At this time, I'll turn it over to Dr. Harston right there for a minute. Thank you, Mr. Graves and members of the board. A gift on a cloudy day. More than four years ago, on an icy, overcast day, I was in a conference room working. School was closed due to inclement weather, and everything felt unusually quiet. That's when I saw the shadow of three women at the front door. I wasn't expecting anyone. No appointments, no scheduled meetings, but

003something told me I should go see what they were doing out there. At the door stood Alfredo Bennett Ree, Nita Claybornne, and Gloria Cruz. They hadn't realized the schoolboard office was closed that day, but their unexpected visit turned what I call a gift. They bought with them the most valuable offering, the gift of help. Help doesn't always arrive when you need it. At that time, I was struggling with the deep concern on how will we serve our expelled students. Our students who had received expulsion for a variety of reasons. These students while disciplined for valid reasons were left without access to education. And as we know, expulsion means that you have no access to the school system for a year at a minimum. I believed it was necessary to hold kids accountable, but I also

004believe that we should try, you know, everything that we could to make sure that they had a path forward. As we sat and talked, they had no idea what I was thinking, and I had no idea what they were thinking. But I know the gift of help doesn't come often. So, let's let's explore our options here. As we left our conversation, we would discuss uh over and over again the Jefferson Schoolhouse, a space outside of the formal school system, but align with our shared purpose. So, we kept talking about the Jefferson Schoolhouse and what it could do and how we could help, but we really didn't have an idea about how we would move forward. Later in coming weeks, we decided to go visit the schoolhouse, Jefferson Schoolhouse. And as we did this work, Mrs.

005Reeves, and I'm having a time calling Miss Reeves because I've all known her for 30, 40 years since Miss Alfredo. our team of dedicated volunteers with lots of energy and Harford students. We all decided the best use of the gift of help from the Jefferson Schoolhouse was to serve our students who had no access to education. And over the years, they have not asked for anything from the school system other than the ability and access to help children. They are no nonsense group of educators, mostly retired educators. They use love, discipline, and care to work with our students. And some of the students have entered the program and decided not to continue. They've decided that this is not a structure that I enjoy and they've left the program. Some have refused to even give it

006a try. But those that have have been successful and have seen great gains. And so I thought this year because she's had the children, you know, now for about three and a half years would be appropriate time to recognize Mr. Alfred and her other team members we plan to take them to dinner. So we'll have everyone recognized at a dinner. But for purposes of the board meeting, I wanted to bring her forward because these three ladies three years later were responsible for having three of our students who had no access graduate. And this program again doesn't fall under the official umbrella of the school district. uh but she uh is a benefit to our system, our community, and our children. And these three women who knocked on the door on a cold, cloudy day today,

007thanks to their commitment, three of our students walked across that graduation stage. Not only did you save their lives and their futures, but you also saved their uh importance and value to our community. So, thank you so very much. And I just couldn't let another year start because she's ready. And I'll tell you about this lady. She would call me right before Christmas break and said, "Dr. Harrison, I know we got Christmas break, but we want to start back the day after Christmas, and all I need you to do is get me a school bus to pick up the kids." And they would work after Christmas. Over spring break, they would work over spring break. And so there were not any breaks for the children. And all we um again needed to do was to

008get transportation. She has them sit at the dinner table for lunch and eat as a family to know how you know how to have conversations. She has holiday um lunches and things like that for staff to come by and meet parents. So your work um is just invaluable and as your other team members, we value your other team members and we will take time at the appropriate time to recognize them. So thank you. Thank you. Thank you. [Applause] Hey, I I really thank y'all. Y'all, this is something you didn't have to do. And uh I got to honor my God for this. But I got to tell y'all this, and I say this all the time, and I mean it from my heart. If Dr. Harston had said no. When the Lord spoke to me

009and said we needed to get some of the children off the street, he said, "We need to get some of the children off the street that have been permanently expelled from school." I said, "Hi, Lord." And he said it again. So, I called the board of education and it's so amazing because Dr. Harston didn't even the the lady gave us an appointment, but it wasn't on her book and it was a snow day and it was closed, but it came through. But God did what God said. And and when we ask her, I got to tell y'all this. She does what she can. Cuz if she say no, we can't do no more. She does what she can to help my kids. Thank y'all. I just This Thank y'all. [Applause] Next, we'll move to item

0104.1. Public may address the board. Do we have any signed up? All right. Thank you again. As she's leaving, let's give her another round of applause. [Applause] Next, we'll move to item 5.1, accounts payable warrants. At this time, I'll turn it over to Miss Gillis. Good evening, Chairman Graves, Vice Chair Averett, Superintendent Harrison, and the board. This evening, you have before you accounts payable warrant number 227 in the amount of 1,412,118.70.

0127.1 public notice July 2025. Tuesday, July 1st, 2025 at 5:30m operations, facilities, and planning committee meeting here in the Danville room. Tuesday, July 15, 2025, 5:30 p.m. Student Achievement Committee meeting here in the Danville room. Thursday, July 17th, 2025, 4:30 p.m. Finance Committee meeting here in the Danville room. And also on Thursday, July 17th, 2025 at 5:30 p.m., we will have a regular meeting and also holiday July 4th. Next, we'll move to item 8.1 2025 2026 course. At this time, I'll turn it over to Dr. Kada. Good evening, Chairman Graves, Vice Chair Aver, board members, Superintendent Harrison, stakeholder community. At the May 1st board meeting, I presented an initial draft of the updated student code of responsibilities, expectations, and supports. Since that time, we've had a 30-day public comment period, which did not yield any

013feedback. We did receive additional feedback from administrators, and there was legislation passed by the Commonwealth, which have both impacted the final draft of the cores. I'm here this evening to share those final updates with you all. Board members, you should have a multi-page document which outlines the changes. As I mentioned a moment ago, there was a 30-day public comment period which we which we did not receive any comments. Um, so I'll start with some of the minor updates and work our way to the more significant changes. First, you as you see here, there was an additional photo added to the cover of the course in an effort to showcase even more of our division's rich diversity of educational experiences and our diverse student population. The next set of updates I'd like to showcase will be

014found on page 56 of the course. In an attempt to more explicitly address the skipping skipping of class, we added not going to class as a sign to our disciplinary response guidance. We also adjusted the response intervals for tardies, unexcused late arrivals to school, and early checkouts from school to be more stringent. Lastly, several weeks ago, Governor Yncan's executive order to enact a cell phone free education across the Commonwealth was codified into law by the Virginia General Assembly. School divisions have been tasked with updating policies to comply with the new law. We updated the language of the course to reflect the additional requirements associated with the law. Um for instance, smart devices are also now explicitly included in the um in the legislation and students uh administrators are not to allowed to suspend students from

015schools solely for violation of the cell phone law solely andor policy. So, we removed any language related to suspension from our disciplinary response guidance. These changes are reflected on pages 27 through 29 of the cores. If the board approves moving forward with this version, we will begin the processes that ensure appropriate training occurs for school administrators and staff, that families receive appropriate communication regarding the most significant updates, and that copies will be made available for schools prior to the start of the school year. I'll entertain any questions at this time. Any questions? Dr. Williams. Thank you again, Dr. Kada. Um, just clarifying. So, in the course, there will be language stating that this is the state law for students and parents to know the exact verbage and stuff that's coming. Thank you. Yes, sir. Any

016other questions? Any other questions? This is an action item. So, move. Second. Motion made by Dr. Williams, second by Miss Walker. Any discussion on the motion? Any discussion on the motion? Hearing none, madam clerk, please call for vote. Dr. Williams, yes. Miss Cunningham, yes. Mr. Payne, yes. Miss Walker, yes. M. Yes. Yes. Next, we'll move to item 9.1, recommendation for principal of Rise Academy. At this time, I'll turn over to Dr. Harrison. Thank you, Mr. Grace. Members of the board this evening, I have uh here, if you'll stand, please um Dr. Rosie Span Johnson. I bring forward to you a candidate applicant for uh recommendation rather for the position of principal and share a little bit of information about Dr. Johnson.

Good evening, Chairman Graves, Vice Chair Aver, members of the board, and Superintendent Dr. Haristen. Thank you for the opportunity to present the 2025 20226 certified staffing update for Danville Public Schools. This evening, I'll be providing a brief overview of our current staffing landscape, highlight the schools that are fully staffed, share remaining certified vacancies, and outline the targeted recruitment strategies we are actively implementing to ensure all students start the

020year with a highly qualified educator in every classroom. So, let's begin with celebrating success. As of today, we are proud to report that nine of our schools are fully staffed with certified educators for the upcoming school year. These schools include OT Bonner, Forest Hills, Arnett Hills, Park Avenue, WW Moore, ACEC, Active 8, Grove Park, and North Side. This is a major achievement, particularly in a time when schools across the country continue to feel the effects of national teacher shortages. The work of our principles, human resources, and central office staff has been instrumental in helping us get to this point. While we celebrate the success, we also recognize this there's still work to be done. Um, at this time, we have a number of certified vacancies we're are actively working to fulfill. At George Washington High

021School, we're seeking candidates for four key roles. A project-based learning coach, a cosmetology instructor, which we should be having it soon, a biology teacher, and an instructional coach for math. At Westwood Middle School, we're currently in need of a seventh grade life science teacher. Galileo is seeking a school counselor to support student well-being and post-secary planning. And Rise Academy has two certified vacancies, one in math and one in English. All right. Um, we also have elementary teaching vacancies at the following schools. EA Gibson is seeking a fifth grade teacher. Schoolfield and Woodbury are also seeking a second grade teacher. In total, while our vacancy count is low, we continue to treat every opening with urgency because every student deserve a certified educator who is committed, prepared, and align with our mission to close these remaining

022gaps. Um, we want to recognize our principles who have been taking an active role on hands-on in talent acquisition. Their efforts have been instrumental in communicating vacancies immediately as they occur, allow HR to be um recruit without delay, participating in local and regional job fairs, engaging directly with prospective candidates, and share the unique strengths of our schools, and providing school tours to potential employee employees, offering them a firsthand look at welcoming environments and supporting teams they could be joining. Um these are some um school level actions that has built relationships with candidates to generate momentum in around open positions. At the district level, we continue to support these efforts with broader recruitment efforts such as walk-in Wednesdays. We have interview Thursdays where we offer on the spot interviews to quickly move candidates. Um targeted outreach

023through Indeed and LinkedIn. um strategic collaboration with staffing agencies to strengthen our candidate pipeline and a continued effort to re-engage qualified applicants from the past one to two years reviewing their credentials and gauging their interests in current opportunities. I want to thank you for your continued support as we work to meet our staffing goals and deliver on a promise of highquality education for all students. I'm happy to take any questions. Any questions, Mr. Walker? I don't have any questions. I just wanted to say thank you for the information and the update. Also, Dr. Wimbush, thank you. I think this is amazing. Nine schools fully staffed and I I don't think we could say that, you know, several years ago. I mean, and we've come a long way and it's a huge thank you to the

024HR team for your work. So, let's give them a round of applause for that. Um, Dr. Wimish, while I have you, can you just share a little more about the walk-in Wednesdays and the interview Thursdays, please? All right. So, the walk-in Wednesdays, that's where anyone can come in. Lately, we've have um applicants who want to um understand, you know, what is it like to interview or they need help with their application. So, I sit down or our team, our HR team will sit down, we work on applications, we look over the applications with them, help them submit the application. Um we give tips and tidbits, you know, on the interview process, you know, what should I do? What should I look like? I said, you want to be yourself. Um, and then, um, interview Thursdays.

025That's where, you know, you come in, you have your resume. If we have a vacant position, we do an interview. If we don't have a vacant position, I still want to give that person an interview so that way they can prepare it if there's anything in the future. Right. Awesome. Thank you. Any other questions? Any other questions? Let's give him another round of applause. Awesome. [Applause] Next, we'll move to item 10.1, resolution increasing school board member salary. Um last meeting on June 5th, we had a public hearing and we discussed uh the resolution that's uh presented both uh on board docs and what was presented at the June 5th meeting. This is an action item for this meeting. Board, what's your pleasure? So if we have any discussion with this meeting, should it be done

026right now or? Yes, because it takes a vote tonight. Okay. So right now, yeah, absolutely. With all due respect to my fellow board members, while I'm in support of increasing the board's compensation, I do have reservations about the increase of occurring at this time. As a board member, I understand we should be compensated for the amount of time, effort, and commitment we put into the district. But I also believe that we must show just cause that the change taking place by showing tangible and meaningful improvements in the school system's ability to provide a quality product for the children and the adults that we serve. I believe a person's income should not be a barrier to serve on the school board. Nevertheless, currently I am not comfortable with the proposed amount based on the timing and

027research data. While the district has made tremendous strides, I feel we should continue to work seamlessly with the superintendent in successfully completing the task we are currently working on as it relates to the new strategic plan and to monitor the progression of the district and the board success and based on those findings considered increasing compensation for the board at that time. Thank you. Any others? Any others? This is an action item. I move. Second. Motion made by Dr. Williams, second by Miss A. Any discussion? Any further discussion on the motion? Hearing none, madam clerk, please call for vote. Mr. B, yes. Miss, yes. Miss Walker, no. Miss, yes. Yes. Mr. Yes. Thank you. Next, we'll move to item 11.1, finance report. At this time, I'll turn it over, Miss Gillis. Good evening. Once again, you

028have before you the revenue and expenditure statement for the month month ending May 30th, 2025. You also have the reappropriations report for the carryover funds for the month of May. In addition to that, you also have the textbook budget as well as the school nutrition budget. If anyone has any questions about this report, I'd be happy to try to answer them. Any questions? Any questions? This is an action item. So move. I second. Motion made by Mr. Payne, second by Dr. Williams. Any discussion here? Madam clerk, please call for a role. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Next, we'll move to item 11.2526 to 202526 budget amendment. Next we'll um next we're talking about um the budget amendments. So every year we come forward and request every year we come forward to request the approval

029of budget transfers between functions and to make revenue adjustments to budget balance the budget as necessary to close out the fiscal year. So we're asking that again this year for fiscal year 2425. um transfers to date have been added to the um administrative section of the agenda for your review and reference to make just so you can see what those transfers look like. But we will be making additional transfers um over the next couple weeks to close out the fiscal year. Any questions? Any questions? This is an action item. Second. Motion made by Mr. Payne, second by Miss Cunningham. Any discussion hearing? None. Madam Clerk, please call for a vote. Mr. Payne, yes. Miss Cunningham, yes. Miss Walker, yes. A yes. Dr. Williams, yes. Mr. Gre, yes. Next, we'll move to item 11.3, adoption of

030the 2526 operating budget and CIP budget. [Music] Good evening again. So, um, we're here today to ask for approval of the superintendent's budget request and the CIP budget. We had, um, the state has come has now presented us with a final budget for 2526. We received our cap 2 last week and we have crunched our numbers and we made slight adjustments to the budget superintendent proposed budget based on the state final budget. Um I I want to refresh our memories on the budget and start with um the strategic plan theory of action. I'm not going to go through every one of the slides because we're all familiar with that. But our budget is aligned to the strategic plan and we have our mission vision and beliefs of the board that also is aligned to our

031budget. We have our budget priorities for 2526 which include improved student achievement, safe school environments, support services for learning, improved facilities and investing in our employees. As far as improved student achievement is concerned, we have investing in the classroom. We have our high quality instructional materials, instructional pair professionals and smaller class sizes as well as our lit literacy and math instructional coaches. We invest in reading on grade level with professional learning um reading teachers and after school and Saturday school. We invest in our career pathways and career lessons by increasing our college and career readiness um for all students through increased courses for CTE and for our and through our um innovate academy for middle schools which will be opening in the fall. We have our safe routes to schools which includes video cameras on

032our buses um bus assistance to support bus drivers, ID badges to um for kids who board the bus. We're doing a pilot with that and we also have provided administrative support to for discipline referrals and for parent communication. For as far as our tier one safety is concerned, we are have ordered our additional metal detectors um for GW high school. We have 911 inform in place right now. We have increased our cameras in the classroom at the high schools and middle schools and enhanced hall monitoring. We have a security analyst who monitors cameras. We have increased training for security guards, improved video camera systems, and improved administrative school safety and we have enhancements um with the with our safety plans for student um attendance, behavior, and mental health. We have our social workers in place,

033our face specialists to improve family engagement, improve support, support for behavior, mental health liaison services, um increased support for nurses and for families, and for support for graduation. We have graduation coaches, transition specialists for EC students. We have adult ed and um and night courses. And we also have increased our access to career pathways by adding several new um career pathway courses. We all know about our facilities that are in place right now. We have our three projects that are going on right now as far as GW, Langston, and um Arnett Hills. We also have made improvements at Bonner Schoolfield, Westwood, Gibson, and Park Avenue as well as uh activate Glenwood and Woodbury. So, investing in our employees is is one of our major um goals for this year. We we included in our budget,

034which includes uh a teacher salary increase of 8% which includes the step increase. We have also a 4% salary increase which includes a step increase for our non-eing employees. We are going to reduce our health um health family plan coverage for um premiums for our employees. We have increased our access to the EAP employee access program mean employee assistance program and we're going to continue with our IT teach program for certification. Note that the state budget did include a 3% raise. However, we decided to um bump ours up to 8% for teachers and 4% for other employees. And we thank our city council for uh approving their budget which allowed us to do so. Can you speak to the $1,000 bonus? So, the $1,000 bonus was in initially included in this budget. However, the state

035decided to include that in this year's money. So, and we had asked the city for um a matching portion to for the non-SOQ funded position. So, initially we were thinking the money was going to come next year. However, when the state budget was adopted, they included the $1,000 in this year's money. So, they adjusted our money for this year. So, we'll be paying a portion of our bonuses out on June 30th and the remaining portion out in July because we have we got some of the money this year and some of the money next year. So, we'll be sending those out um soon and a memo has already gone out to staff about the bonuses. M. So, just and you may you just said it. So, to reiterate that the reason being that some of

036the employees will get them June 30th versus is because the allocation of funds that's why. Yes. So the state only allocated bonuses for SOQ funded positions as teachers and those are you know the teachers and this the state I mean the city was it put in the budget for next year to give us the the balance of the money. We initially thought it was going to all happen in next fiscal year. However we got the money this year and so we're going to pay it out this year on June 30th. Thank you for those SOQ positions. All right. So, um, we I I have here a history of our salary increases. So, we can see over the last few years what our salary increase has looked like. Um, in 2021, there was only a step

037increase for all staff. In 2022, there was a 5% increase. 2023, there was a 5% increase. In 2024, there was a total of 7%. We initially got five and then an additional two happened in January of that year in that fiscal year. And then we there was a 3% increase in 2025. So, I just wanted to give you a brief history of that. Um we have our microcredentiing happening right now with you know data analysis hy and interventions implementing required reading plans participating in video science of reading and training to develop uh DK2 and three assessments and then this is a breakdown of our increase to our um the additional budgetary items outside of the salary increases that we um requested of the city. We have our utility increases, transportation increases, increased bus aids. We're

038adding 10 bus aids to um to ride our buses. And then we have security enhancements of $100,000 for a total of $83,000. And so here's a a snapshot of our current year adopted budget versus next year's proposed budget and then the increase. And so this number s changed slightly due to the state um budget adjustments. One of which was the the the funds that we were asking for for next year for the bonus. I mean that we were going to get next for the bonus that reduced our budget slightly because we're all we got the money this year instead. So that was the big change in our proposed budget from the previous version that you saw. Here's a breakdown of where our budget is break broken down by object code. The majority of our budget

039is salaries and benefits which accounts for approximately 78% of our budget. And then here's a breakdown of um the proposed budget um by function. And you have the breakdown there by function for the for the for the total budget as well as the general fund budget because we have to allocate our budget by function. And then here's a breakdown of our CIP cash flow um for fiscal years 21 through 26. And we just show showing all of our revenue sources for our capital projects. You know, we were fortunate enough to get um some grant money from the state. and you know our obviously our bonds passed and we had some additional funds um come through for uh from the state in a couple years ago. So we were able to leverage all those funds in

040order to fund all of our projects. And then the lower half of that report shows you how much money we have spent to date and what we have encumbered and um what our ending balances are for the year. So right now we're requesting approval of the um superintendent's proposed budget including the CIP budget with updates reflective of the final state approved budget for adoption and it includes the aforementioned salary increases. And just so um you also have in your your packet a pay plan that's going to go on our uh our um website that includes all of the new salary schedules for fisc year 2425 I mean 2526. And and I wanted to mention a little elaborate on the pay plan uh before you approve it because oftent times um we we chatted over the

041year and how do we know when people are getting supplemental pay. So what um um Miss Gillis committed to was anytime a person decides to coach um teach an after school program, work on Saturday school, teach an additional class. Uh what she's done is put those supplement schedules in your packet on the last page so you can see. And then um you have page 26 with your high school athletic supplements. Page 27 as your middle school supplements. Um any miscellaneous pay is on page 30. Um your high school academic supplements on page 20.
