TODAY'S AGENDA WILL INCLUDE AN OVERVIEW OF THE WORK OF THE DEPARTMENT AND ITS LEADERS, WHO OVERSEE SPECIFIC WORK THROUGH EACH OF THE OFFICES IN OUR DEPARTMENT.

WE WANTED TO CHANGE IT UP A LITTLE BIT AND PUT NAMES AND FACES TOGETHER.

SO ON THIS PICTURE, ON THIS SLIDE, YOU WILL SEE EACH COORDINATOR IN OUR DEPARTMENT.

AND SO I'M PLEASED TO INTRODUCE LAURA EARLEY WHO IS OUR COORDINATOR OF PSYCHOLOGICAL AND DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES.

OUR AWARD WINNING HEATHER SNYDER, WHO'S THE COORDINATOR OF STUDENT HEALTH SERVICES, AND DOCTOR CARMEN WATERFORD, WHO IS OUR COORDINATOR OF EQUITY. I'LL JUMP RIGHT IN AND FRAME OUR CONVERSATION FOR THIS AFTERNOON, CENTERING THE WORK OF THE OFFICE OF EQUITY. THE OFFICE OF EQUITY STRENGTHENS CCPS BY DEVELOPING LEADERS, SUPPORTING SCHOOLS AND BUILDING PARTNERSHIPS THAT HELP EMBED EQUITABLE PRACTICES ACROSS THE ENTIRE DIVISION A SYSTEMS LEADERSHIP AN APPROACH HELPS ENSURE EQUITY IS EMBEDDED WITH DECISION MAKING RATHER THAN ADDRESSED AFTER PROBLEMS EMERGE.

ANOTHER AREA OF PRIORITY IS EQUITABLE LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT IN THE ONGOING WORK WITH OUR EQUITY LEADS.

PROFESSIONAL LEARNING FOR OUR SCHOOL BASED ADMINISTRATORS, OUR PRINCIPALS,ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS AND DEANS THROUGH A VARIETY OF PROFESSIONAL LEARNING EXPERIENCES. LEADERS HAVE ACCESS TO LEARNING ON STRONGER, EQUITABLE PRACTICES AND TOOLS THAT HELP LEADERS FACILITATE NECESSARY CONVERSATIONS AND REFLECTIONS WITHIN THEIR TEAMS, AND ALSO PARTNERSHIP AND PIPELINE SECTION.

HERE I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT THE WORK OF THE OFFICE OF EQUITY ALSO SUPPORTS LONG TERM WORKFORCE AND COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS.

THIS INCLUDES, AS YOU KNOW, MAYOR ME TEACHER PIPELINE PROGRAM AND OUR PARTNERSHIPS WITH VARIOUS COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, FAMILY ENGAGEMENT EFFORTS, AND EXPANDING STUDENT OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH SCHOLARSHIPS AND CAREER EXPOSURE EXPERIENCES.

TOGETHER, THESE EFFORTS STRENGTHEN ACCESS, BELONGING, AND CONNECTION FOR ALL OF OUR STUDENTS BY STRENGTHENING THE WORK OF THE ADULTS AND THE SYSTEMS THAT SUPPORT THEM. ON THIS SLIDE, WE REALLY 0 IN ON HOW THE OFFICE OF EQUITY APPROACHES IMPACT. THIS WORK FOCUSES ON BUILDING THAT LEADERSHIP CAPACITY THAT IS SO NECESSARY, THEREBY STRENGTHENING PRACTICE AND ULTIMATELY IMPROVING THE EXPERIENCE FOR EVERY ONE OF OUR STUDENTS. BY SUPPORTING INCLUSIVE DECISION MAKING, CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE LEADERSHIP, AND INTENTIONAL USE OF DATA, THIS WORK HELPS CREATE A DEEPENED SENSE OF BELONGING FOR OUR STUDENTS, IMPROVE ACCESS TO OPPORTUNITIES, STRONGER CONNECTIONS BETWEEN STUDENTS, AND ULTIMATELY, WE'RE HOPING FOR A MORE POSITIVE SCHOOL CLIMATE ACROSS THE SCHOOL DIVISION. AT THE CORE OF ITS WORK, THE OFFICE OF EQUITY WORK IS ABOUT STRENGTHENING ADULT LEADERSHIP SO THAT EVERY STUDENT CAN EXPERIENCE THE LEVEL OF EXCELLENCE THEY DESERVE IN ORDER TO SUCCEED.

OUR NEXT SLIDE HERE IS A SNAPSHOT, ONE PICTURE OF SEVERAL SLIDES THAT WERE RECENTLY SHARED IN OUR ESL UPDATE.

AS SHARED IN THAT UPDATE, ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE IS OUR PROGRAM THAT SUPPORTS OUR STUDENTS WHO ARE ENGLISH LANGUAGE ENGLISH LEARNERS.

LS FOR SHORT. WE ARE CONTINUOUSLY STRIVING TO SUPPORT EVERY ENGLISH LEARNER ALWAYS AND IN ALL WAYS.

WE STARTED THIS SCHOOL YEAR WITH OVER 10,000 STUDENTS, WITH OVER 100 COUNTRIES AND LANGUAGES REPRESENTED ACROSS OUR SCHOOL DIVISION,

[00:05:03]

IN AN EFFORT TO BEST PREPARE THEM TO SET UP OUR ELS FOR SUCCESS, WE CHOOSE TO EMPLOY AN ASSET BASED APPROACH TO BEST SUPPORT OUR ELS. WE ARE CONTINUOUSLY STRIVING TO SUPPORT EVERY ENGLISH LEARNER ALWAYS AND IN ALL WAYS.

OUR NEXT SLIDE IS THE FIRST OF 3 THAT HIGHLIGHTS THE WORK OF SCHOOL COUNSELING AND MENTAL HEALTH.

CCPS SCHOOL COUNSELORS SERVE IN EVERY SCHOOL TO PROVIDE COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOL COUNSELING SERVICES ALIGNED WITH OUR STATE AND NATIONAL STANDARDS.

SCHOOL COUNSELORS WORK COLLABORATIVELY TO MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR STUDENTS WITHIN 3 DOMAINS OF PRACTICE ACADEMIC, SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL, AND CAREER, AND OUR COUNSELORS ALSO PROVIDE A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO SUPPORTING THE SUCCESS OF EVERY STUDENT.

THERE ARE TEAMS OF SCHOOL COUNSELORS AT EVERY SCHOOL SITE.

CURRENTLY THIS TIME OF YEAR, OUR SCHOOL COUNSELORS AT THE SECONDARY LEVEL ARE WORKING TO PREPARE PREPARATIONS FOR NEXT YEAR THROUGH SCHEDULING PROCESSES.

ACADEMIC AND CAREER PLANNING STARTING AT GRADE 5 AND PREPARING STUDENTS TO TRANSITION TO THE NEXT GRADE.

SCHOOL COUNSELORS TAKE AN ACTIVE ROLE IN CONNECTING STUDENTS WITH FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES LIKE SPECIALTY CENTERS, TECH CENTERS, GOVERNOR SCHOOLS, WHICH I HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT ONE OF THOSE TODAY, MAGGIE WALKER AND COUNTLESS PROGRAMS. THEY DO THIS ALL WHILE SUPPORTING THE SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL GROWTH OF STUDENTS AND COMMUNITIES.

THERE ARE MANY OTHER SERVICES UNDER THE SCHOOL COUNSELING UMBRELLA, AND 2 EXAMPLES SHOWN HERE THAT ALSO HIGHLIGHT THE IMPORTANT WORK OF THIS OFFICE AND TEAM ARE MAINTAINING STUDENT RECORDS AND ALSO THE WORK OF HOME INSTRUCTION.

WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THE BOARD'S APPROVAL OF AN ADDITIONAL POSITION IN THIS OFFICE TO CARRY ON THIS IMPORTANT WORK.

OUR NEXT SLIDE HERE REALLY HIGHLIGHTS THE WORK AND THE IMPORTANCE OF OUR DIVISION LEVEL MENTAL HEALTH TEAM, WHICH WORKS TO BUILD CAPACITY AND TRAINING TO ALL SCHOOLS, AS WELL AS PROVIDE DIRECT CRISIS RESPONSE AND REAL TIME SUPPORT FOR SCHOOLS.

OUR MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT SPECIALISTS ALSO CALLED MHSS FOR SHORT WORK IN FEEDER PATTERNS TO SUPPORT COMMUNITIES AND BUILD PARTNERSHIPS TO SUPPORT FAMILIES IN CRISIS AND OVERALL WELLNESS.

EACH MEMBER WORKS COLLABORATIVELY WITH SCHOOL TEAMS TO SUPPORT THE SPECIFIC NEEDS IN EACH BUILDING, OFTEN PROVIDING CONSULTATION AND RESPONSIVENESS IN THEIR SERVICE.

THE TEAM HAS WORKED HARD TO EXCEED THE NEW TRAINING REQUIREMENTS SET BY THE STATE TO TRAIN ALL THREAT ASSESSMENT TEAM MEMBERS, AND AS WELL AS DEVELOP VALUABLE PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL AGENCIES TO SUPPORT STUDENTS AND FAMILIES.

OUR MENTAL HEALTH INTERVENTIONIST, WHICH IS A DIFFERENT POSITION, SUPPORTS SAFETY AROUND THE CLOCK DAYS AND NIGHTS, INCLUDING WEEKENDS, SNOW DAYS, HOLIDAYS AND SO FORTH.

THIS TEAM WORKS COLLABORATIVELY WITH SCHOOL TEAMS, OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT AND CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES TO SUPPORT THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY.

I DO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT OUR A RECENT EVENT, THE SPRING INTO WELLNESS EVENT HELD LAST THURSDAY, APRIL 9TH AT FALLING CREEK MIDDLE SCHOOL. AS THE WHOLE SCHOOL.

AS YOU KNOW, THIS IS AN ANNUAL OPPORTUNITY FOR RESOURCES TO BE SHOWCASED AND MANY LOCAL AGENCIES AND OTHER ENTITIES ARE REPRESENTED AT THIS EVENT. FINALLY, HERE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SLIDE, WE CAPTURE SEVERAL HIGHLIGHTS FOR SCHOOL COUNSELING AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, FROM THREAT ASSESSMENT TRAINING TO PROGRAMING TO NOTICING THE SIGNS OF SUICIDE TO COUGHING CONVERSATION TOPICS. THE WORK IS BROAD AND WIDE. THIS FINAL SLIDE FOR SCHOOL COUNSELING AND MENTAL HEALTH FUNCTIONS AND COLLABORATIONS REALLY SHOWCASES THE WORK OF THE TEAM FOR THE OFFICE OF SCHOOL COUNSELING.

AS SHOWN, THE TEAM HAS A BROAD REACH IN SOME OTHER AREAS TO SUPPORT OUR COMMUNITY'S EXTENSIVE PARTNERSHIPS AND COLLABORATIONS ARE VITAL AND KEY COMPONENTS TO THIS TEAM AND OFFICE. WE WORK DILIGENTLY TO CREATE CONNECTIONS THAT SUPPORT OUR PROSPECTIVE JOB FORCE,

[00:10:02]

OUR OFFICES WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT OF EQUITY AND STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES WORK TOGETHER TO PROVIDE EXPANDED TRAINING AND CONSTANTLY IMPROVE OUR PRACTICES AND PROCEDURES TO MEET THE NEEDS OF ALL OF OUR STUDENTS.

WE OFTEN FIND OURSELVES PARTICIPATING IN RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES AND ADVISORIES THAT ALSO CONNECT AND LINK OUR WORK.

THIS NEXT SLIDE HIGHLIGHTS THE WORK THE IMPORTANT WORK OF OUR SCHOOL SOCIAL WORK TEAM.

THE COORDINATOR OVERSEES SCHOOL WORK, SOCIAL WORK SERVICES.

THE MCKINNEY-VENTO GRANT FOSTERING CONNECTIONS AND ATTENDANCE INITIATIVES ACROSS OUR SCHOOL DIVISION, 34 SCHOOL BASED SOCIAL WORKERS HAVE COMPLETED NEARLY 1400 SOCIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENTS, PARTICIPATED IN OVER 700 SCHOOL ATTENDANCE TEAM MEETINGS, AND PROVIDED MORE THAN 3000 DIRECT SOCIAL EMOTIONAL SUPPORTS TO STUDENTS.

THE ATTENDANCE TEAM PLAYS A CRITICAL ROLE WITH 2 ASSISTANTS.

I'M SORRY, ATTENDANCE SOCIAL WORKERS DEDICATING ALMOST 65% OF THEIR TIME TO INTENSE CASE MANAGEMENT, INCLUDING HOME VISITS FOR STUDENTS WITH THE MOST SIGNIFICANT NEEDS.

ADDITIONALLY, WE'RE GRATEFUL FOR THE NINE ATTENDANCE INTERVENTION SPECIALISTS WHO HAVE DELIVERED OVER 2500 TIER TWO AND TIER 3 INTERVENTIONS FOR CHRONICALLY ABSENT STUDENTS.

TO FURTHER SUPPORT OUR SCHOOLS, THE TEAM DEVELOPED AN ATTENDANCE HUB.

THAT'S ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS FOR THIS YEAR. IT'S AN INTERNAL RESOURCE GUIDE FEATURING STRATEGIES, INTERVENTIONS AND AN ATTENDANCE MANUAL TO SUPPORT SCHOOLS IN MITIGATING CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM.

THIS NEXT SLIDE CONTINUES TO HIGHLIGHT THE WORK OF SCHOOL SOCIAL WORKERS.

THE TEAM IS INSTRUMENTAL IN FOSTERING COLLABORATION, ENHANCING STUDENT ENGAGEMENT, PROMOTING STUDENT WELLBEING, PROVIDING CRISIS INTERVENTION, LEADING DATA, INFORMED ATTENDANCE INTERVENTIONS, AND IMPLEMENTING, IMPLEMENTING AND MONITORING EVIDENCE BASED STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM.

WE'LL NOW JUMP TO THE WORK OF OUR SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGIST AND EDUCATIONAL DIAGNOSTICIANS.

BOTH ARE SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGISTS AND DIAGNOSTICIANS ARE VITAL MEMBERS OF OUR SCHOOL BASED TEAMS AS THEY PROMOTE EFFECTIVE HOME SCHOOL COLLABORATION AND WRAPAROUND SERVICES FOR OUR STUDENTS. WHEN APPROPRIATE, PSYCHOLOGISTS ALSO COLLABORATE WITH OTHER COMMUNITY PROVIDERS TO COORDINATE MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES FOR OUR STUDENTS, AS NOTED HERE.

THE. OUR PSYCHOLOGISTS CONDUCT COGNITIVE ASSESSMENTS AND EDUCATIONAL DIAGNOSTICIANS ARE KEY PLAYERS FOR EDUCATIONAL ASSESSMENTS.

SOMETIMES PEOPLE WONDER WHAT IS THE DISTINGUISHING FACTOR.

WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THE INCLUSION OF ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSTICIANS IN THE UPCOMING BUDGET SO THAT OUR EXPERTISE CAN OF THE EDUCATIONAL DIAGNOSTICIANS CAN BE EMPLOYED MORE PROACTIVELY IN HELPING SCHOOL TEAMS SHOW UP TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS IN THE BEST MANNER.

THIS SLIDE HIGHLIGHTS OUR CURRENT STAFFING MODEL AND THE PSYCHOLOGISTS AND DIAGNOSTICIANS WHO ARE CURRENTLY SERVING TO MEET THE NEEDS ACROSS THE DIVISION. AS AN IMPORTANT HIGHLIGHT, THE OPPORTUNITY TO HOST GRADUATE STUDENTS AS INTERNS AND PRACTICUM STUDENTS HAS PROVEN TO BE AN EFFECTIVE PIPELINE FOR RECRUITMENT OF HIGHLY QUALIFIED SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGISTS.

IN ADDITION TO WHAT IS NOTED HERE ON THE FAR RIGHT FOR INTERNS FOR THIS YEAR AND OUR PLAN FOR NEXT YEAR, ANOTHER NOTEWORTHY HIGHLIGHT IS ONE OF OUR BILINGUAL PRACTICUM STUDENTS FROM 25-26, WHICH IS THIS YEAR, HAS BEEN HIRED AS AN INTERN FOR NEXT YEAR. AND 1 OF OUR BILINGUAL INTERNS FROM THIS SCHOOL YEAR HAS BEEN HIRED AS A SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGIST FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR. HERE WE SHIFT TO STUDENT HEALTH SERVICES AND WE SEE ON THIS SLIDE A LOT OF NUMBERS.

AND THESE NUMBERS TELL A STORY. WE LOOK AT THIS SNAPSHOT AND WE CAN SEE THAT OUR SCHOOL STUDENT HEALTH SERVICES TEAM HAS BEEN

[00:15:08]

WE ARE PROUD OF THE CARE AND EXPERTISE SHOWN BY OUR TEAM.

RECOGNIZING THEIR WORK IS SO MUCH MORE THAN BAND-AIDS AND ICE, AND ARE PROUD OF THE 31 SCHOOLS WHO HAVE RECEIVED THE PROJECT.

ADAM HART SAFE SCHOOLS DESIGNATION. OUR SCHOOL TEAMS ARE REALLY PROUD OF THE WAYS IN WHICH THE CLINICS, WHETHER IT'S VACCINATIONS, VISION OR HEARING, ARE PLAYED OUT AT THE SCHOOLS.

AND THESE NUMBERS DO TELL A STORY OF ACCESS AND IMPACT ACROSS THE DIVISION.

SOME SPECIFIC HIGHLIGHTS IN STUDENT HEALTH SERVICES, AS I BEGIN TO WRAP UP HERE REALLY INCLUDE A FOCUS ON DENTAL CLINICS.

AND SO THIS WAS SOMETHING NEW FOR US THIS YEAR AT 15 OF OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.

WE'RE GRATEFUL FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY AND PARTNERSHIP WITH VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH.

WE ALSO ARE GRATEFUL FOR 2 OPPORTUNITIES FOR GRANT FUNDED TEMPORARY WORK ASSIGNMENT POSITIONS TO HELP WITH THE ESL WELCOME CENTER, AS WELL AS IMMUNIZATION SUPPORT ON OUR NURSING TEAM.

AS I WRAP UP HERE. HOPEFULLY THIS UPDATE HAS PROVIDED SOME NEW INFORMATION ABOUT HOW OUR DEPARTMENT OF EQUITY AND STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES NOT JUST EXIST, BUT REALLY IS INTENTIONAL ABOUT SHOWING UP FOR OUR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES.

THE WORK OF DEPARTMENT OF EQUITY AND STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES REALLY IS TO CHAMPION INCLUSIVITY AND BELONGING.

PRIORITIZE WELLNESS BRIDGE THE GAPS, FOSTER RELATIONSHIPS, CULTIVATE PARTNERSHIPS, AND ULTIMATELY EMPOWER OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITIES. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THIS UPDATE.

I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU, DOCTOR SPURLOCK.

BOARD MEMBERS, IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? OKAY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. WE APPRECIATE IT, MADAM CHAIR.

SORRY, I DIDN'T SEE IT. MRS CHATTERS. AND I APOLOGIZE, MISS CHATTERS.

THANK YOU, MR. PARANTO AND MADAM CHAIR. FIRST, I JUST WANT TO SAY A SHOUT OUT FOR SOURCES OF STRENGTH.

MY OLDEST CHILD WENT THROUGH SOURCES OF STRENGTH, AND IT OPENED HIS EYES TO HOW HE CAN HELP HIS PEERS.

IT GAVE HIM CONFIDENCE AND IT GAVE HIM THE OPPORTUNITY TO TO HELP IN A WAY THAT HE DIDN'T KNOW HE COULD HELP.

SO I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT PROGRAM. THE OTHER, THE NEXT 2 OR 3 THINGS, THE EQUITY LEAD ROLE.

CAN YOU TELL US WHAT THE JOB IS OF THE EQUITY LEAD AT OUR SCHOOLS? YES. SO WE ARE GRATEFUL TO SAY THAT EVERY SCHOOL HAS EQUITY LEADS.

SOME SCHOOLS HAVE TWO DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF THE SCHOOL, AND THEY ULTIMATELY SUPPORT THE PRINCIPAL, THE ADMINISTRATIVE TEAM, OUR SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT TEAMS TO MAKE SURE THAT ACCESS, BELONGING AND CONNECTION ARE HAPPENING, NOT JUST AT A SURFACE LEVEL. A LOT OF TIMES IT COULD BE 1 TO 1 CONSULT WITH A COLLEAGUE.

IT COULD BE THAT THE EQUITY LEAD SHOWS UP. IF THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO ATTEND THE SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT TEAM MEETINGS, THEY MAY HAVE A PRE MEETING OR A POST MEETING WITH PART OF THAT TEAM.

ONE OF THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE CONSTANTLY LEANING INTO OPPORTUNITIES FOR PROFESSIONAL LEARNING.

DOCTOR WATERFORD HAS ONGOING PROFESSIONAL LEARNING AND THIS YEAR HAS TAKEN A DIFFERENT STANCE IN PROVIDING IT IN A DIFFERENTIATED WAY TO ENSURE THAT EACH SCHOOL GETS WHAT THEY NEED. SO THERE'S SOME FOUNDATIONAL THINGS. AND I MENTIONED THOSE LIKE THE ABCS OF EQUITY.

IT'S THEIR JOB TO UNDERSTAND THAT WORK AND TO KNOW IT DEEPLY, AND THEN TO SHOW UP AT THEIR SCHOOL, THEIR RESPECTIVE SCHOOLS, MEETING THE SPECIFIC NEEDS, WHETHER IT'S UNPACKING DISCIPLINE DATA, FINDING WAYS THAT WE CAN REALLY AUTHENTICALLY HEAR STUDENT VOICE AND ANYTHING THAT CAN POSITIVELY IMPACT THE CLIMATE AND CULTURE OF THEIR SCHOOLS.

SO THE LAST QUESTION RELATED TO THAT WOULD JUST BE, IS THERE SOME METRIC THAT WE CAN SEE TO SEE HOW WELL OUR SCHOOLS ARE PERFORMING AS FAR AS THEIR EQUITY IS IN THEIR SCHOOLS? YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? LIKE, IF THERE'S HOW DO WE MEASURE SUCCESS FOR OUR EQUITY LEADS AND HOW IT'S HOW IT'S IMPACTING OUR SCHOOLS? IT'S A GREAT QUESTION. AS A STANDALONE MEASUREMENT OR METRIC.

[00:20:01]

I CAN SPEAK A LITTLE BIT FROM MY FORMER ROLE AS A LEADERSHIP DIRECTOR AND MEETING WITH PRINCIPALS AND PRINCIPAL ADMINISTRATIVE TEAMS, REALLY LOOKING AT CLIENT SURVEY DATA, LOOKING AT JUST SOME SPECIFIC AUTHENTIC FEEDBACK THAT YOU MIGHT GET FROM PARENTS AND FROM STUDENTS. AND SO RIGHT NOW I SAY THERE ARE MULTIPLE OPPORTUNITIES FOR US TO LOOK AT QUALITATIVE DATA.

A LOT OF TIMES THE WORK OF EQUITY IS ABOUT TELLING THE STORY OF THE STUDENT EXPERIENCE.

AND ONCE WE'VE HEARD THAT, HOW DO WE THEN CHALLENGE OURSELVES TO DO BETTER, TO MAKE SURE IT IS AN EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE? THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. MR. PARANTO THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT PRESENTATION. I DO HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS FOR YOU.

1 IS THE PURPLE ROSE YOU HAVE ON YOUR JACKET.

DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER ONE BY CHANCE? SHAWN SMITH SAID HE WANTED ONE.

[LAUGHTER] THAT'S OKAY, THAT'S OKAY. I'LL PAY FOR THAT LATER, I'M SURE.

SHAUN. SHAWN. OH, HE. OH, HE LOANED IT. HE LOANED IT.

ON ON. IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, ON PAGE 10, SLIDE 10 YOU TALK ABOUT THE 2 ATTENDANTS, SOCIAL WORKERS DEDICATED 63% OF THEIR TIME TO TIER 3 CASE MANAGEMENT. SO THE OTHER 37%, COULD YOU JUST GO INTO A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT THAT PARTICULAR ROLE IS PRIMARILY DESIGNED FOR. AND THEN WITH THE 63%, I JUST WANT TO HAVE A SPOTLIGHT ON THIS BECAUSE I THINK IT'S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT NUMBER IS HIGHLIGHTED FOR A REASON.

I JUST WANT TO DIVE A LITTLE BIT DEEPER INTO THAT TO UNDERSTAND STRAIN MIGHT BE THE WRONG WORD.

BUT JUST THE OVERALL COMPLEXITY OF THAT ROLE.

THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION. YES, THOSE POSITIONS CAME FROM A PLACE DEFINITELY OF NEED AND SOME DEDICATED ATTENTION TO ATTENDANCE.

AND SO THE OTHER, YOU SAID ABOUT 37% OF THE TIME COULD BE BETWEEN SCHOOL SPECIFIC NEEDS HOME VISITS AND ALSO TIME THAT IS SPENT PERHAPS EVEN IN COURT AND SUPPORTING ATTENDANCE.

AND SO WE DO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THOSE 2 ATTENDANCE SOCIAL WORKERS TO ALSO MEET REGULARLY WITH THE NINE INTERVENTION ATTENDANCE INTERVENTION SPECIALISTS. SO THEY'RE INVOLVED IN THOSE MEETINGS.

AND SO IT COULD BE A VARIETY OF THINGS. BUT IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING MORE DEFINITIVE, I CAN ALSO FOLLOW UP WITH YOU TO SEE WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.

YEAH. NO, AND I APPRECIATE THAT. IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, THIS BOARD HAS STRUCTURED ITSELF ON, ON MANY FRONTS AND ONE OF THEM BEING ATTENDANCE.

SO THAT WE CAN HAVE KIDS IN SCHOOL, THEY'RE RECEIVING AN EDUCATION.

AND THAT TRUANCY, YOU KNOW, IS NOT AS BIG OF A PROBLEM IN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY AS IT ONCE WAS IN YEARS PAST.

AND SO HAVING STATS LIKE THIS, I THINK IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT GOES TO SHOW WHEN WE RECOGNIZE IT.

AND THEN 2, HERE'S WHAT WE'RE DOING ABOUT IT.

AND I THINK THE MORE, THE MORE OPPORTUNITIES WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT IT AND CHAMPION THAT SO THAT THE COMMUNITY UNDERSTANDS, YES, THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM FACING A LOT OF OUR STUDENTS.

AND HERE'S HOW WE'RE RESPONDING TO THAT. SO I GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR DEPARTMENT BEING THE ONE TO CHAMPION THAT AND HEAD THAT UP.

AND THEN LASTLY ON PAGE OR EXCUSE ME, SLIDE 13.

YOU HAD MENTIONED ABOUT HIRING OR WE HIRED CCPS HIRED ONE OF OUR INTERNS THAT CAME FROM WAS A CCPS STUDENT AT ONE POINT IN TIME, WENT TO COLLEGE, BECAME OUR INTERN, AND NOW WE'RE HIRING THEM.

WHAT A GREAT PATHWAY FOR OUR STUDENTS TO GET INVOLVED TO, TO GIVE BACK AND THEN GET BACK INTO THE SCHOOL SYSTEM WITH THEIR PASSION.

SO I'M NOT SURE WHO RECOGNIZED THAT, BUT KUDOS TO WHOEVER THAT IS YOUR DEPARTMENT HR COLLABORATION OF THE 2.

I THINK THAT'S A GREAT PIPELINE THAT HOPEFULLY WE ARE ABLE TO ROBUST THAT EVEN MORE AS WE CONTINUE FURTHER.

SO THANK YOU FOR HIGHLIGHTING THAT. THANK YOU FOR NOTICING. I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION.

IS THAT IT? SORRY. OKAY. MISS COKER, YOU HAD TURNED YOUR HEAD.

I DID. THANK YOU, DOCTOR SPURLOCK, FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.

I JUST HAVE ONE QUICK QUESTION. KIND OF PIGGYBACKING OFF OF THE ABSENTEEISM.

YOU MENTIONED ON SLIDE 10 THAT THERE'S 2 TIERS, TIER 2 AND TIER 3.

CAN YOU ELABORATE A LITTLE BIT ON THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THOSE 2 TIERS? RIGHT. SO WHEN WE SPEAK OF TIERS WE HAVE TO ALSO MAKE SURE WE CHALLENGE OURSELVES AS EDUCATORS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE REALLY CLEAR WITH THAT.

SO TIER 1, TO PUT IT IN FULL CONTEXT WOULD BE INTERVENTIONS AND WHAT'S IN PLACE FOR ALL STUDENTS.

HOW, HOW WE SUPPORT ALL STUDENTS AND MAKING SURE THAT THEY'RE PRESENT AND TIERED, EACH OF THE OTHER TIERS GETS A LITTLE BIT MORE

[00:25:03]

YOU HAVE SOME STANDARD THINGS THAT WE WOULD EXPECT TO SEE IN A PLAN.

WHO'S NOTICING? WHO'S CONNECTING WITH THE STUDENT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY FEEL INVITED AND EXPECTED TO SHOW UP AT SCHOOL? AND SO THAT COULD LOOK LIKE AN ADMINISTRATOR, A SPECIFIC TEACHER OR AUXILIARY STAFF.

THAT WOULD BE AN EXAMPLE, FOR INSTANCE, OF SOMETHING FOR TIER 3.

IF WE'RE NOT SEEING ANY IMPROVEMENT IN ATTENDANCE, IT COULD LEAD TO A NEED FOR TIER 3 INTERVENTIONS.

AND SO IN ADDITION TO AN ATTENDANCE PLAN, WE ALSO MIGHT HAVE MORE FREQUENT CHECK INS, ALSO HOME VISITS.

WE REALLY WANT TO INVITE THE PARENTS TO BE PARTNERS IN THIS, BECAUSE I KNOW IT HAS BEEN SAID IN MANY DIFFERENT SPACES THAT REALLY THE ATTENDANCE AS MUCH AS SCHOOL IS REACHING OUT, IT REALLY IS ABOUT PARTNERING WITH OUR PARENTS TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SHOWING UP AND THAT THEY KNOW WE WANT THEM IN SCHOOL. YES. THANK YOU. YES I DID. IT'S NOT JUST THE STUDENT, IT'S IT'S THE PARENTS AND THE THE FAMILY MEMBERS THAT ARE SUPPORTING THEM.

SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR WORK.

OKAY. I HAVE 1 SMALL QUESTION. ON PAGE OR SLIDE S7.

WE HAVE THE HOME INSTRUCTION LITTLE PIECE. AND WE REFERENCE 33% INCREASE IN HOME SCHOOL STUDENTS SINCE COVID.

I JUST WONDERED, I KNEW THAT THERE WAS A LARGE INCREASE, BUT I WASN'T SURE IF IT HAVE WE SEEN IT LEVEL OFF? DID IT DIP BACK DOWN? LIKE, WHAT'S THAT LINE? YOU MAY NOT KNOW THIS. I'M JUST CURIOUS. I'D BE HAPPY TO FOLLOW UP WITH THAT.

IT'S A GREAT QUESTION. BUT WE DID WANT TO NOTE, TO PUT IT IN CONTEXT, THE REASON WHY WE HAVE THE NUMBERS OF STUDENTS WHO ARE RECEIVING HOME INSTRUCTION. AND SO WHAT I HAVE SEEN AND JUST ABOUT JUST UNDER A YEAR AND A HALF OF BEING IN THIS ROLE, THAT THE NUMBER HAS NOT TAKEN A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE OR DIP SINCE LAST YEAR.

OKAY. AND SO THERE'S DEFINITELY A NEED FOR THAT ROLE, HAVING RECENTLY HAD OUR HOME INSTRUCTION AUDIT.

THERE WERE SOME GREAT QUESTIONS THAT CAME OUT OF THAT, THAT REALLY CHALLENGE US TO JUST MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DOING THE BEST JOB.

WE HAVE A WONDERFUL SPECIALIST WHO'S BEEN IN THE ROLE AND MONITORING THAT.

AND SHE CAN SPEAK DIRECTLY TO THE VOLUME THAT SHE'S SEEN THAT INCREASED SINCE COVID.

SO I'D BE HAPPY TO FOLLOW UP. SO YOU CAN REALLY SEE A NUMBERS TRAIL.

THAT'S WHAT YOU LIKE KNOW. YEAH. THANK YOU SO MUCH, I APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK. MADAM CHAIR, WOULD IT BE HELPFUL IF WE PROVIDE LIKE A NUMERICAL VALUE FROM 2020-21 SCHOOL YEAR? EACH YEAR UP TO THIS ONE.

IT WOULD. OKAY. YEAH. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. SORRY FOR THE HOMEWORK.

PERFECT. SORRY. GOT IT. THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. NEXT WE HAVE AN UPDATE FROM ON MATH PATHWAYS FROM DOCTOR STAINS.

[C. Math Pathways Update]

I AM DOCTOR EMILY STAINS, DIRECTOR OF SECONDARY CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT AND SUPPORT.

I'M PLEASED TO BE HERE TODAY TO PROVIDE A COMPREHENSIVE MATHEMATICS UPDATE AND UPDATE YOU ON OUR PROGRESS.

AFTER TWO YEARS OF IMPLEMENTING THE NEW CCPS MATH PATHWAYS.

WHILE I AM PRESENTING THIS EVENING, I WANT TO RECOGNIZE THE DYNAMIC LEADERSHIP OF OUR DIVISION'S MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM TEAM HERE WITH OUR HERE WITH US TONIGHT, DOCTOR DEANNA MOREAU, WHO SUPPORTS ELEMENTARY.

JILL MILLER, WHO SUPPORTS MIDDLE SCHOOL. STEPHANIE BURTON, WHO SUPPORTS MIDDLE SCHOOL INTERVENTION, AND STEPHANIE LYON, WHO SUPPORTS HIGH SCHOOL.

WE LAST PROVIDED A MATH PATHWAYS UPDATE TO THE SCHOOL BOARD ON MAY 12TH, 2025.

THE TOPICS I'LL PRESENT TO YOU TODAY ARE LISTED HERE FOR YOUR REVIEW.

THIS BOARD ADOPTED A NEW ON GRADE LEVEL MATH PATHWAY IN 2024.

BY OFFERING BOTH ON GRADE LEVEL AND ACCELERATED OPTIONS, WE GIVE FAMILIES THE FLEXIBILITY TO CHOOSE THE MATH PATHWAY THAT BEST MEETS THEIR CHILD'S NEEDS EACH YEAR. IMPORTANTLY, ALL CCPS STUDENTS CONTINUE TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO REACH ALGEBRA ONE IN MIDDLE SCHOOL.

[00:30:02]

WE HAVE ALSO UPDATED THE CSPS WEBSITE AND THE PROGRAM OF STUDIES TO REFLECT THESE CHANGES, INCLUDING CLEAR INFORMATION ABOUT WHICH SPECIALTY CENTERS REQUIRE ALGEBRA ONE PRIOR TO ENROLLMENT.

NOW LET'S TAKE A LOOK BACK ON OUR SECOND YEAR OF IMPLEMENTATION.

THIS SLIDE SHOWS OUR ENROLLMENT DATA FROM 2024 THROUGH 2026, ALONG WITH OUR PROJECTED ENROLLMENT FOR 2026 THROUGH 2027.

HERE ARE A FEW IMPORTANT POINTS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN REVIEWING THIS DATA.

FIRST, MATH 8 WAS NOT AVAILABLE IN 2024-25 DUE TO THE DIVISION'S PREVIOUS MATH SEQUENCING.

LOOKING AHEAD TO 2026-27, WE SEE PROJECTED INCREASES IN ENROLLMENT FOR BOTH MATH 6 AND MATH 7.

WE ALSO SEE THAT FAMILIES ARE CHOOSING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE MATH 8 OPTION.

FEEDBACK FROM OUR MIDDLE SCHOOLS INDICATES THAT STUDENTS AND FAMILIES APPRECIATE HAVING ON GRADE LEVEL OPTIONS AS THEY ENTER MIDDLE SCHOOL, ALONG WITH THE FLEXIBILITY TO ACCELERATE OR DECELERATE OVER TIME, BUILDING MATH CONFIDENCE IN 6TH GRADE, SUPPORT STUDENT SUCCESS, AND CAN POSITION STUDENTS TO MOVE INTO HONORS COURSES IN SEVENTH GRADE AND BEYOND.

OUR DIVISION CURRICULUM TEAM AND TEACHER LEADERS HAVE BEEN WORKING DILIGENTLY TO DEVELOP INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCES THAT SUPPORT BOTH THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION'S MATH STANDARDS AND OUR CCPS MIDDLE SCHOOL MATH PATHWAYS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

DOCTOR DEANNA MOREAU LED A TEAM OF TEACHER CURRICULUM WRITERS TO CREATE RESOURCES ALONG TO THE NEW STATES TO THE NEW STATE STANDARDS.

SHE ALSO PARTNERED WITH SPECIAL EDUCATION AND GIFTED TEAMS TO SUPPORT ALL LEARNERS THROUGH PROFESSIONAL LEARNING AND ACQUIRING SPECIFIC RESOURCES FOR EACH GROUP.

THIS INCLUDED ADDITIONAL MATERIALS TO SUPPORT DIFFERENTIATION IN MATH 5.A, AS WELL AS THE ADDITION OF BRIDGES INTERVENTION KITS, WHICH WILL LAUNCH IN SUMMER SCHOOL ALONGSIDE WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE OF IMAGINE MATH AND IMAGINE MATH FACTS AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL.

THE DIVISION ADDED A MATH INTERVENTIONIST TO HELP SCHOOLS MORE EFFECTIVELY USE SUPPLEMENTAL RESOURCES AND STRATEGIES TO SUPPORT MORE STUDENTS.

JILL MILLER LED A TEAM OF TEACHER CURRICULUM WRITERS TO DEVELOP DIVISION RESOURCES ALIGNED TO STATE STANDARDS BASED ON ONGOING TEACHER FEEDBACK.

SHE ALSO COLLABORATED WITH SPECIAL EDUCATION AND GIFTED TEAMS TO CREATE COMPREHENSIVE INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCES AND ASSESSMENTS THROUGH OUR ALL IN FUNDING AND IN COLLABORATION WITH SPECIAL EDUCATION AND ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE.

THE MIDDLE SCHOOL MATH TEAM SECURED SUPPLEMENTAL AND INTERVENTION RESOURCES FOR ALL OF OUR MIDDLE SCHOOLS.

THESE INCLUDED AN INTERVENTION MATH ELECTIVE CLASS AND AN INTERVENTION KIT THAT CAN BE CONTINUED TO USE DURING FLEX.

BOTH OPTIONS SUPPORT STUDENT LEARNING GAPS AND WILL BE LAUNCHED NEXT YEAR BY STEPHANIE BURTON.

CCPS HAS ALSO EXPANDED IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR NEW INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCE MATH SPACE ALIGNED TO THE 2023 MATH STANDARDS OF LEARNING.

WE INCLUDED 4 ADDITIONAL SCHOOLS THIS YEAR. WE BROUGHT IN CHESTERFIELD VIRTUAL SCHOOL.

DEEP CREEK MIDDLE SCHOOL. PROVIDENCE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND SALEM CHURCH MIDDLE SCHOOL.

THESE SCHOOLS JOINED SCHOOLS WHO ALREADY HAD ACCESS.

FALLING CREEK MIDDLE SCHOOL, TOMAHAWK CREEK MIDDLE SCHOOL, MEADOWBROOK HIGH SCHOOL, L.C.

BIRD HIGH SCHOOL, AND MATOACA HIGH SCHOOL. IN ADDITION, DIVISION STAFF WORKED COLLABORATIVELY TO FINALIZE OUR SUMMER BRIDGE COURSE.

THIS COURSE IS REQUIRED FOR STUDENTS IN MATH SEVEN WHO WISH TO ACCELERATE TO ALGEBRA 1 IN 8TH GRADE AND ENSURE STUDENTS DO NOT MISS ESSENTIAL CONTENT.

WE WERE ABLE TO PROVIDE 2 FREE OPTIONS FOR STUDENTS AN IN-PERSON AND AN ASYNCHRONOUS VIRTUAL LEARNING EXPERIENCE.

WE ALSO STREAMLINED THE PROCESS ACROSS MATH AND SCIENCE BRIDGE COURSES TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR FAMILIES TO NAVIGATE.

WE'RE GRATEFUL FOR THE COLLABORATION THAT OCCURRED IN THIS ENDEAVOR BETWEEN SCHOOL LEADERSHIP, SCHOOL COUNSELING, SUMMER SCHOOL, AND CCPS ONLINE IN SUPPORTING THIS WORK.

ONGOING FEEDBACK IS ESSENTIAL AS WE WORK TO UNDERSTAND HOW IMPLEMENTATION IS IMPACTING INSTRUCTION, AND WE REMAIN COMMITTED TO CONTINUOUS DATA DRIVEN IMPROVEMENT.

OUR SURVEY DATA SHOWS THAT TEACHERS ARE ACTIVELY USING THE UPDATED RESOURCES.

IN FACT, 97% OF SURVEYED STAFF REPORT USING DIVISION PROVIDED INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS AT LEAST WEEKLY.

THIS HIGH LEVEL OF ENGAGEMENT HELPS ENSURE CONSISTENT IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CURRICULUM ACROSS THE DIVISION.

SOME OF THE MOST WIDELY USED RESOURCES INCLUDE OUR QUARTERLY INSTRUCTIONAL GUIDES, WHICH SUPPORT LESSON SEQUENCING, SAMPLE ASSESSMENT QUESTIONS WITHIN EACH UNIT, AND ALIGNMENT CHECKLISTS THAT HELP TEACHERS THROUGH PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITIES,

[00:35:03]

NOW, THIS IS OUR 3RD YEAR IMPLEMENTING AND REFINING A POTENTIALLY NEW MATH RESOURCE THAT I JUST SHARED, MATH SPACE. CURRENTLY, 9 OF OUR SCHOOLS HAVE BEEN UTILIZING THESE RESOURCES AND WILL CONTINUE TO GATHER PROFESSIONAL LEARNING AND FEEDBACK AS WE MOVE TOWARDS FULL IMPLEMENTATION ACROSS ALL MIDDLE SCHOOLS AND HIGH SCHOOLS IN 2026-27.

THIS LEVEL OF CONSISTENCY OF RESOURCES, COMBINED WITH ONGOING FEEDBACK AND PROFESSIONAL LEARNING, ENSURES THAT ALL STUDENTS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR SCHOOL, HAVE ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY, STANDARDS ALIGNED INSTRUCTION THAT SUPPORTS THEIR SUCCESS.

BUT THE NUMBERS ONLY TELL PART OF THE STORY. TEACHERS ARE SHARING THAT THE NEW RESOURCES ARE MAKING A MEANINGFUL DIFFERENCE IN THEIR WORK EACH DAY.

1 TEACHER NOTED THAT THE MATERIALS ARE, QUOTE, EASY TO NAVIGATE, END QUOTE, AND THAT THE STANDARDS PROGRESSION SHEETS HAVE BEEN A GAME CHANGER FOR LESSON PLANNING. ANOTHER SHARED THAT THE DAY BY DAY TOPIC BREAKDOWN ENSURES EACH STANDARD IS TAUGHT IN DEPTH, RATHER THAN BEING BRIEFLY ADDRESSED. THIS KIND OF FEEDBACK IS CRITICAL AS WE CONTINUE TO REFINE OUR MATERIALS FOR NEXT YEAR, AND OUR TEAM IS COMMITTED TO CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT, BEING THE BEST AT GETTING BETTER IS OUR MOTTO.

THAT MEANS INTENTIONALLY GATHERING BOTH FORMAL AND INFORMAL FEEDBACK TO STRENGTHEN OUR RESOURCES, COURSE OFFERINGS AND SUPPORT FOR TEACHERS AND SCHOOL SCHOOLS ACROSS ALL LEVELS EACH YEAR.

AS WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE 20 2627 SCHOOL YEAR, OUR WORK IS FAR FROM FINISHED.

WE WILL CONTINUE TO COLLECT THAT FORMAL AND INFORMAL FEEDBACK THAT WE JUST ADDRESSED TO STRENGTHEN OUR, OUR IN-HOUSE RESOURCES. AND OUR GOAL IS TO ENSURE THAT THE TRANSITION FROM ELEMENTARY TO MIDDLE SCHOOL AND MIDDLE TO HIGH SCHOOL IS AS SEAMLESS AS POSSIBLE FOR EVERY STUDENT AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL, SCHOOLS WILL CONTINUE USING BRIDGES INTERVENTION KITS ACROSS ALL CLASSROOMS. IN ADDITION, OUR DIVISION CREATED CURRICULUM FRAMEWORK PAGES NOW INCORPORATE THESE RESOURCES TO FURTHER SUPPORT TEACHER PLANNING.

WE'RE ALSO EXCITED TO CONTINUE USING IMAGINE MATH AND MATH FACTS, WHICH PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH PERSONALIZED ADAPTIVE LEARNING PATHWAYS ALONG THESE RESOURCES. WE REMAIN COMMITTED TO PROVIDING HIGH QUALITY PROFESSIONAL LEARNING FOR BOTH TEACHERS AND LEADERS GROUNDED IN OUR CCPS BEST PRACTICES.

FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR, WE HAVE FINALIZED OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL MATH PATHWAYS TO ALIGN WITH THE NEWLY IMPLEMENTED STATE ACCELERATION LEGISLATION.

THIS ENSURES THAT CCPS REMAINS BOTH COMPLIANT AND A LEADER IN EXPANDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS.

EACH YEAR, WE REVIEW OUR COURSE OFFERINGS TO REMAIN RESPONSIVE TO FEEDBACK FROM SCHOOL LEADERS AND TEACHERS, AND WE WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE TARGETED PROFESSIONAL LEARNING FOCUSED ON OUR CCSPS BEST PRACTICES, AS WELL AS THE EFFECTIVE USE OF SUPPLEMENTAL AND INTERVENTION RESOURCES.

FINALLY, AS OUR CURRENT MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS TRANSITION TO HIGH HIGH SCHOOL.

WE'RE TURNING OUR FOCUS TO HIGH SCHOOL MATH PATHWAYS.

AS PART OF OUR PROPOSED UPDATES, WE WILL COLLABORATE WITH SCHOOL LEADERSHIP, CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION, ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE, SCHOOL COUNSELING, SPECIAL EDUCATION, AND MATH TEACHER LEADERS.

THIS WORK WILL ENSURE ALIGNMENT WITH COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS INDICATORS AND HELP US CLEARLY DEFINE RECOMMENDED MATH PATHWAYS THAT SUPPORT ALL STUDENTS IN TAKING MATH. ALL 4 YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL. SIMILAR TO OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL EFFORTS, WE WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE ONGOING PROFESSIONAL LEARNING FOCUSED ON OUR UPDATED CCPS BEST PRACTICES IN MATHEMATICS AND THE EFFECTIVE USE OF HIGH QUALITY INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS TO ENSURE STRONG, CONSISTENT INSTRUCTION THAT PREPARES ALL STUDENTS FOR POST-SECONDARY SUCCESS.

IN CLOSING, THIS WORK REFLECTS OUR COMMITMENT TO PROVIDING EVERY STUDENT WITH ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY MATHEMATICS INSTRUCTION, MEANINGFUL LEARNING EXPERIENCES AND MULTIPLE PATHWAYS TO SUCCESS THROUGH THOUGHTFUL DESIGN, ONGOING FEEDBACK, AND STRONG COLLABORATION, WE'RE BUILDING A SYSTEM THAT IS BOTH RESPONSIVE AND FORWARD THINKING.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, WE'RE ENSURING THAT OUR STUDENTS, ALL OF OUR STUDENTS, ARE PREPARED, CONFIDENT, AND EQUIPPED FOR THEIR NEXT STEPS, BOTH IN SCHOOL AND BEYOND.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME THIS AFTERNOON AS WELL AS YOUR COMMITMENT TO MATH FOR ALL STUDENTS IN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE AT THIS TIME.

THANK YOU, DOCTOR STAINS, BOARD MEMBERS IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? MR. PARANTO. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. DOCTOR STAINS, THANK YOU FOR THAT PRESENTATION AND FOR YOU AND YOUR TEAM ROLLING THIS OUT OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. I AM CURIOUS IF YOU WOULD NOT MIND GATHERING THE DATA FOR US, BUT HUGE BROWNIE POINTS.

[00:40:01]

NO PRESSURE. CORRECT. THE GPA INCREASE. SO WE HAVE RESTRUCTURED THE MATH LAYOUT FOR OUR STUDENTS.

SO THE CUMULATIVE GPA, IF YOU WILL, PRIOR TO THE ROLLOUT VERSUS AFTER THE ROLLOUT, ARE WE SEEING THE STUDENTS EXCEL IN THIS AREA VERSUS BEFORE? IF THAT'S SOME DATA THAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO TO SEE, I'D GREATLY APPRECIATE IT.

UNLESS YOU HAD IT OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD. I WOULD BE SO IMPRESSED WITH MYSELF IF I HAD THAT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, BUT I DO NOT. BUT WE CAN ABSOLUTELY GATHER THAT FOR YOU.

I APPRECIATE THAT, THANK YOU. OF COURSE. THANK YOU, MISS CHATTERS.

HI, DOCTOR STAINS. THANK YOU FOR THAT. MY QUESTION WAS REGARDING THE FOCUS MATH FACILITATORS.

RIGHT. SO WE IN YOUR PRESENTATION, YOU TALKED ABOUT I'M GONNA GO THERE.

SORRY. FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS THAT WE'RE.

THE GOAL IS TO GET THEM TO TAKE MATH FOR 4 YEARS EVERY YEAR.

WHAT IS THE PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS WHO ACTUALLY WANT TO TAKE MATH IF THERE.

AND YOU PROBABLY DON'T HAVE THIS ANSWER, SO. THAT'S FINE TOO.

BUT THE FOCUS MATH FACILITATOR BEING IN THE CLASSROOM VERSUS A LIVE TEACHER IN THE CLASSROOM.

HOW DOES THAT IMPACT OUR CHILDREN'S ABILITY TO WANT TO TAKE MATH FOR 4 YEARS? IF 3 OF THOSE YEARS, I'M GOING TO HAVE A PERSON ON A COMPUTER TEACHING ME WHEN I RATHER HAVE A LIKE A LIVE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME.

THE GOAL IS ALWAYS TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE A PHYSICAL PERSON IN FRONT OF OUR STUDENTS.

AND I DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THAT DATA. HOWEVER, I WILL TELL YOU THAT THE FOCUS TEACHERS ARE NOT ALL TEACHING THE SAME CLASSES IN OUR HIGH SCHOOLS, SO THEY REALLY ARE FILLING IN THE GAPS BASED ON THE REQUIRED NEEDS OF THE SCHOOL.

SO SOME ARE TEACHING GEOMETRY, SOME MIGHT BE TEACHING ALGEBRA, SOME MIGHT BE TEACHING STATISTICS, AND THOSE ARE AT VERY DIFFERENT ENDS OF THE SPECTRUM.

SO I'M NOT SURE WHAT CLASSES EACH FOCUS TEACHER IS TEACHING RIGHT NOW, BUT I COULD FIND OUT THAT INFORMATION FOR YOU.

AND THEN NOT NECESSARILY FOR YOU. I GUESS IT'S MORE FOR DOCTOR MURRAY IS WHAT, WHAT ARE WE DOING TO TRY TO ELIMINATE THE FOCUSED MATH FACILITATORS IN OUR CLASSROOMS? BECAUSE IT IS A LEARNING CONSTRAINT FOR THOSE CHILDREN WHO DID NOT SIGN UP FOR, LIKE CCSPS ONLINE.

IF YOU DO THAT, THEN YOU OBVIOUSLY ARE OKAY WITH THE PERSON ON THE COMPUTER, BUT IN A CLASSROOM, WE WOULD PROBABLY PREFER A TEACHER. WE WOULD I MEAN, I'LL ECHO WHAT DOCTOR STEVENS HAS SAID.

WE WE ARE HYPER FOCUSED ON ATTRACTING AND RETAINING HIGHLY QUALIFIED IN-PERSON INSTRUCTORS TO TEACH OUR KIDS. AND I'LL GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO KIM AND HER TEAM WHO ARE DOING, I WANT TO SAY RECRUITMENT EVENTS. IT FEELS LIKE EVERY, EVERY SINGLE WEEK THIS YEAR COMING UP, PARTICIPATE IS ACTUALLY AUTHORIZING MATH AS ONE OF THEIR FOCUS AREAS.

SO THAT WILL HELP US OUT. I DON'T KNOW TO WHAT EXTENT YET, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO PUT KIM ON THE SPOT.

ALL FOR HIRES AND OFFERS AND, YOU KNOW, APPRECIATING WHERE WE HAVE A HIGHER NUMBER OF FOCUS TEACHERS. MEADOWBROOK HAD A BOOMING SUCCESS. WHAT ABOUT A MONTH AGO WITH 2 OR 3 INDIVIDUALS WHO WANTED TO GO AND TEACH MATH AND THEY WERE ENDORSED AND CERTIFIED. SO THAT'S GOING TO ALLOW US TO MOVE AWAY TO AN EXTENT.

BUT I WOULD MUCH PREFER SOMEONE CREDENTIALED IN HIGHER LEVEL MATH TEACHING, EVEN IF IT'S VIRTUALLY AND HAVING A SUPERVISOR IN THE ROOM, THEN A SUBSTITUTE WHO MAY STRUGGLE WITH THAT CONTENT.

WE JUST HAVE SOME STUDENTS THAT ARE STRUGGLING WITH THE VIRTUAL TEACHER.

AND SO JUST TO ECHO WHAT OR TO REITERATE FOR THE COMMUNITY WHAT IT IS THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY DOING TO TRY TO BRING THAT NUMBER DOWN AND BRING MORE LIVE MATH TEACHERS INTO THE CLASSROOM. SO IT WAS APPRECIATIVE FOR. THANK YOU, KIM AND JOHN, FOR EXPLAINING WHAT WE'RE CURRENTLY TRYING TO DO TO MAKE SURE WE ELIMINATE THAT NUMBER. WELL, IT'S A IT'S A HEAVY LIFT. YOU KNOW, I KNOW YOU ALL ARE FAMILIAR WITH THIS AND I'LL GET SOME OF THE NUMBERS WRONG.

SO I'LL TALK MAYBE IN APPROXIMATIONS. BUT FOR ANY OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC WHO MAY BE TUNING IN, VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY'S OUT. PUT OUT WHAT, CLOSE TO 70 MATH TEACHERS.

KIM. IN THE PREVIOUS YEAR, WE COULD HAVE FILLED ALL OF THOSE VACANCIES.

AND THEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE COMPETITION AROUND THE COMMONWEALTH AS A WHOLE.

AND THEN HOW MANY OF THOSE FOLKS OR GRADUATES WOULD PREFER TO GO INTO ANOTHER FIELD WHERE THEY MIGHT MAKE MORE MONEY?

[00:45:02]

SO WE LEAN AND RELY HEAVILY ON OUR CAREER SWITCHER PATHWAYS, SUBSIDIZING GETTING FULLY ENDORSED IN A PARTICULAR CONTENT. AND WE'VE SEEN SOME GROWING SUCCESS THERE.

OKAY.

SO OBVIOUSLY PARENTS ARE STILL HAVING INPUT. MATH TEACHERS ARE STILL HAVING INPUT.

WE DON'T KNOW WHO WILL BE SITTING IN THOSE CLASSROOMS NEXT YEAR.

BUT WHAT TYPES OF CONVERSATIONS ARE WE HAVING THROUGHOUT THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE STUDENTS ARE REPRESENTING AN EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION BY SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS OR BY GENDER OR BY ANY OF THE METRICS THAT WE ARE HOPING THAT WE ARE NOT STIFLING SOME OF OUR STUDENTS TO GO TO A LOWER LEVEL THAN THEY NEED TO BE.

ABSOLUTELY. SO ONE OF THE BIG CHANGES IN OUR DIVISION VERSUS SOME OTHER OPPORTUNITIES THAT YOU'VE HEARD IN SURROUNDING DISTRICTS AND WITHIN THE COMMONWEALTH, IS THAT WE ARE NOT SAYING THAT STUDENTS HAVE TO HAVE A CERTAIN SCORE, QUANTITATIVE SCORE ON AN SOL OR A MAP TEST OR THE VGA PREVIOUSLY, AND MOVE THEM INTO A SPECIFIC COURSE. SO WHAT WE HAVE REALLY BEEN INTENTIONAL ABOUT IS TRYING TO MAKE QUALITATIVE DATA.

HOW CONFIDENT DOES THE STUDENT FEEL THAT INVOLVES HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH THE STUDENT? DO YOU FEEL THAT YOU ARE EXCITED ABOUT WHAT MIDDLE SCHOOL MATH HAS TO OFFER, OR MATH SEVEN OR MATH EIGHT? AND WHAT WE'VE ACTUALLY DONE IS IN GUIDANCE DOCUMENTS, WE'VE REALLY ARTICULATED FOR FAMILIES EXACTLY WHAT EACH COURSE, THE CHARACTERISTICS OF EACH COURSE. A STUDENT WOULD BE MOST SUCCESSFUL IN THIS COURSE IF.

AND NONE OF THEM ARE INVOLVING TEST SCORES. ALL OF IT IS ABOUT THE CONFIDENCE THAT A STUDENT HAS.

WE REALLY WANT TO MAKE THOSE INDIVIDUAL DECISIONS BACK WITH THE FAMILIES.

AND THEN THE TEACHER INPUT IS COMING IN WITH WHAT'S THE TEACHER SEEING IN CLASS? SO THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE TEACHERS TO GIVE SOME FEEDBACK.

WE STILL HAVE THAT QUANTITATIVE PIECE, BUT BY NOT LEADING WITH THAT PIECE, IT REALLY DOES BOLSTER THE OPPORTUNITY FOR MORE STUDENTS TO SEE THEMSELVES IN HIGHER LEVEL MATH. DO YOU WORK HARD? SURE DO. LET'S SEE WHAT KIND OF A CHALLENGE WE CAN GIVE YOU.

ADDITIONALLY, EACH YEAR WE WILL. AND WE MADE THIS COMMITMENT TO THE BOARD BACK IN 2024, WE MAINTAIN IT.

EACH YEAR WE LOOK AT THE SCHOOL'S DEMOGRAPHIC, AND THEN WE PULL A REPORT IN CONJUNCTION WITH DATABASE SERVICES TO SAY, BASED ON THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF YOUR SCHOOL, WHAT ARE WE SEEING IS THE DEMOGRAPHIC COMPILATION OF STUDENTS IN MATH 6 VERSUS MATH 6.H VERSUS DOUBLE ACCELERATED. AND THEN WE WORK REALLY CLOSELY WITH SCHOOL LEADERSHIP AS WELL AS THE PRINCIPALS, TO GO AND HAVE THOSE REALLY BRAVE AND COURAGEOUS CONVERSATIONS TO SAY, WE HAVE SOME MORE LENSES THAT WE NEED TO EXPLORE SO THAT WE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT'S THE DISCONNECT HERE, SO THAT MORE STUDENTS CAN FIND THEMSELVES IN THESE CLASSES AS A PART OF THE MESSAGING? DO WE NEED TO SHIFT HOW WE'RE COMMUNICATING? DO WE NEED TO START ADVOCATING DIFFERENTLY OR BETTER THROUGH OTHER MEANS? SO FOR EXAMPLE, IF WE ONLY HAVE ONE METHOD OF A RISING SIXTH GRADE NIGHT AND THAT'S THE ONLY TIME WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT, WHEN ELSE CAN WE FACILITATE CONVERSATIONS FOR THE FAMILIES WHO DIDN'T COME TO THAT RISING SIXTH GRADER NIGHT? SO WE'RE REALLY WE ARE REALLY TRYING TO HAVE A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH.

THANK YOU. I HAVE ONE OTHER FOLLOW UP QUESTION.

SO YOU HAVE THAT YOU'VE BEEN ASKING TEACHERS, ARE THEY USING THESE NEW MATH RESOURCES AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL? AND IT SEEMS LIKE THEY ARE USING THEM AND THEY FEEL POSITIVE ABOUT THEM, BUT FEELINGS ONLY GO SO FAR.

HOW DO WE KNOW WHETHER THESE RESOURCES ARE PREPARING OUR STUDENTS? LIKE WHAT TYPES OF DATA HAVE WE BEEN COLLECTING ALL ALONG THE WAY TO KNOW THAT THIS IS A GOOD CHANGE.

FANTASTIC QUESTION. SO WE LAST YEAR WAS OUR 1ST YEAR OF BRAND NEW STANDARDS.

IT ALSO WAS THE 1ST YEAR THAT TEACHERS SAW THESE STANDARDS.

SO WE ASKED TEACHERS LAST YEAR TO BOTH TEACH THESE STANDARDS AND TAKE A BRAND NEW TEST LAST YEAR TO GIVE THEM MORE TIME.

TYPICALLY, WE GET A CROSSWALK YEAR, YEAR, WE CAN INTEGRATE THE STANDARDS MORE AUTHENTICALLY INTO OUR CLASSROOMS, AND THAT'S COMPLETELY OKAY. WHAT WE'VE BEEN FOCUSING ON THIS YEAR, IN PARTICULAR WITH THE SOLS THAT STUDENTS ARE EITHER STARTING TO TAKE RIGHT NOW OR ARE SOON GOING TO BE TAKING IN THE NEXT WEEK OR SO.

WE'RE REALLY LOOKING AT WHAT DOES THE SOL DATA TELL US? AS A SUMMATIVE MEASURE, WE'RE ALSO WE'VE BEEN ADMINISTERING NWEA MAP TO STUDENTS 3 TIMES A YEAR IN 6TH GRADE, 7TH GRADE, AND 8TH GRADE. WE REALLY USE THAT AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL AS OUR BENCHMARKS TO SEE HOW ARE OUR STUDENTS PROGRESSING.

WHILE WE DON'T NECESSARILY BREAK IT DOWN BY CLASS INTO GRADES OR THE 6TH GRADE MATH CLASS, WE'RE ABLE TO SEE HOW THE ENTIRE GRADE LEVEL DOES.

AND THEN WE'VE BEEN OFFERING PROFESSIONAL LEARNING AND REALLY WORKING WITH EACH OF OUR SCHOOLS IN ADDITION TO SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT.

[00:50:05]

AND THIS YEAR IS REALLY OUR, OUR TEST. WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO SEE AS SOME OTHER VARIABLES HAVE NORMED.

WHAT DO WE START TO LOOK AT? APPLES TO APPLES.

THANK YOU DOCTOR STAINS. THANK YOU. I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION, BUT I DO HAVE A COMMENT SIMILAR TO WHAT DOCTOR DARBY WAS TALKING ABOUT.

THIS 97% OF TEACHERS SURVEYED ARE SAYING THAT THEY ARE USING THE RESOURCES THAT YOU AND YOUR TEAM HAVE PROVIDED.

I HAVE BEEN THE BENEFICIARY OF RESOURCES PROVIDED THAT WERE NOT USED AND THEY WEREN'T USED BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT. WHAT DOCTOR DARBY WAS TALKING ABOUT? MEANING NOT THEY WERE LACKLUSTER. SO I WOULD VENTURE TO SAY 97% OF THEM USING IT IS A.

I CONGRATULATE YOU AND YOUR TEAM FOR CREATING SOME RESOURCES.

SERIOUSLY, FOR CREATING RESOURCES THAT THEY ARE FEELING.

OH, I CAN USE THIS IS FANTASTIC, IT'S EXACTLY LINING UP, THAT'S A TON OF HARD WORK.

SO THANK YOU FOR FOR DOING THAT AND DIGGING IN AND CARING.

AND I LOVE YOUR ENERGY AND YOUR EXCEPTIONALISM, YOU AND YOUR TEAM.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, DOCTOR. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.

NEXT WE HAVE AN UPDATE ON SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION FROM DOCTOR WODICKA.

[D. School Construction Update]

AND YOU KNOW, I KNOW I'VE SAID THIS FROM THIS PODIUM PROBABLY NOW A NUMBER A NUMBER OF TIMES IN THE 10 MONTHS I'VE BEEN HERE. BUT I'LL SAY IT AGAIN, IT IS INDEED AN EXCITING TIME TO BE IN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY TO CELEBRATE ALL THE GREAT CONSTRUCTION AND WORK THAT WE'RE DOING HERE.

ALL THE GREAT FUTURE BUILDING FOR THIS COMMUNITY THAT WE'RE DOING.

AND I CAN TELL YOU, HAVING BEEN ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS AND THAT'S, YOU KNOW, CLOSING THE SCHOOL DOWN, THIS IS A MUCH BETTER PLACE TO BE. AND SO REALLY THANKFUL.

AND FRANKLY, I THINK WE'RE ALL HONORED TO BE A PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW SCHOOLS OR EVEN JUST REPLACEMENT SCHOOLS.

IT'S REALLY A GREAT TIME TO BE HERE. SO THIS PRESENTATION IS PRIMARILY PICTURES.

THERE'S SOME WORDS IN THAT SORT OF THING TOO, BUT WE THOUGHT, HEY, LISTEN, LET'S SHOW YOU WHAT'S GOING ON OUT IN THE FIELD AND SHOW YOU WHAT THE BUILDINGS LOOK LIKE AND TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE SPACES THAT STUDENTS ARE GOING TO BE IN REALLY IN SOME CASES IN JUST A FEW MONTHS.

AND SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU. SO WE'LL GET STARTED AND MOVE IN FIRST TO OUR NEW WEST AREA HIGH SCHOOL.

I KNOW A LITTLE LATER THIS EVENING MR. SMITH'S GOING TO TALK ABOUT NAMING IT FORMALLY, BUT WE'RE STILL CALLING IT THE WEST AREA HIGH SCHOOL AT THIS POINT.

AND IN THIS CASE, AS WE ARE IN ALL OF THESE PROJECTS, WE ARE ON TIME AND ON BUDGET.

YOU'LL NOTE THAT THERE IS A COMMENT ABOUT A COUPLE OF CHANGE ORDERS THAT HAVE BEEN THAT HAVE OCCURRED THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS.

THOSE ARE ALL WITHIN OUR BUDGETED CONTINGENCIES AND OUR ALLOWANCES.

SO NO CONCERN ABOUT ADDITIONAL FUNDS THAT ARE NEEDED. BUT WE HAVE A GROUP THAT IS VERY, VERY DEDICATED TO MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE KEEPING COSTS IN LINE, MAKING SURE THAT SCHEDULE IS IN LINE, MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE ON ON POINT WHERE WE NEED TO BE SO VERY, VERY THRILLED WITH THE PROGRESS WE'VE MADE HERE. AS WELL GOING FORWARD.

SO COMING UP, WE HAVE OUR PERMANENT ELECTRIC SERVICE.

I'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT IN JUST A FEW MINUTES. THAT WILL BE COMING FORWARD, AS WELL AS THE INSTALLATION OF THE ROOF SECTIONS ON AREAS WHETHER OR NOT THERE IS NO ROOF JUST YET, AS WELL AS GYM FLOOR CONCRETE THAT YOU'LL SEE A COUPLE OF PICTURES OF IN JUST A FEW MINUTES.

SO THIS PROJECT IN PARTICULAR, ALL THESE PROJECTS DO. BUT IN PARTICULAR, THIS PROJECT HAS TAKEN A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF COLLABORATION AND COOPERATION FROM LOTS OF DIFFERENT FOLKS. SO CERTAINLY OUR CONSTRUCTION TEAM BUT ALSO OUR FRIENDS AT THE COUNTY, OUR FRIENDS AT THE UTILITY COMPANIES AND EVERYWHERE ELSE.

AND WE'VE HAD A LOT OF REALLY GREAT INTERACTION WHERE WE'VE BEEN TOGETHER.

SO A COUPLE OF THOSE THINGS RELATED TO UTILITIES ELECTRIC SERVICE IS EXPECTED TO BE INSTALLED AND READY FROM THE MAIN POWER LINE INTO THE SITE BY JUNE OF THE END OF JUNE OF 2026. SO COMING UP HAD A GOOD RELATIONSHIP THERE.

WE'RE ALSO WORKING ON A PROCESS RIGHT NOW TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT IT MAKES SENSE TO TRANSITION TO NATURAL GAS AT THIS SITE.

SO THE BUILDING WAS DESIGNED WITH PROPANE FOR THE BOILERS, THE GENERATOR, THE WATER HEATERS.

WE THINK THERE MIGHT BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH COLUMBIA GAS, BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH DEVELOPMENT GOING ON IN THE AREA TO GET A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME AND AMOUNT OF MONEY TO TO BRING NATURAL GAS TO THE AREA.

WE'LL CONTINUE TO WORK ON THAT AND FIGURE OUT WHAT THOSE PROPOSALS ARE GOING TO LOOK LIKE.

[00:55:01]

SO WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT. WATER SERVICE CONTINUES. THAT THAT IS A PART OF THE, THE CDOT PROJECT RELATED TO JOHN THOMAS. WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE OF THAT IN JUST A MOMENT. AND THEN OUR SEWER SERVICE HAS BEEN INSTALLED AND IS READY ON SITE.

THERE WAS A LOT OF ROCK TO GET THROUGH. HAD TO BLAST THROUGH A LOT OF ROCK IN THE AREA. FORTUNATELY, THAT WAS ALL WITHIN BUDGET AS WELL.

SO LOTS OF GREAT WORK, MOVING FAST, MOVING QUICKLY THROUGH THE PROCESS, AND GOING WELL ON THE TRANSPORTATION SIDE.

JOHN THOMAS WAY IS CONTINUING AS WELL AS DUVAL ROAD IMPROVEMENTS.

YOU MAY KNOW THAT THAT THAT SECTION, THERE'S A SECTION OF ROAD THAT'S CLOSED DOWN NOW FOR OUR PROJECT REALLY SO THERE'S GREAT WORK GOING ON AS WELL.

FINAL NAMING, AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, WILL BE UPCOMING THE ATHLETIC FIELD TURNOVER WILL BE COMING UP LATER THIS YEAR.

THIS YEAR, EXCUSE ME. AND THE COLOR SELECTIONS WITH OUR PRINCIPAL ARE ONGOING RIGHT NOW.

THE PRIMARY SCHOOL COLORS WERE CHOSEN A LITTLE WHILE AGO.

WE'RE WORKING WITH DOCTOR BABER TO FIGURE OUT EXACTLY HOW WE WANT THOSE ACCENT WALLS TO BE DESIGNED, AND REALLY MAKING IT THAT SPECIAL, WONDERFUL PLACE THAT WE KNOW THAT IT SHOULD BE AND CAN BE.

SO A FEW PICTURES JUST TO SHARE WHAT THE SITE LOOKS LIKE RIGHT NOW.

SO THIS IS A SITE PICTURE. OF COURSE, YOU CAN SEE TOWARDS THE BACK OF THE PICTURE, THERE'S A PARKING LOT FOR STAFF AND YOU'LL SEE THE MAIN ACADEMIC BUILDING OR THE MAIN CLASSROOM BUILDING THERE TO THE LEFT OF THE BUILDING THAT'S BUILT IS THE GYM AND IN THE MIDDLE, THE AUXILIARY GYM AND THE AUDITORIUM. SO YOU'LL NOTE THAT IN MOST OF THOSE CASES, THE ROOF DECKING HAS BEEN INSTALLED.

WE'RE STARTING TO WORK ON THAT NOW IN THE AUDITORIUM AS WELL. YOU'LL ALSO START TO SEE IN THE FOREGROUND THE ARTS CLASSROOMS AND THE LOCKER ROOMS ARE STARTING TO COME OUT OF THE GROUND. SO LOTS OF EXCITING WORK GOING ON RIGHT NOW AS WELL.

INSIDE THE BUILDING. THIS IS THIS IS A PHOTO OF INSIDE JUST INSIDE THE ACADEMIC BUILDING OR THE SORT OF 2 STORY BUILDING THAT WE HAVE.

WHAT YOU'LL SEE EVENTUALLY IS 2, WE'RE CALLING THEM GRAND STAIRCASES.

IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT OF AN EXAGGERATION, BUT THEY'RE BIG STAIRCASES THAT WILL GO TO THE SECOND FLOOR.

THAT'S SORT OF ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE PICTURE, THERE WILL BE A PART OF THAT ENTRY INTO THE ACADEMIC BUILDING, AND CREATING THAT SPACE THAT FEELS IMPORTANT IS IMPORTANT.

AND THEN TO THE LEFT, YOU'LL SEE ONE OF TWO COURTYARDS THAT'S DESIGNED IN THE BUILDING AND WILL PROVIDE GREAT INSTRUCTIONAL FLEXIBILITY FOR SPACE FOR STUDENTS AND STAFF TO BE ON NICE DAYS LIKE TODAY, MAYBE A LITTLE BIT COOLER AS WELL. THIS IS A PHOTO OF THIS IS ONE OF OUR, OUR ADVANCED MANUFACTURING CLASSROOM. THE PURPOSE OF THIS PHOTO IS JUST TO SHOW YOU THE, THE STUDS GOING UP.

SO WE'RE STARTING TO SEE CLASSROOMS STARTING TO LOOK LIKE CLASSROOMS IN THIS BUILDING.

AS WE GO FORWARD, AS WELL AS YOU'LL START SEEING DUCTWORK AND HVAC WORK GOING IN AS WELL.

SO GOOD. GOOD PROGRESS. THIS IS AUXILIARYGYM, AND AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, THE ROOF IS ON THE BUILDING.

HOWEVER, WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO TO BRING THIS TO BEING READY FOR A FOR A PE CLASS OR A BASKETBALL GAME.

WE'LL BE INSTALLING THE CONCRETE FLOORS SHORTLY AND THEN IT'LL BE, OF COURSE WILL BE FILLED IN WITH A GYM FLOOR AFTER THAT.

AND THIS IS A, THIS IS A PICTURE, THIS LAST PICTURE OF THE HIGH SCHOOL.

THIS IS A PICTURE I THINK IS REALLY INTERESTING.

IS IS STANDING WHERE THE STAGE WILL BE. AND I LIKE TO THINK ABOUT THOSE THOSE GENERATIONS OF STUDENTS THAT ARE COMING BEFORE US IN THE NEXT, WE'LL CALL IT 60 OR 70 OR MAYBE 80 YEARS. THIS BUILDING IS IN SERVICE.

HOW MANY STUDENTS WILL BE STANDING THERE GIVING A PERFORMANCE WILL BE.

MAYBE SPEAKING OR OR ENJOYING THEIR TIME AT THEIR HIGH SCHOOL.

AND SO THEY WILL HAVE THIS VIEW, BUT CERTAINLY MUCH MORE FINISHED BY THE TIME THEY'RE THERE.

BUT THINKING ABOUT THOSE STUDENTS GOING FORWARD.

SO THAT'S OUR HIGH SCHOOL. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE NOW ACROSS THE COUNTY TO BENSLEY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

THIS IS A REPLACEMENT SCHOOL FOR THE EXISTING BENSLY.

THE THE FORMER FORMER. AND JUST LIKE THE HIGH SCHOOL, WE ARE ON TARGET FOR SCHEDULE AND BUDGET IN THIS, IN THIS, IN THIS PROJECT THAT ACTUALLY IN THIS PROJECT IS JUST A FEW WEEKS AWAY FOR SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION.

SO LOTS OF GREAT WORK GOING ON THERE. I WILL NOTE THAT I DID FIND OUT THIS MORNING THAT WE MAY NEED TO PUSH THAT SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION DATE, MAYBE A WEEK, BUT THERE'S NO IMPACT TO MOVING IN STUDENTS JOINING OR SCHOOL OPENING.

BUT THAT'S REALLY MORE OF A CONTRACTUAL THING. BUT I JUST DIDN'T WANT YOU TO GET TOO, TO THE POINT WHERE SAYING WE ACTUALLY HAD SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION JUST A LITTLE BIT LATER AND SAY, I THOUGHT WE WERE ON TIME, BUT WE'RE IN GOOD SHAPE ON THAT.

WE WILL MOVE IN THAT FIRST WEEK AFTER JUNE 8TH OF THIS YEAR.

SO A COUPLE OF POINTS JUST TO NOTE, UTILITY CONNECTIONS ARE MADE TO THE BUILDING.

WE ARE ONE THING WE'RE WORKING THROUGH, JUST BECAUSE THIS IS AN EXISTING SCHOOL IS THE VERIZON TELEPHONE TURNOVER.

THIS IS SOMETHING WE DEALT WITH AT A M DAVIS IN ORDER TO KEEP THE SAME PHONE NUMBER.

YOU CAN'T HAVE THE SAME PHONE NUMBER IN TWO PLACES, OBVIOUSLY. SO THAT'LL KIND OF TAKE THAT SWITCH OVER AS SOON AS WE MOVE OUT.

SO THAT'S ONE THING THAT'S SORT OF HOLDING UP US A LITTLE BIT, BUT WE KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH IT AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE ON WITH THAT. OVER THE SUMMER WE WILL GET OUR CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY. WE WILL GET OUR FURNITURE INSTALLED, A V DEVICE INSTALLED,

[01:00:03]

SO A FEW GREAT PICTURES HERE. THIS IS JUST THE SITE IN THE FOREGROUND.

YOU'LL SEE THE PARKING LOT STARTING TO TAKE FINAL SHAPE IN THE BACKGROUND.

IT'S KIND OF HARD TO SEE, BUT KIND OF BEHIND THE BUILDING IS WHERE THE BUS LOOP WILL BE.

AND THEN IN THE DIRT AREA NEXT TO THE AT THE END OF THE WINGS, THAT'S WHERE OUR PLAYGROUNDS WILL BE BUILT OVER THE SUMMER.

SO WE'LL BE EXCITED TO SEE STUDENTS OUT THERE MOVING INSIDE.

WE'RE SEEING SOME CLASSROOMS THAT ARE STARTING TO SEE CASEWORK BEING INSTALLED, PAINTING, AND OBVIOUSLY WE'LL NEED A CEILING BEFORE WE GET GOING, BUT WE'RE MAKING REALLY GOOD PROGRESS AND WE'RE FEELING FEELING REALLY GOOD HERE. THIS IS IN THE GYM. SO OBVIOUSLY THE NEXT STEP HERE IS GYM FLOOR INSTALLATION.

SO AGAIN MAKING GOOD PROGRESS. BUT WE EXPECT THAT TO BE DONE RIGHT ON TIME.

AND THEN I BELIEVE THAT'S THE LAST. FINALLY THE IN THE CAFETERIA.

THIS IS THE KITCHEN SERVING LINE. AND SO YOU START TO SEE WHAT THAT WILL LOOK LIKE MOVING FORWARD.

SO REALLY, REALLY GREAT PROGRESS. THE SCHOOL IS LOOKING REALLY GOOD.

IF YOU, IF YOU DRIVE OFF OF CHIPPENHAM PARKWAY AND COME INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, IT IS JUST A, IT'S A REALLY BEAUTIFUL SIGHT TO SEE AND I THINK WILL CONTRIBUTE SUBSTANTIVELY TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS THE SCHOOL HAS FOR MANY, MANY DECADES. BUT IN A NEW AND SPECIAL WAY THAT IS BEAUTIFUL AND WILL CREATE AN EVEN GREATER SPACE FOR OUR STUDENTS TO ATTEND EVERY SINGLE DAY.

SO VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT. SO WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK ACROSS THE COUNTY TO DEEP CREEK ELEMENTARY AGAIN.

WE'RE FEELING REALLY GOOD ABOUT SCHEDULE AND BUDGET HERE.

IN THIS CASE, YOU SEE YOU'LL SEE A LITTLE BIT MORE DONE IN THE GYM AND COMMON SPACES AS OPPOSED TO WHERE DEEP BENSLEY WAS, BUT WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE TO DO IN THE CLASSROOM SPACES HERE. SO WE'LL BE WORKING ON INSTALLING CASEWORK AND TRIM, CEILING TILES, FINAL PAINT, THAT SORT OF THING GOING FORWARD.

NO MAJOR CONCERNS WITH SCHEDULE AT THIS POINT.

AND YOU CAN SEE WHERE WE ARE ON MEMBERS. JUST LIKE ALL MAJOR UTILITIES ARE CONNECTED, WE WILL BE DOING THAT FINAL LANDSCAPING THAT GETTING THAT CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY, BUILDING THOSE PLAYGROUNDS AND DOING THAT PUNCH LIST THAT WE KNOW WILL BE THERE.

SO A COUPLE PICTURES OF THE SITE. ON THE RIGHT SIDE, YOU'LL SEE THAT STAFF AND VISITOR PARKING ON THE LEFT SIDE, YOU'LL SEE THAT BUS LOOP. IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT DESIGN JUST AS A RESULT OF THE SPACE.

AND THEN SORT OF IN THE FOREGROUND AT THE END OF THE CLASSROOM, WINGS WILL BE WHERE JUST LIKE THE PLAYGROUNDS WILL BE THERE AS WELL.

SO BEAUTIFUL SITE CONNECTS US VERY NICELY TO THE MIDDLE SCHOOL SITE.

AND THEN IN THE BACK, IN THE VERY BACK OF THE PICTURE, YOU CAN SEE THE JOHN THOMAS WAY COMING IN.

THAT'S ALSO WHERE THE WATER LINE CAME. SO THAT WILL STOP FOR NOW.

IT WILL BE OPEN WHEN SCHOOLS OPEN, BUT THEN WE'LL CONTINUE ON DOWN TO THE HIGH SCHOOL AS THAT PROCESS GOES ALONG.

HERE'S JUST A GROUND LEVEL PHOTO. AS YOU CAN SEE, THE PARKING LOT IS FINISHING UP AND YOU CAN SEE THE EXTERIOR OF THE SCHOOL REALLY STARTING TO LOOK LIKE A SPACE THAT'S STARTING TO LOOK FINISHED. AND WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

VERY EXCITING IN THE GYM IN THIS SCHOOL, WE SEE THE GYM FLOOR HAS BEEN INSTALLED.

WE'RE STARTING TO SEE SOME PAINT ON THE WALL. YOU'LL START SEEING SOME THE LOGOS BEING INSTALLED HERE VERY SOON.

AND IT'S REALLY STARTING TO LOOK LIKE A FINISHED SPACE IN THIS, IN THIS PICTURE.

AND THEN THIS IS ONE OF OUR CLASSROOMS, AS I MENTIONED BEFORE CASEWORK AS WELL AS CEILING INSTALLATION AND OTHER WORK IN THE CLASSROOMS WILL BE SORT OF THE NEXT MAJOR STEP COMING AS WE GO FORWARD. AND THEN WE'LL FINISH UP WITH OUR RENOVATION OF CTC HULL.

THIS IS A GREAT PROJECT THAT ALLOWS US TO EXPAND OUR NUMBER OF SEATS FOR CTC, CTE STUDENTS TO NEARLY 1000 TO 1000 STUDENTS.

THAT IS AGAIN, ON BUDGET AND ON TRACK. YOU WILL NOT SEE AS MANY EXCITING PICTURES IN THIS, IN THIS, THESE SLIDES IS REALLY SORT OF IN THAT REALLY FINAL DEMOLITION PHASES HERE.

BUT WE ARE ON, ON TRACK AND ON BUDGET READY TO BE, WE'LL BE READY TO BE OPEN NEXT SCHOOL YEAR.

AND SO IF YOU DRIVE BY CTC HALL ANY DAY OF THE WEEK, I DO EVERY DAY GOING HOME, YOU'LL SEE LOTS OF DUMPSTERS FILLED WITH WHAT USED TO BE THERE.

I THINK A LOT OF OLD OFFICES. RIGHT? MAYBE OUR DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT OFFICE AT SOME POINT IS NO LONGER THERE.

SO WE'RE RENOVATING THAT SPACE AS WE COME FORWARD AND WE'RE STARTING TO LOOK LIKE THIS WHERE THINGS HAVE BEEN PULLED OUT.

YOU'LL START, YOU START SEEING THE FLOOR THAT WILL BE AGAIN RECOVERED WITH NEW CARPET AND NEW WALLS.

AND WE'RE IN THIS KIND OF SPACE RIGHT NOW. THE LAST PICTURE WE HAVE.

THIS IS JUST OUR THE PICTURE OF THE FOOTING FOR THE NEW ENTRANCE TO THE CONFERENCE CENTER, WHICH OF COURSE IS A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF THIS PROJECT AS WELL, THAT SEPARATION BETWEEN THE CLASSROOM SPACE AND THE CONFERENCE CENTER. SO THAT'S COMING UP AND WILL BE A BIG PART OF THAT AND BE CONTINUE TO BE VALUABLE FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

SO THAT'S MY EXCITING PICTURES THAT WE HAVE GOING FORWARD.

I'M HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE AND EXCITED TO WELCOME YOU TO COME VISIT.

[01:05:05]

WE'RE HAPPY TO TO WELCOME YOU AS WELL. AWESOME.

THANK YOU DOCTOR WODICKA, BOARD MEMBERS. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? MR. PARANTO. THANK YOU DOCTOR. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING UP WITH YOU TOMORROW AND SEEING THE ELEMENTARY AND THE HIGH SCHOOL.

1Q OF THE THINGS YOU HAD HIGHLIGHTED, I THINK WAS FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL WAS ONE OF THE CLASSES, THE CLASSROOMS YOU SAID WAS AN ENGINEERING CLASS. IT'S AN ADVANCED MANUFACTURING. ADVANCED MANUFACTURING CLASS. I THINK WE JUST LEAVE IT AS IT IS, AND THEIR GRADE IS COMPLETING THAT. I MEAN. THINK OF THE COST SAVINGS.

I'LL TELL YOU, I'LL TELL YOU.

YOUR TEAM AND THE LEADERSHIP, THESE MULTIPLE PROJECTS.

THERE'S A LOT TO JUGGLE AND A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON AT ONCE, AND YOU'RE PULLED IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS.

AND SO THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT GO ON BEHIND THE SCENES IS WHAT I'M GETTING AT THAT THE GENERAL PUBLIC MAY NOT UNDERSTAND THAT.

I DO GET AN INSIGHT TOO. AND SO JUST, YOU KNOW, WITH THAT BEING SAID, APPRECIATE YOUR LEADERSHIP AND YOUR TEAM SUPPORTING YOU TO MAKE SURE THESE PROJECTS NOT ONLY STAY ON TASK IN SOME CASES UNDER BUDGET AND ON TIME, WHICH OBVIOUSLY IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT SO THAT WE CAN OPEN UP FOR OUR STUDENTS.

SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THAT. THAT'S VERY KIND. I SHOULD HAVE SAID AT THE BEGINNING, BUT THERE'S A TREMENDOUS NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT ARE INVOLVED IN THESE PROJECTS. JOHN, OUR DIRECTOR OF CONSTRUCTION IS BEHIND ME. AND HIS TEAM IS INCREDIBLE.

WE ALSO HAVE AN INCREDIBLE TEAM WITH OUR PARTNER AT MVP, WHO IS OUR CONSTRUCTION PROJECT FOR THESE VERY LARGE PROJECTS.

SO REALLY THANKFUL FOR THE SUPPORT AND THANKFUL FOR A WONDERFUL BOARD AND LEADERSHIP AS WELL.

THANK YOU. I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU AS WELL, AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE RIBBON CUTTINGS AS THE REST OF US, I'M SURE CAN'T WAIT EITHER. SO I WILL BE GETTING ON YOUR CALENDAR TO COME TAKE A TOUR OF BENSLEY.

I THINK DOCTOR HIGH IS GOING TO ACCOMPANY ME.

SO AWESOME. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
