At this time, we'll hear from Dr. Harris. >> So, we just want to take uh some time for the senior team to bring you a consolidated u back to school report. It's not extensive and exhaustive. It's just a brief overview of some changes you
003might see. And we want you to be aware. We know you all get out in the schools, you know, for pre-planning. So, we want you to be aware of some of the positive things that are happening, but also some changes. Um, so we're here to share. It's going to be myself, Miss Hilton, Miss um Gillis, and Miss um Hatchet to share some updates. I'm pleased to share how we are elevating professional learning in our district through a modern, personalized, and impactful approach called microcredentiings. Micro credentiings are short targeted certified certifications that validate our teachers specific skills and knowledge so that they can thrive in the classroom. It will have a variety of offerings. If you kind of see what's on the screen, there's items under um literacy, math fluency, STEM, but it's a wide range
004of options. Why are we doing this and why does it matter? Because we believe in investing in our teachers and investing in instructional excellence that matters. So as we continue to invest in our educators development, micro credentials offer us a strategic and modern tool by personalized learning for our teachers, recognizing their excellence and ultimately driving student achievement. This work is reinforced by a powerful commitment by the city council and this school board connected to the 8% pay increase for our educators. This is tied to the work that they have to do in addition so that they can be more equipped. They have to earn required certifications and then they have to implement our high quality instructional materials with fidelity because this ensures that every teacher expands their professional toolbox and expands their content knowledge and
005it helps them in growing their craft in delivering stronger more consistent and impactful instruction for our students. The model also has the personalized learning which gives our teachers voice and choice in their professional learning options. The options are also asynchronous which means they can do them anytime anywhere on their own at the beach anywhere they want they can do them and they can select the options that they want to select. They also gain um strategies that they can use right away um that they can implement in their classrooms immediately. They're short one-hour long course options. To bring this work to life, we have partnered with Ed Webb to launch a structured digital professional learning community that have access to all of these modules which is our micro credentials. the completed their commitment. They have to
006complete a minimum of 15 hours which has multiple pathways that they can select from based on their choice and voice and it's also aligned to our division priorities and also school-based needs to complete the microcredential program. They must engage in picking the instructional strategies, high quality instructional materials, classroom management, and also training as it relates to supporting special populations such as students with disabilities and gifted learners. They also have to um complete it. They will have to complete it by doing a quiz, which is our continual education quiz, and they have to submit a professional learning plan. The options also have multiple choices. 15 hours is the minimum but they can do more if they want to. So we have a tier based approach where 15 hours is a professional badge. So they can get
007that badge and put it on their email to share that they have completed that. 30 hours is mastery badge, 45 hours is a specialist badge and 60 hours is expert. So we do realize teachers would take multiple options but 15 is the minimum. Next, I'm going to give an update on our CTE course offerings. Wow, look at that screen, y'all. It's amazing. As we begin our upcoming school year, we're preparing our students for success beyond graduation. The courses that you see on the screen are the offerings that we're going to offer in middle school. Anything that's highlighted orange are new pathways or new um course offerings. These offer offerings will equip our students with industry relevant skills provide them with real world applications and also align with the high demand of careers in our region
008and beyond. So if you notice the first row is building an industry technology. So that is an offering that will be at our activate um innovate academy which we will have gok one through three and that engages our students in on hands-on technical skills development. We will also have the engineering pathway where students will engage in design and modeling and green architect. We have also added cyber security, aerospace science and also aggra science. These are high school offerings. The first four are part of the motivate academy and then the last one is our traditional STEM academy but we will be offering aviation logistics to help students prepare for aerospace technology and aviation maintenance, aviation aircraft pilot where they will learn about drones piloting and regulations. environmental management where they will study um ecology, outdoor um
009recreation, forestry and environmental services and sciences. And then we have mechatronics which is the study of multiple engineering areas such as mechanical, electrical, computer and control systems all packaged in one course. And that prepares our kids for automation, robotics and advanced manufacturing. And then the last pathway is fashion pathway which helps our kids um move through marketing design and merchandises merchandising. The next update that I'm going to give is about the so grade policy and this is related to house bill 1957 which takes effect 2026 27 school year as it relates to so exams. So under this bill, the standards of learning exam will count as 10% of the students final grades, final course grades in grades 7 through 12. And they're also going to um provide support for clear communications because currently the SO
010is on a 600point scale. They're going to convert it to a 100point scale so it's easier to understand like what is a A, what is a B, what is a C as it relates to that range. Here in Danville public schools, we have been proactive in aligning with these changes, staying ahead of the curve. In fact, since June of 2022 and our policy IGCA and regulation IGCAR, we already had that in place for high school. Their final grade, their so was 10% of their final grade. So, it won't be a change a change for us. So, we're going to prepare expanding this this upcoming school year in grades 6 through 8. So, we'll have that in place early implementation to ensure that our families are prepared and well informed. The Virginia Department of Education plans
011to release a chart that shows the grade conversion from the 600 scale to 100. They haven't released that yet. So, we will continue with our existing DPS grading conversion chart until that is released. And then the last update is on the new math HQIM. And I'm going to highlight this. Um, last month, actually in May, Mr. Jack Fun gave an update about the high quality instruction material adoption and he brought it to the board for approval and we have implemented some components. So as of July we have had materials delivered to our district site. We provided training to all teachers on July 14th and 15 on their materials and the district staff. We will continue that in August as well on August 5th and then we will also have the materials delivered to all sites.
012Currently, KDUm, Sgage and Pearson have been delivered to our sites and we distributing them to the schools and mass space materials are expected to arrive by August 13th, but they all have access to the digital materials and we will ensure that they have the printed first chapter of the book. This is just a reminder of what those materials were and the pictures of them. They all are aligned to the 24 23 24 um so standards is to boost um student engagement, problem solving, and it's rigorous and is aligned to the standards. Next, I'm going to turn it over to Miss Hilton and she's going to give an update on operations. >> Okay. Good evening, operations department. You know, we're not busy at all right now, so I only have a few updates. >> We would
013like for you just to um be recognize the new faces that you'll see in our schools, our new administrators that will be in our buildings for the 2526 school year. Um our new principal, Sharita Williams, at Arnett Hills Elementary School, and her new assistant principal, which will be Gary Lawson. So, look for those new faces as you as you make your rounds. Um, at Activate, uh, Britney Scott is our principal at Activate and Tabitha Cash is her assistant principal. We welcome them. And then at Gibson, uh, we have two new assistant principles at Gibson Elementary School, Sarah Turner and Kelsey Tonsel. And then at Westwood, we have two new assistant principles um who are familiar faces with Danville Public Schools, but we welcome them into these new roles, and that's Cameron Stone and Daryl Owens.
014At GW High School, we have two new assistant principles, Cassandra Fleming and Ryan Russell, and they have hit the ground running over at GW High School. At Rise Academy, we welcome Dr. Rosie Span Johnson as the principal of the Rise Academy. And um this year we have a bus administrator who will be helping uh with bus administration and with their uh bus discipline uh to make sure that our buses are um safe for our students and that is Miss Hope Adams and she's really excited about her new role. And she will also be overseeing afterchool programs at Glenwood. We will continue this year. This this started in January of 2025, but we will continue the Park Avenue student ridership pilot program where those students will have their badges and lanyards. They can use those to
015check in on the buses, also to in the cafeteria and for other their library books and for other events and activities. Um, and it's a it's a great way to document the usage and and where our students are at all times. And then this is just to inform you that uh beginning in early spring, early early spring, we as a district come together and meet start off monthly, then we start meeting weekly, and now we're meeting daily to uh look at our district readiness action plan. And in all of our departments, each person has has a role u and they sign off that they've completed those actions and we do go through those on a daily basis starting with our student support services for example making sure that our cores was ready for our students.
016Um Mr. Cheney had his department has a lot of things that they accomplished to get us ready for the new school year. athletics and then if you want to click over to the going pretty fast there Marcus >> human resources u that's in terms of making sure that we have all of our staffing complete if you go to finance and nutrition making sure that uh we've got everybody hired we've ordered everything that we need to order um all of our cafeteria staff and equipment and everything is in place for our school nutrition department um Dr. Dr. Harrison is even on our list of tasks that she completed. >> That would be all complete. >> And yeah, Dr. Harrison is all complete. Um and uh and then if you go over to required notifications, there's some
017things that are mandated that we have to make sure that we have posted in our schools. Um and uh get out to our parents and our our community members. So those are all things that we are working on. And as you know, we're working very hard to get our new schools open and all of our schools open. So, I just want to take a minute to please if you see any of our um folks from the operations department, our custodial services, please Marcus's team, please make sure that you thank them because they are working so so hard to get our schools ready and we so appreciate them. Thank you. Now we will give you some updates from the finance department. So as far as payroll is concerned, we do have some enhancements to improve payroll
018clarity and employee understanding. And these include we're going to have new pay codes to help distinguish between the different pays the different types of pay we have for people because we do have more than just your regular pay. So we have different pay codes on the payub. We're also have in process of redesigning our payubs to be more user friendly for our employees. Um we've created a resource guide currently um that is out there on our website to help employees understand their payubs called how to reach a DPS payub. It's out there online. Um and we additionally are going to introduce optional flexible play pay flexibility for our 10-month weekly employees that will allow them to get continuous pay during holidays and spring break to reduce financial disruption. Next we have our school facility rentals.
019So um starting this year we'll be using Brightley software to automate our school facility rentals. This system will enable us to um book online with um um individuals to book online and make payments online as well to improve efficiency. We have a dedicated staff member who will manage all the rental um requests and to ensure smooth and consistent operations. and we will launch our portal on August the 1st. All right, next up is school nutrition. So, effective July 1, 2025, there was a Virginia law that went into effect that prohibited the use of styrofoam food containers um by large vendors and schools in the National School Lunch Program. So, um that ban went into effect, like I said, July 1, 2025, and it includes plates, cups, and trays. Uh DPS is already in full compliance
020because we have switched to the approved alternatives for school nutrition. Um this is a proactive transition that helps us to avoid daily fines and supports the environmental sustainability. Next up we're talking about our DPS catering and concessions. So um we're excited to launch our DPS catering services educatoring we're calling it on August 1st officially. We have already um some of you have already tasted some of our um food that we had this week at GW and at Glenwood. Um we have renovated the kitchen at um Woodro Wilson and we have a a prep kitchen at Glenwood to help service the catering. Um the catering manager is in place and the menus and logistics are being finalized right now. Um DPS um is the is the first point of contact for for catering for events, internal
021events, but outside bins will be used if they have been approved. Um, and for concessions, we are going to have a concessions management service that's going to kick off on August 22nd at the first. Actually, it's the 15th because I think we have a scrimmage game on the 15th. So, August the 15th is actually the actual day we will start um at the football at the football stadium. We're going to have a concessions manager who has been hired who's going to be responsible for menu development and volunteer training as well. Um, and that will begin in early August with the training for the volunteers. And we're also implementing cashless transaction software to streamline operations and to improve the customer experience. So people will be able to use uh tap to pay or credit cards for
022the concession stands. [Music] Human resources. >> Good evening everyone. >> Good evening. >> Oh wait a minute. There we So, I'm going to talk about recruitment. Um, still we proud that we have 100% fully staffed both administrators and teachers. Um, with that, again, we want to thank our principles for supporting those endeavors. And we're going to incorporate having our principles go to our job fairs. Um, this year, what's going to be upcoming, we're going to have three virtual recruitment events in addition to our um job fair. So, we're going to see how that's going to work out. Um, and then we're going to develop partnerships with eight colleges and universities to increase engagement in our applicant pool. And lastly for recruitment, one of the things I want to discuss, we're going to increase engagement with
023using our social media platform. So we already got the LinkedIn going, but we want to make sure we have Facebook and everything else. And that completes my um portion of it. >> Good evening. So I'm going to talk about and provide a a lens evaluation update. Next slide. So we are currently using our I teach program. Um and that program has been really really successful for us this year. Um as a result of that program, we currently have 49 teachers enrolled in that program. We have seven teachers that are completing the program and becoming licensed and we have five who have who have completed the coursework this summer and are waiting for final grades to complete their certificate. So, we're really really excited about our TE I teach program which allows um folks to come
024in to education from an alternative route. So, we're really really excited about that. Um next slide. We also want to talk about our mentoring new teacher program and we're excited about what we've done this year. We've had two celebrations this year to build that connection. We had a winter mentor mentee celebration and we had over a hundred um folks to attend. Then we had an end of the year celebration when we had over 150 to attend. We had great retention results as you can see here. Overall new teacher retention rate is 91.4%. Uh our retention for teachers attending is 75% plus our monthly meeting percentage is 96%. Our goal was to strengthen our partnership with our principles through aligning year-long support. And we feel that we've met that goal. And we're also excited to just
025talk about how we have sustained and maintained um our mentors. We have currently over a hundred mentors right now um from last year as well as um this upcoming school year. Um and lastly, I want to talk about our benefits. We are super excited about what is happening um in our benefits area. We do have our benefits um person here with us this evening, Miss Ketta Lipkcom. But we are super excited about what's happening. Um, if you can click there, Jason, just on that double link, I want you all to see what you would see as an employee when you would come out and look at our benefits offerings. Doesn't that look good? Y'all can say, "Yeah, that looks good, though." >> All right. So, we're really excited about that. We're excited about the fact
026that um it just gives our employees easy access to navigate our plan summaries. They're going to have quick links there to look at to carriers like Anthem, AFLAC, and VRS. Um, they're going to have direct access to forms, um, contact details and enrollment resources. This is really, really great. And also, this helps with recruitment as well as retention because if folks are coming to look for a job, the first thing they want to know is what are my benefits going to look like? So, we have that information there. Um, Jason, if you can go back. Also, we are really really excited. Um, we want to educate and make sure this is good right here. And we want to make sure that our employees just know what's what we're being what's being offered. So, we do
027have coming up starting um this month, we're going to have some sessions where our employees can gain information on um our current for open enrollment um where we'll have the opportunity to review current benefits as well as they'll learn about new voluntary plans such as the hospital coverage, AFLAC, pet insurance, which is a big big thing that people are asking for because you know people have furry furry children. Um also another positive we are so excited that we are able our premium rates are decreasing um for several dependent tiers this year. Um and this specifically in this area is where employees will see lower rates is employee plus child, employee plus children, employee plus spouse and employee plus um family. These savings are reflecting our continued efforts to negotiate sustained high quality plan options for
028employees and their families through the local um choice at them plans. And in summary, we've made benefits more accessible with our updated website. We've made we've added more personal personalized coverage options through AFLAC and nationwide. And we made family coverage more affordable um with lower dependent medical rates. Um and this these cheese changes align with our goals to be competitive uh to be a supportive employer and to demonstrate that we value our employees not just as staff but as people. So this concludes my presentation. Thank you. >> Thank you. Any questions? Any questions, comments, remarks? Miss Walker? >> Yes. First of all, thank you all for the updates. Um the only question I would have I do know we have a lit of um programs in regards to school choice, but in regards to the
029Go Tech pathway for a parent that may be listening, is there a specific step even though I know that time has um closed as far as a student, but what steps would they take if they wanted their child to be a part of that goatee program? So we have a choice application that they apply for during the we have three windows. We have one in the fall which is in all October to December. We have another window that's January and then we have a summer window that's in June. So they would complete the application to go to that program. >> So are they given this information throughout the year to kind of know like the directive to which in order to apply for their student or it's just a matter of them looking in that
030school choice catalog? We send a ch the school choice catalog to every resident in Danville. So all everybody who lives in Danville get a copy of that applica the um choice guide and we also have it on our website and do we do have updates for principles. >> Thank you. Yes, ma'am. >> Dr. Williams, another one for you, Dr. Again, thank you all again for the presentation. It was very in-depth. Um I'm very excited for the upcoming school year. Question about the microcredentiing um two-part. Uh will that go coincide with professional development days? Like is that what teachers will be doing or is it something completely? >> It's different. So that's what they do on their own. We still have the professional learning days which is kind of where we have like um district required
031things and then choice options the microcredential they can pick any things that they need to grow as a leader and we have like some parameters where you have to do like the HQIM at least one of those you have to do one strategy one special population but there's many different options and choice like hundreds of choices that they can select from. >> Sure. And then do those courses count towards like uh points and stuff towards lure and stuff? >> Yes. Yep. They all count to lure. That's why we tiered it. We did the minimum of 15, but you know, some people need 60 and some can go beyond that to get all their reertification points. Y >> sounds good. Thank you. >> Awesome. >> Miss, >> thank you all for the presentation. Um, just a
032couple of quick questions as far as the school choice programs. Yes. Um, with the motivate and the innovate and I just want to clarify. So, the the enrollment window as of right now for the upcoming school year to start in a few weeks is closed. >> Yes. >> Do we know or do we have maybe an estimate on how many students are enrolled in the motivate and innovate? Not off the top of my head, but I I can get that to you. Yeah. >> Awesome. Thank you. >> Yes. Thank you. >> Any others? Any others? >> Thank you. >> Awesome. >> Next, we'll move to item 4.1, federal funding update. I'll turn it over to Miss Gillis. >> Good evening once again. Uh, so today I'm here to present a federal grant update. Um, as
033you all aware for the 2526 school year, several education grants are currently under review and have been temporarily delayed. Um, this impacts funding for programs such as professional development, English learners, and adult education. It's important to note that core federal federal education funding is not affected by these delays. And this includes the IED funding for special education, title one funding for low low um income students, Perkins funds for career and technical education, and then the title four part B and then title five for rural schools. These funds will these fundings are not impacted by the delay. Um, just to give you an a breakdown of the federal grants of our portion of those federal grants that are under review. Um, title two part A funding is $525,000 approximately. Um, title three part A is a
034$27,000 allocation. And this grant really supports our English language learners. Title uh four part A is $339,44 and this grant supplements the title 2 efforts. And then we have our adult and basic um literacy grant. That's $79,61125. Those were our allocations from the previous year. And so right now we do not know what our allocation for this current year would be due to that delay. Um but we are actively monitoring the status of those grants and working closely with our contacts at the BOE and the federal agencies to make sure that we can provide updates whenever we know of any changes in the funding status. >> Any questions? Any questions? Thank you. Move to the next item. Item 4.2, tax withholding on miscellaneous pay. [Music] All right. Um, so currently we issue our miscellaneous pay
035on a separate midmon check. And this is for people who get paid monthly because our employees who get paid weekly get their miscell they they get all of their pay every week. And so for monthly paid employees who perform extra work or miscellaneous work um they get know from the previous month they get paid the next month midmon in a in a separate check and this includes pay for extra duty um overtime professional development stipens after school tutoring and summer school. So the IRS provides two options for um how supplemental pay or miscellaneous pay is with is taxed. So option A is to include supplemental pay in their regular monthly paycheck and this would mean it would be taxed according to the W4 elections. However, for our DPS employees, this would result in a one-mon
036delay instead of approximately two week delay in receiving their extra pay. And then there's option B and that's to issue a separate checkers which is our current um process. Um and the pay is taxed um right option B is to tax it at the 22% flat um tax rate um instead of at the regardless of what the W4 says because it's a separate check. And so back in the spring we did um provide a survey to staff members to um to find out um what they preferred and the majority preferred the 22% flat tax rate because they wanted to make sure that they had enough withholdings um on their on their federal taxes. And you know previously to to now if a person people you know would call back and say well I changed my
037mind I don't want to 22% anymore. But for this year starting July one based on our um we are implementing the new standard based on best practices um from and guidance from our power school einance consultants and recommend recommendations um you know by the IRS um guidelines. So we will withhold the 22% flat tax rate on all miscellaneous pay. Now, this will ensure that that we are in IRS compliance and that we ensure that appropriate federal withholdings are made. Employees can reconcile um their tax withholdings when they file their taxes in April. And just to clarify, FICA and state withholdings still apply as they always have been. And also just to clarify once again that this is only on their miscellaneous pay, not their regular paycheck, but the miscellaneous pay for extra work performed. And
038it does not impact weekly paid employees who are like our bus drivers, cafeteria workers, custodians, maintenance workers. They get paid every week and their extra work is included in their regular paycheck. Are there any questions? >> Mr. P, >> can you um go back and name those departments that get paid weekly? cafeteria workers, custodians, bus drivers, bus monitors, and maintenance workers. >> Okay. >> Now, as for the ones this with the misalignments, could you break down how it would be a month behind? >> So, currently currently our monthly paid employees get paid at the end of the month for that month and we process that payroll like a week in advance. Correct. So, >> they get paid like for the end of August, they get paid from the 1st through the end of August. So,
039and we process that payroll a week in advance so that they can get it on payday. But if they work overtime, we will we wait for that, you know, they they submit the overtime for them or their extra pay at the end of the month for the previous month and then we process it in the middle of the month because we have to have time to get the information in from the departments that they work for and then we process at the middle of the month on a miscellaneous pay. So, if we were to move it to be included in their regular check, they would have to wait till the next month to get that pay. And when we did the survey, we also asked that question and the majority of them wanted that get
040they like the middle of the month pay because it gives them a separate check in the middle of the month instead of waiting till the next month. >> Any other questions? >> Thank you. >> I'm going request that we have this in uh in a work session. >> Okay. >> Thank you. Next, we'll move to item 5.1, committee updates. Turn it over to Miss Walker. >> Good evening. This will be our policy update, policy review during the June 18th meeting.
