005thought, wow, no events today. No events. And um I received a message. We have a state championship. And typically we have our state champions uh at the high school level. And we were so excited to have a state champion in our track program which is really being renewed at the middle school level for the Eagles. So could you share um information and I want to say a couple of things about Mr. Jason when you tell the board about the event. Okay. Good afternoon everyone. Um well this was um the first ever middle school state championship. We were notified um kind of last minute and um we actually didn't even know we was going to be able to make it, but um with some people putting things together, they allowed us to go and compete, but
006um Jason, he's one of our special guys. Um he came out and at first he was a little shaky with track. We all had to stay on him. Mom called me when he skipped practice and made sure he was there. brought him when he tried to skip, but when he got to practice, he um he did his thing. Um and then couldn't do it without this amazing coaching group we got right here. Um everyone contributed to his success, but um we went up there Saturday with only running one track meet because all of our track meets got rained out. So we only had one track meet. So just going up there on a prayer going to compete against um shoot like over 40 schools and um Huh. Over 100. Over 100. He over 100. Yeah.
007But um he did his thing. He went out there and performed to the best and um got first in the high jump and long jump. And u we are so proud of him. [Applause] And again Jason has made history. But I want to say about Jason. Um Jason is a gifted honor student and Jason um of course his mother doesn't play about those grades. I'm telling you right now and in addition he plays on our basketball team and you will find Jason not only on the track and basketball court but you're going to find him in science fairs with his lab coat on. So he not only is an outstanding athlete, he is an outstanding academic academic student and we appreciate that when he take their studies seriously. So first ever for Damma public school.

Individual presentations shall be limited to three minutes or less. Miss Deborah Anderson.
009Hi, I'm Deborah Anderson and I'm speaking on behalf of my granddaughter. Uh Zoe goes to Activate. This was her first year over there. Uh, she loves the school. It's a great place for her. This is a picture of our one playground item. Our babies need somewhere to play when they're outside. She's on the spectrum and one of her favorite things to do is to swing. And when I go by the school, um, to pick her up in the evening, she's out there just walking around with nothing to do because she doesn't know how to play on this kind of stuff. So, that's my concern and I just hope y'all take it in consideration. And I know we got a lot of new schools going up. They should have old equipment or something. We take anything
010right now and I just appreciate your time for listening. Yes, ma'am. Thank you for coming. Thank you. Next, we'll move to item 6.1, wellness plan. This time, I'll turn it over to Miss Saunders. Good evening, Chairman Graves, Co-Chair Aver, schoolboard members, and Dr. Harrison. I'm going to give just a few updates on the wellness plan. The division will have a wellness council to engage students, parents, and teachers about nutritional services, administrators, and community members in developing, implementing, monitoring, reviewing a divisionwide wellness plan with goals and practices for a comprehensive health and wellness plan. Our focus here is to address the health issues concerns using a coordinated approach in order to improve student and staff health wellness. Health and wellness. Go to the next slide. Our goals are one is nutrition education and promotion. Nutrition guidelines
011for foods available during the school day. Other school-based and community activities that promotes wellness. Physical education and physical activity notifications and communications. engaging the parents, school personnel and community about the wellness program and then actually implementing and monitoring the evaluation of the wellness program. So these are just a few updates. Um vending machines were checked at each school to make sure that healthy snacks were added and available to students and members and this was done twice this year. We collaborated with the Virginia Cooperative Extension. It's a program done at Virginia Tech. Um Jackie Brandon and Shelby Boyd actually came to one of our wellness meetings and talked about this nutrition program that's going to be starting in the schools for the kids. Uh one of the schools actually added a weight loss challenge at Johnson
012with Miss Edmonds. She had a weight weight loss challenge and she's been doing that for years. Even when I was over there, she was doing it. I didn't win. But um the family life educators teach lessons um to the fourth through 10th graders about wellness and hygiene topics, but they are also pushing in the kindergarteners and the third graders. Um all students are required to take physical education class at least once a week. And in the elementary schools, they also have recess time, so they're getting the physical activity that they need. And for safety for all, an increased focus has been placed on students receiving all their immunizations. So um all students students entering school this year this coming year will have to have all the immunizations and immunizations now is my passion. I'll be
013meeting with Dr. Harrison on the numbers. The numbers are decreasing. Um and these are our committee members. Next year I'm going to work on getting more school employees, more staff on the committee. But right now the executive director of students support services, Deborah Harris, Kim Mims who is the director of nutrition. Um, Elizabeth and Mary, they are family life educators. Eban Lee is the United Way um, volunteer. He's also a graduate of AIT. Thomas Glass is a behavior specialist. Sandy and Consuelo work at Virginia Health Department. Um, Jackie and Shelby are with the VTEC um, cooperative extension. Shereekica is the mental health liaison. And then myself. So again, I'm going to work on getting more PE teachers and more staff on the committee. But those are my updates. Thank you, Miss Saunders. Any questions? Any
014questions? Miss Saunders? Yes. You can sign Mr. Graves and I. We'll be glad to help with this fitness. Yes. And the challenge. Just the challenge. Oh, just the tennis. Okay. Thank you all. Thank you. Next, we'll move to item 7.1, resolution increase in school board member salaries resolution. And I just want to touch on uh a couple points in reference to this resolution. Um, in section 22- 22.1-32, code of Virginia provides that members of the school board may be paid a salary that is consistent with the salary procedures and no more than the salary limits provided for members of the city council. Um also in that code it uh it further provides that the school board may establish a salary increase prior to December the 31st in any year preceding a year in which members
015are to be elected. Um the current annual salary for each board member of the school board is currently $5,000. That has not changed since 2014. Um the school board uh desires to increase the annual salary to members of the school board and the increase uh would be $15,000 for a member and an additional 2,000 for the chair which would be 17,000. Um and this will not become effective if approved until January 1st of 2027. Any discussion on that item? Any discussion on that item? Next, we'll move to item 7.2, governance committee update.
