USED IN OUR LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, AND ALSO COMPETED FOR NEW LIBRARY DATABASES.

WE CATALOGED AND CREATED THE STARTING LIBRARY FOR DEEP CREEK.

WE INCREASED ATTENDANCE IN ON DEMAND SYNCS TUTORING.

STRIDE IS WHAT WE TRADITIONALLY REFERRED TO WHEN WE TALK THERE BY 20% RELATIVE TO THE PREVIOUS YEAR, AND WE HAVE PLANNED FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF RECORDS MANAGEMENT ACROSS THE DIVISION.

WE'VE ALSO STARTED TO INCORPORATE INTO OUR REGULAR PRACTICE AND TECHNOLOGY INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL PENETRATION TESTING.

WE STARTED THAT LAST YEAR AND WE'RE EXPANDING THAT THIS YEAR AS WELL.

NOW LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE YEAR.

HAVING ADDRESS THE CHROMEBOOK SUSTAINABILITY, WHICH IS ONE OF THE BIGGER THINGS IN OUR WORLD, PROBABLY THE NEXT THING AREA FOCUS IS AROUND STAFF LAPTOPS.

WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO TURN THOSE OVER AROUND EVERY FIVE YEARS.

OUR EXISTING FLEET IS APPROACHING AT OR BEYOND THAT FIVE YEAR MARK.

WE'RE ADDRESSING THAT THROUGH MULTIPLE MEANS, BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING IS PILOTING A NEW OPTION FOR STAFF LAPTOP THAT WE THINK STAFF WILL LIKE MEET THE INSTRUCTION AND NEED AND IS ABOUT 60% OF THE COST.

THAT ALLOW FOR SOME ACCELERATED REPLACEMENT.

THE DEVICES ARE JUST PART OF IT.

GETTING THE THE NEXT STEP AND WE'VE BEGUN THIS WORK ALREADY IS WORKING CLOSELY WITH SCHOOL LEADERSHIP, INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERSHIP, AND SCHOOLS TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS NOT ONLY FINANCIALLY SUSTAINABLE, BUT THAT WE HAVE EMBEDDED ACCOUNTABILITY AROUND CARE AND USE OF THE DEVICES, THAT THERE'S COMMUNICATION PIPELINES BETWEEN HOME AND SCHOOL AND ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES AROUND THE USE OF CHROMEBOOKS AND CARE OF CHROMEBOOKS.

THAT'S A LOT OF COORDINATION AND CULTURE BUILDING, AND WE'RE HEAVILY INTO THAT WORK RIGHT NOW.

WE INTEND TO CONTINUE TO CREATE SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENTS OF RESPONSE TIME TO TICKETS AND RESOLUTION TIME THAT ARE NOT JUST VISIBLE TO US, BUT TRANSPARENT AND VISIBLE TO EVERYBODY THAT WE SERVE.

HOLD OURSELVES ACCOUNTABLE.

CONTINUE TO UPGRADE INTERCOM AND PHONE SOLUTIONS.

WE HAVE SOME GOOD OPTIONS ON THE TABLE FOR IMPROVING OUR PHONES ACROSS SCHOOLS.

OR UPGRADING THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT ALLOWS US TO DO THAT WIRELESS DENSITY REPLACEMENT.

IT'S NOT JUST THE ACCESS POINTS.

THERE'S SOME STUFF BACKSTREAM OF THAT THAT'S REQUIRED AS WELL.

WE'VE ALREADY STARTED THAT WORK.

WE'RE INCREASING ACCOUNTABILITY AROUND OUR DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP CURRICULUM.

PART OF THAT REORGANIZATION, I KNOW DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP DOESN'T AUTOMATICALLY GET CONNECTED TO TECHNOLOGY, BUT WE MOVED THE INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGY ARM BAR DIVISION INTO TECHNOLOGY PROPER LAST YEAR.

INSTRUCTIONAL APPLICATIONS, DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP, THAT'S NOW EMBEDDED WITHIN THE TECHNOLOGY DIVISION.

WE'RE PLANNING FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION FOR STAFF AND FOR STUDENTS.

WE'LL START WITH STAFF EARLY AND WE'LL WORK INTO STUDENTS.

WE'RE COMPLETING THE INITIAL RETENTION RULES FOR DOCUMENT RETENTION AND THAT THING WILL COST THE DIVISION.

LOOKING FORWARD, AND ALIGNED WITH THE METRICS THAT WE'RE ATTACHING TO OURSELVES IN THE DIVISION OF TECHNOLOGY AND THE DIVISION STRATEGIC PLAN.

AGAIN, A FOCUS ON DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP.

>> ALSO REDUCING TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP FOR OUR ASSETS, AROUND THE ABILITY TO REPLACE AROUND A KNOWN CYCLE, INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SITES THAT ARE INSULATED FROM PHONE DOWNTIME AND INTERNET DOWNTIME, AND THEN REDUCE CYBERSECURITY VULNERABILITIES.

I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYBODY BEHIND ME, BUT I WELCOME ANY QUESTIONS.

>> MR. PRONTO.

>> THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. CAN YOU GO TO SLIDE 35, PLEASE? THE MDR.

I'M READING THIS, AND I DON'T KNOW IF I'M UNDERSTANDING IT.

TO REPLACE CCPS SECURITY ANALYST POSITIONS.

WE'RE DOING AWAY WITH PEOPLE FOR THE PROCESS OF MDR? COULD YOU EXPLAIN THAT?

>> ABSOLUTELY. WE HAD A SMALL FLEDGING INFORMATION SECURITY DEPARTMENT

[00:45:02]

THAT WAS BEGINNING TO EVOLVE UNDER PREVIOUS LEADERSHIP.

IT CONSISTED OF A DIRECTOR AND TWO CYBERSECURITY ANALYST.

OUR RECORDS RETENTION OFFICER ALSO IS WITHIN THAT DEPARTMENT.

HOWEVER, THAT'S A FOUR PERSON DEPARTMENT.

RECORDS OR RETENTION IS ACROSS LOTS OF AREAS.

THE TWO CYBERSECURITY ANALYST POSITIONS BECAME VACANT DURING THE YEAR.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE RECOGNIZED WAS THAT THAT'S A POSITION THAT'S IN DEMAND.

THE AMOUNT THAT WE'RE ABLE TO PAY THAT POSITION WAS CREATING A REVOLVING DOOR OF AS SOON AS I CAN PUT CYBERSECURITY ANALYST FOR CHESTERFIELD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN MY RESUME, I'M MARKETABLE AND ABLE TO MOVE ON.

THE CYCLE OF INVESTMENT, PROFESSIONAL EARNING, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, GROWING PEOPLE, AND THEN LEAVING.

WE BELIEVE WE'RE BETTER SERVED AS A DIVISION BY THIRD PARTY SERVICES THAT PROVIDE THAT MONITORING AND THAT RESPONSE.

THIRD PARTY SERVICES BEYOND JUST RETENTION OF PEOPLE AND THE STAFFING RESPONSIBILITY, THEY'RE WATCHING OUR ENVIRONMENT 24/7 VERSUS THE 8 HOURS A DAY.

SOME OF THEM COME WITH SKIN IN THE GAME IN THE FORM OF MONEY AND INSURANCE, SHOULD THERE BE AN INCIDENT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

AFTER CAREFUL EVALUATION, WE DETERMINED AT THIS STAGE, WE'RE BETTER SERVED BY THIRD PARTY SERVICE FOR THAT DAILY MONITORING.

>> THANK YOU FOR THAT EXPLANATION.

>> SURE.

>> THE FOLKS WHO ARE CURRENTLY OR WERE UNDER THAT UMBRELLA, HAVE THEY BEEN REPOSITIONED?

>> THEY LEFT ON THEIR OWN ACCORD.

>> CORRECT. BUT WAS THERE ANYBODY LEFT IN THAT REALM THAT'S BEEN NOW BENEFIT TO ANOTHER PART OF YOUR DEPARTMENT IS WHAT I'M ASKING?

>> WE STILL HAVE AN INFORMATION SECURITY DIRECTOR THAT IS PERFORMING POLICY LEVEL WORK AND FULFILLING THE OBLIGATIONS OF THAT POSITION.

IN OUR NETWORK SERVICES DEPARTMENT, THERE WAS SOME EMBEDDED REDUNDANCY ALREADY WITH THE ANALYST LEVEL POSITION.

THOSE RESPONSIBILITIES WHERE THEY WERE SHARED ARE NOW CONSUMED BY THE NETWORK SERVICES DEPARTMENT.

THERE ISN'T ANYTHING NOT BEING DONE OR NOT BEING WATCHED.

>> VERY GOOD. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> SURE. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> THANK YOU. WELL, I GUESS THANK YOU TO ALL THE CHIEFS AND TO DR. HIGH FOR THE PRESENTATION AND ALL OF THE WONDERFUL LOOKING BACK AND LOOKING FORWARD AS FAR AS OUR NEXT SCHOOL YEAR IS CONCERNED AND ALL THE GREAT WORK THAT OUR DEPARTMENTS ARE DOING.

I WILL JUST ASK THE BOARD MEMBERS, ANY OVERALL DISCUSSION? MRS. HEFFRON.

>> JUST TO SAY THAT I'M EXCITED FOR OUR ACHIEVEMENTS, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO WHERE WE'RE GOING BE BEYOND TOMORROW.

>> WELL, NEXT, WE HAVE ANNOUNCEMENTS AND COMMUNICATIONS AND SCHOOL BOARD COMMENTS.

[C. Announcements, Communications, and School Board Comments]

SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS, ARE THERE ANY ANNOUNCEMENTS OR COMMENTS? THE NEXT SCHOOL BOARD BUSINESS MEETING WILL BE HELD THIS EVENING, AUGUST 12, 2025, AT 6:30 PM HERE IN THE PUBLIC MEETING ROOM.
