001We're gonna joke on her teenagers >> like to call to order the King George uh County School Board meeting with the invocation that is going to be unexpectedly led by Pastor Davis from Tabernacle. Please he had no idea. >> Adam, we have a have a prayer written down for you, but let us be thankful. Our heavenly father, we are thankful for the wonderful privilege we have to bow our hearts and our heads and lord as the scripture says to come boldly before the throne of grace. And we're thankful it is a throne of grace and not a throne of judgment. And so Lord, we ask we come before you uh tonight, we would pray for our school board. We pray for uh Mr. Frank and Lord to Mrs. Hoover and Mrs. Davis. And we pray
002Lord that uh Mrs. Cleveland and Mrs. Scott that Lord you would uh give them wisdom as a Lord sit on this board. We pray for Dr. Boyd, our student representatives, Lord. And Lord, we thankful for every teacher and every student. And Lord, uh we're all made different, but Lord, we're all made to live forever. And so Lord, we are thankful for the wonderful things that you uh bless us with. We're thankful for America. And we pray for our our country tonight. We pray Lord uh for our men and women who are in harm's way. And Lord uh we know there'll not be any peace until the Prince of Peace returns. But until then, may we certainly be peacemakers. Again, we're thankful. We ask you to bless tonight as you work in uh hearts. give these
003folks wisdom and understanding as Lord they uh plan and and work and budgets and all that has to be done students and uh Lord uh even disciplinary problems sometimes and we just ask you Lord to do what only you can do and uh give godly wisdom and we ask it in Jesus wonderful name. Amen. And >> and before we stand for the pledge on behalf of the board, Pastor Davis, we do want to say thank you that you come to almost every single board meeting and you're always willing to serve the board. So, we appreciate that. Thank you. Um, and then we have the Beta Club, King George Middle School Beta Club, um, going to come up front and do the pledge of allegiance with us. Lead it. Wherever you guys want to stand this
004fine to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. >> Moment of silence, please. Thank you. Hey, uh, Beta Club, you you guys can stand still. Um, yeah. >> So, I'm gonna lead us off. My name is Kathy Lion. I am one of the sponsors for the King George Middle School uh, Beta Club. Uh, recently they attended the state convention in um, uh, Hampton Roads, Virginia. This is our third year of holding uh Beta Club at the middle school and so we decided it was time for us to go to the leadership summit which was held in the fall in Williamsburg and then the state convention that was held in February um in Hampton Roads. Um
005you can see the picture there at the top 2526 success. Um that was actually a pin that they're going to come around and give you um that was designed as one of the competitions um at the state convention. The theme was wired for success. So you can see that they have wired um themselves to be successful through the beta leadership pillars or through the beta pillars which are achievement, character, leadership and service. >> Thank you so much. >> So we took 15 seventh and eighth grade students um to the state convention. Unfortunately, not all of them could be there uh be here with us tonight because they are well-rounded students. So a lot of them are at sports activities and so on and so forth. But tonight we do have with us Patrick Hatch, Sultana
006Ahmed, Millie Torres, Cadence, Aurora Hudac who I miss uh Joselyn Whitikin and Arthur Young. And they're going to tell you a little bit. We also have our um another sponsor uh Miss Decker. Um Miss Donaldson and Miss Walquist were unable to be with us this evening, but they're going to tell you a little bit about their experience, what they competed in, how they performed, and what their takeaways were from it. Um engineering was one of my favorite things. We had a few moments to practice before we got there. But one of the big things that I learned was our resources were very limited. So we had to split up the work. So half of us did something and the other half did the other thing. Like um we only had like two glue guns. So
007um another thing is we had to make our structure really stable. So, we did things like add stilts and stuff and triangulation because triangles are very strong when making a structure. And yeah, that we made it very sturdy. in living literature. We all came together as a group to to choose a book that we would that we would dress up as characters from. Together we came together and created this. The book we chose was Harry Potter and the Sorcerer Stone. We were different characters from the book and we had to stand still for almost two hours. That was very tiring. Academically, we we learned that we learned our we learned our strengths and weaknesses as a group and together we came to we came together to form a close-knit group. Thank you. Hi, my name
008is Jocelyn. I'm the secretary of the middle school Beta Club. And during our time at the beta convention, Cadence and I um we participated in a competition called Musiccology. And it was basically they set us up. There were four people in our team and they set us up by in each chair and in front of us we had a buzzer. Whenever they would ask us questions and we thought we knew the answer, we would press the buzzer and we would have limited time to answer. So once we gave our answer, we would either get points or we wouldn't get points if we got the question wrong. And academically, we all learned like a whole bunch of teamwork was used and studying was a big thing to answer all of these questions. We all were really
009happy with the outcome. We got fourth place overall and well, I think all of us had a lot of fun doing this. Thank you. >> Hi. Oh, yeah. Can we go back a slide? >> Sorry. Um, so beforehand we actually had to qualify for this since it was states and so eight teams qualified and it was basically beforehand we had to take like this like timed like 30 minute test on a bunch of different music stuff and it really helped because like two of the members on our team like I was in band which helped with the questions more associated with reading music and then we had a Jocelyn she's in chorus so that also helped and then we just had um somebody who was just really interested in music so we really had something
010to cover all the bases. And as she said, it really helped us learn a lot about like teamwork and problem solving. >> John, >> hi, my name is Sultana and I'm the president of Beta Club. And for marketing and communications, it was a a group of five students as you can see or six, I'm pretty sure. and we had to come up with a way to help us a group of people in our community. We could either choose to do people that that uh have disabilities uh senior citizens or we could do lowincome families. We chose to do lowincome families because we searched up statistics and stuff like about how many how many% do we have in our community and who needs like the most help. not necessarily the most help, but who really needed
011our attention. And that was low-income families. And we put together a project that we only had 2 minutes to present. It could go no less or no more. So, it was strictly 2 minutes and judges had one minute to ask us questions about it. And we chose to help low-income families. We created a like a mini store where people could donate clothing items for them to come and shop if they needed it and also doing drives like hygiene drives and anything else that low-inccome families could need. Um, yeah. So, this project was really cool because I think we went in with like a whole other idea of like our community and then we started researching like King George Moore and we started researching the percentages of poverty. So, I think that we really went on
012a deep dive on how we could help our comm community community and we did our project um based off of like basically like a community store that you could go in and had like a certain like amount of money um like each household and you could go in and buy like household stuff or like things your child needed. And I think it really gave us an opportunity to go in and like broaden our view on how to help people and find more creative ways on helping people. >> Thank you. >> And what was really interesting about it was it had originally been the five of us that were going to pre uh present it, but it ended up only three of us could present it because we had we realized that we needed to be
013at different places for different competitions. So, at first I wasn't going to do it because I had to go into the speech division to do a speech and Aurora also had something and so did Cadence and Emma. So, we were all like preoccupied with something else. So, we needed to come up with a plan. So, at first it was, oh, me and like Aurora weren't going to do it. Then it became Cadence Aurora weren't going to do it. So, it was really interesting to see how we could like work together and think of different ways that we could adjust to the time and everything else. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Any comments or questions from the board? >> Oh, one more. Oh, sorry. >> Don't be sorry. I'm sorry. >> Hi, I participated participated
014in the fine arts category for painting. Beforehand, you had to paint a picture of anything you would like as long as it was in the height requirement, which was 18 by 25. Afterwards, we would enter the uh painting into a judge voting style open judging where four judges would come around and vote each of the paintings in the category. Um afterwards, after the judging was done, you got to um openly view all the other uh entries in your category and others. It was really cool cuz I got to see different art styles of the paintings that were entered and I thought it was amazing to see like different styles. Um hi once again, my name is Millie. I participated for the academics test for Spanish. I got first place in the whole state. Um I
015think when I went in it's basically you go into this room and you take a test like any like an SO test practically. The only difference is they tell you your score so vividly I remember I got a 91 and I went up to hug Miss Donaldson. I was like oh my gosh I passed. I got an A. Right. But then they don't tell you like your placing. They don't tell you you got first, second or third. Right. So then when we were at the actual like state thing at Hampton's, you're sitting down and they're calling they're putting you like in rows of people and they're giving you like your badge, right? So they handed me my plaque and I was so scared to look at it, but it said first place and I was
016really happy. So then you go up and they just call your name and they call you by your school and then they just say your listing. I think academically it showed me my strengths. Um, as that language, it is my native language, but I wasn't that confident in it. Um, and I think it showed me that I was actually good at it. And personally, I think it showed me to believe in myself a little more and to maybe to have that confidence to step into something that I don't know the outcome of, but I still should do it because it's some it's good to try new things. So I think personally it grew me a lot as a person. Thank you. >> Awesome. Thank you guys. >> Did you want to wrap up? >> So
017as somebody who has been in beta for three years now. We started off when when I was a sixth grader. That was our first year of beta. And in the high school there's no beta. And so we would like to talk about it because Beta Club is something that we all really enjoy. We love going out there and uh getting our service hours and volunteering at places where people need us. And Beta Club is something that allows us to do that. As you can see, it also ties in academically. We had to take academic tests beforehand and that really showed us what we were good at and maybe not good at. And I think that we all as a group would really love it if we could have beta club at the high school because
018it is something that we really really enjoy. So maybe that's something to talk about with Dr. Burns. Thank you. >> Thank you. I was going to say that you can talk to that man over there. >> Oh, good. Okay. Thank you. Do we have any uh board comments or questions? Miss Hoover, >> I just wanted to comment that whoever got to be the person laying down still for two hours got the best one. That's what I was thinking. >> You got the best job. >> But great job you guys. >> About the same thing. Go ahead, Mrs. >> Congratulations and lots of hard work we can see is being done there. So, I think it's a great club. Thank you for sharing it with us. >> Yeah. Thank you very much. picture. >> We take
019no picture. >> Oh, okay. Thank you. >> Thank you. All right. Now, we are moving on to public comment. If you would like to speak during public comment but have not yet signed up, please see the clerk now. Public comment is an opportunity for community members to share matters they believe deserve the board's attention. It is a time for a one-way communication to the board, not a form or a dialogue or debate. Oh, she wants to sign up. Sorry. All speakers are treated equally and comments should be courteous, respectful, and related to the school division's services or policies. Audience members are expected to maintain proper decorum. Please state your name and your district. Oh, Pastor Sherman Davis. >> My name is Pastor Sherman Davis and I vote in the Darren District and I want to
020thank Mrs. Scott for reminding me last night at church that we have this meeting. It's always good to have somebody to remind you and uh thank you for your service. The scripture says in John 17 is actually the Lord's prayer. The other one is disciples prayer that we all know but this one is the Lord's prayer. And the Bible says in these words spake Jesus and lifted up his eyes to heaven. There are if you think about a red letter edition of the New Testament of the Gospels, there are about 39,000 words that Jesus spoke in the Gospels. And um the Bible tells us that every word we speak, every idle word that we speak is going to be we're going to give an account for it. Uh there are a lot of times we
021get credit for saying things that we don't say. You know, I didn't say that, you know, but u there are things that Jesus gets credit for for saying that he never said. For example, uh folks say that Jesus says follow your heart. Uh he never said follow your heart. In fact, he said we can't trust our own hearts, our desires because the heart uh scripture says is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked and who can know it sometimes even know hard impossible to know our own heart what we're thinking and uh Jesus said uh not to follow your own heart he says to follow me follow him another one said sometimes is uh be true to yourself and um you must uh the Bible says you must deny yourself if you want to be
022my disciple deny yourself and follow me as self-sacrifice uh it is surrendered personal surrender desires to follow the Lord Jesus Christ another one is believe in yourself and Christ didn't tell us we shouldn't believe in ourselves but there's something more important to believe in Jesus says believe in me. In fact, he says, "Deny self, take up your cross, and follow me. He that believeth on him is not condemned, but he that believeth not is condemned already because you have not believed in the name of the only begotten son of God." Man, time flies. Uh he never said to follow your heart. He never said be true to yourself. He never said believe in yourself. He never said live uh your uh you live your truth. You know how people this is your truth. This is
023my truth. Everybody has their own truth. He never said uh live your own truth. He said ye will shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. Not set you free. And some versions say but I can set you free but I can't make you free. And so u he never said um as long as you are happy as long as it's okay as long as you are happy. Well he never said that. And eternal matters matter most. And my time is up. God bless you and thank you. >> Thank you. And Mr. Dave Riley, >> sorry. Uh Dave Riley, I'm at Madison District. Um I'm also a teacher at the middle school. Um, I'm speaking tonight to support the students that have expressed an interest um or the desire to establish a
024fellowship of Christian athletes group at the middle school. Um, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes group is a voluntary group for athletes that promotes integrity, serving, teamwork, and excellence in their members. Although they are a religious group, as long as they are voluntary and student led, the school board can allow them to form and meet at the middle school due to the Equal Access Act of 1984. Uh, this act allows for religious groups to form and meet in public schools as long as they are studentled and as long as they meet during non-instructional times. The FCA promotes leadership among their athletes. It's a legal and appropriate opportunity for student athletes to celebrate and express their faith in a safe and private group. Membership in this group would be strictly voluntary. And I am personally confident that
025our coaches can be trusted to ensure that membership or non-membership in this group will in no way affect students membership and participation on the teams as athletes. Rather, this group is a separate opportunity for students to celebrate their faith as well as developing a variety of values which are not incompatible with King George Middle School principles. As long as membership is voluntary and the students are not prostilitizing to their peers, but rather attempting to spread their faith through example, the Equal Access Act allows for the formation of such an organization at the middle school and I believe it would be beneficial to the interested students. I encourage the school board to reconsider their policy and to allow the students who are interested in forming the Fellowship of Christian Athletes to form their group. Thank you.
026>> Thank you, Mr. Riley. >> Uh Haley Baker. >> Um good evening. Um my name is Haley Baker. I will be in the Shiloh district. Um I'm here tonight to respectfully ask the board to review the uh residency policy as it applies to families on our road. I want to start by saying I understand the importance of residency requirements. I'm not asking for those to be ignored. What I am asking for is fairness and the opportunity for consideration. Right now, families living on the same street in the same neighborhood are being treated differently based solely on county boundary lines that run directly through our road. One home on Trigger Lane is able is eligible to attend King George County Schools, while others, including mine, are not. From a parents perspective, that feels incredibly inconsistent. My
027husband and I are both graduates of King George County schools, class of 2011 and 2013. We grew up here. We work in King George County. We pay personal property taxes here. And our daily lives are centered in this community. My son is even able to participate in King George uh Little League, which required address verification and approved us based on our address. He is also enrolled in King George County Parks and Rec summer camp. He is already growing up here, building friendships here, and being a part of this community. Yet he is not allowed to attend school here and the contradiction is hard to understand. In addition to the current decision creates a real hardship. The assigned school is approximately 30 minutes away from my job. Uh that is not just an inconvenience. It impacts
028our daily logistics. Child care most importantly raises concerns in the event of an emergency. Being that far from our child during the school day is something we are deeply uncomfortable with. This situation has had an impact on our family that my husband and I are actively exploring. ing options to move into King George County. However, housing availability and timing make that a longerterm solution, not something that resolves the immediate need for our child's education. What is most frustrating is not just the denial, but the fact that there is no appeal process at all. There's no opportunity to present unique circumstances, no ability to request consideration, just a final decision based on policy. However, nearby Virginia school divisions, including Stafford County Public Schools, Caroline County Public Schools are all maintain a formal process that will allow
029non-resident families to request enrollment based on space availability. They uphold residency requirements, but they still provide a structured and fair review process. I am not asking for special treatment. I am asking why there is no similar path here. I respectfully ask the board to review the policy that specifically names Trigger Lane and to consider whether an appeal or a variance process can be implemented for boundary situations like ours because at the end of the day, this is not just about lines on the map. It's about families, children, and being a part of the community that we're already belong to. Thank you for your time. >> Thank you, Haley. Melissa Fipps or Pips, sorry. I call her Melissa. Melissa Fipps. >> Um Melissa Fipps. I'm from the Shiloh District. Um definitely need to get her boy
030in King George County Schools. So definitely do that. I mean, that's crazy. Um I'm here to talk about prom. So there was some announcement. I guess it was made last Friday. I just learned of it today. So just speaking on behalf of the students and the parents. Um, I'm not sure if all of you are following, but they can't have prom on the field because of the new turf. And this was just brought to the people's attention Friday after all the tickets had been sold, which is unfair to students to think they're buying tickets for something and it totally changed on them. Um, the the middle school field is real grass. That's definitely not a proper place for dresses and heels and it's supposed to rain all next week or this week. Is it this
031week? It's this. Um, wow, it came really fast. Um, the other thing is there's there was I guess implications um when you put the new turf down that you're supposed to follow by the vendor. Uh, the vendor recommended no activities be put or be on the field for a certain uh period of time. And apparently they are allowing some things and not others. So that's unfortunate that they're wanting to keep the field um safe because it's brand new. Understand that. but they're not being consistent in their um I guess policy of doing that. So yeah, I think there's probably a better venue to hold the prom. I think that with all the right people involved, they could probably make it happen in 4 days. I think there's lots of places in King George. So I
032just wanted to come up here and hopefully um the school board can help find a better location for prom. Um they just started having it outside at the school, so they had other venues in the past. they can reach out, try to find another venue that better suits the students and makes it fair for the people who brought bought tickets and especially for the students whose last year this is for prom. All right. Thank you. >> Thank you. All right, Mr. Dr. Boyd. >> All right. My turn. Pastor Davis, thank you as always. I appreciate you being here. I think if you weren't here one night, we need to we'd have to send out a search party because you are a staple now. So, we appreciate you, sir. Thank you so much for uh always
033being present. Uh Mr. Rowley, thank you so much for Fellowship of Christian Athletes. We uh when I was principal of the high school, we had a Fellowship of Christian Athletes group there, and I believe they're still uh active and and still doing wonderful things at the high school. So, I certainly agree with much of the sentiment you had there. Miss Baker, I can tell you that we have uh had a lot of conversations about Trigger Lane, although quite frankly at this point it's not Trigger Lane. It's it's it's a unique situation that is involved with many parts of our county. And I I agree with you in terms of uh figuring out a process. Uh we've looked into a lot of different ways to consider that process a lot of different criteria that we can
034discuss uh on um in you know how to include out of county students we have a variance policy here in county we talked about possibly considering that for out of county students I can tell you that this board here this week I don't want to speak for them but they are wrestling with it uh and really trying to come up with uh certainly something for for many of them who I don't know what it is with you, but there's a lot of people that like you. Um I I I would say though that they're all wrestling with trying to figure out how to make sure we come up with a very fair, consistent, transparent approach to this because it's not just trigger lane, you know, it's it's it's how can we make this um fair
035for for everyone involved. So needless to say, right now I think it's going to be a topic of conversation for us, but um you've got the year of many of them and I can tell you we've talked about it quite a bit throughout this week. So uh thank you so much uh for being here. Miss Fipps prom. I've done many proms. I can tell you that um I want to I want to first address a couple uh maybe misconceptions. The prom will not be on the field. So it's not on the middle school field. that's actually on the area that's between the track and the field. And that's um that's a hard surface right now. And then they're going to cover that as well as I understand it. Uh for many years, I can tell
036you when I was principal, the most beautiful prom that I seen at at King George High School was in the cafeteria. Uh and I see some nods. I don't know if anybody else was there, but they turned it into a a beautiful venue. It didn't even look like the cafeteria after that. Uh after that time we looked into places in King George. I can tell you that for the number of students that we have attending the prom now and the size that our school has grown to 1500 students and the number that attend prom, there's not a venue in King George County that will support that size that I know of. I I don't think it that's changed. We were at the Silk Mill in Fredericksburg for a while, but we did outgrow that. Uh
037so we were looking into other venues for a couple years. I think we decided it might have been two years. We were able to do it on the turf field. Uh but you are correct. So there was not a stipulation from the vendor about when we could be on the turf field. You could be on it right away. There was a stipulation on what we could place on the turf field. So the large um dance floor, the heavy barrels that hold down the tent used for over top that that was not able to be on the turf field because of the new material. and you know, we didn't want to ruin that brand new turf field. Uh, so we explored and and I know Dr. Burns has worked pretty extensively with the prom committee right
038now. Um, I think it's going to be a nice event. I do believe that there's a lot of work going into it. A lot of folks that are uh really bending over backwards to try to make it a very good, comfortable event. I honestly think regardless of the location, it's going to look exactly the way, if not better, that it was going to look on the turf field as it's going to look in the new location right now. And it does look like, cross our fingers, that the rain holds off until Sunday. So, I certainly hope that it goes off without a hitch. So, with that, Madam Chair, I'll turn it over to you. >> Yes, Dr. Boyd. Does the whole floor have like is there a floor that's laid out on the grass? Uh,
039not on the grass at all. It's on the hard surf. It's on the uh It's Are >> Are the girls going to be walking on grass during the No. Okay. Because that was a >> I don't I don't think all the way up to the the location. It's either asphalt or >> like the It's not It's not grass at all. >> Okay. >> Yeah. We're the whole area that flat surface area, but also we're going to have a completely square. >> Nice. Yeah. >> Okay. >> Thank you. Okay. Um change any changes to the agenda? >> What? No. Well, we're gonna I don't think I'm allowed to do it. >> What is that? add um policy IA discussion. >> Did you want to put JEC addendum on this one too? Right now, >> what? I'm
040sorry. Yes, >> that we want to add JC addendum. That's the trigger lane policy. >> Sorry, I forgot to ch make that change. Yes, please. >> Yes. Okay. >> Um can I get a motion made? Can I get a second? Do we have to do that? Yeah. All those in favor? >> I can you didn't say discussion. >> I didn't say discussion. said discussion. No, >> you didn't say discussion. Any discussion? >> Oh, any discussion regarding that >> because I'm not sure what you're asking for >> me. >> Yeah. Did >> uh I can't add I don't think I as chair I can add a change to the agenda, but I wanted to discuss policy IA the one that I talked to you about earlier. >> Okay. >> Um instructional material and then she wanted
041to add it to what's JC. >> It's just part of the it's the variance instruction um I want to just delete the trigger lane addendum. So >> So we have two, right? We have IIA add policy IA and then add policy JEC- addendum, >> right? >> IB, >> I mean IB. Yeah. >> Is it IB? >> Yeah, >> IB. Yep. >> So we're adding IB as a discussion. >> Yes. >> Okay, I got it. Thanks. >> Okay. Okay. Sorry about that. Thank you. >> And then any any other changes? Okay. We have a presentation special education advisory committee. >> Yes, madam chair. Dr. Howard couldn't be here this evening. I'm sorry. Oh, yes. Go ahead and vote on the changes to the agenda. >> Then seconded. All those in any discussion? All those in favor?
042>> I I chair votes. Motion carries. >> No, you're fine. Thank you. Um now where are we? Special education advisory committee and annual report. >> Yes madam chair. So uh we are annually required to discuss uh with the community the special education advisory committee. So Dr. Howard could not be here this meeting. So I will just give the brief public announcement about the special education advisory committee. Miss Hoover serves as our schoolboard representative for SEAK. Uh SEAK advises King George County schools of the needs in the education of the of our children with disabilities. They do meet quarterly. So, uh they just met on March 11th, 2026. Miss Hoover, you were at that meeting. And if you are interested in attending the next meeting, you do not have to be on uh the committee or
043you do not have to um apply or do anything like that. All meetings are open to the public. So, anybody that would like to come, the next meeting is on May 6, 2026. Uh there's an opportunity there for public comment and really you can hear what's going on in special education world for King George County Schools. Always a very informative meeting. So if anybody is interested in attending, uh you're certainly able. It's at King George County Schoolboard office. It begins at 5:00 on May 6. And I'll stop there, Madam Chair, for any questions. Thank you. >> Any questions? >> Okay. So, are we doing anything tonight with this approving? >> Uh, no, nothing at all. We're just required annually to, uh, report. Thank you. >> Yep. >> All right. Student reps. Uh, whoever wants to
044go first. I can go first. Good evening. My name is Barcaden and I'm one of the student reps from the high school. Please be aware be this is really long. Just FYI. Okay. First off, many students have concern about the 7030 grading scale. Students feel that placing 70% of the grade on final products and only 30% of the learning process does not accurately reflect how learning actually happens. While final assessments are important, this system puts way too much pressure on the final outcome and does not fully recognize growth, effort, and improvement over time. Because of this, students feel discouraged risk and risk-taking and creativity since one mistake at on a final assessment can heavily impact their overall grade. Second, there are concerns about school safety procedures, specifically that teachers are not required to walk through
045metal detectors while student and visitors are. Students are questioning why sta staff are exempt, especially if the goal is to ensure equal safety measures for everyone entering the building. Third, students are requesting a change in the daily schedule and pastime. Many feel that Mondays are not very efficient academically after the weekend. Most complete their homework over the weekend, so having a Monday academic pass is pointless. While Wednesdays are especially challenging due to the clubs and extracurricular activities, students are suggesting a 30 to 40 minute home room period at the start of each school day or a different schedule with more days. They're also suggesting that pastime be moved to a different block such as third or fourth so that students involved in CGS and CBGS are not penalized for participating in clubs. There are also
046concerns about the dismissal process. Students are asked students are asking if car riders could leave early like normal. They ask this all the time. Another academic concern involves the language requirements. Students are suggesting that the bilingual students who have already demonstrated fluency in other languages should have an option to test out of required languages courses through an assessment rather than repeating content they have already learned. Now, I'd like to share some upcoming events at the school. King George High School World Culture Club is hosting a fundraiser on April 17th at IHOP with 20% of the sales supporting the club. Prom is scheduled for April 18th from 7 to 11:00. And I would like to add students would like a way to get a refund due to the updated location change. The special Olympics Feet Meet
047will be taking place on April 23rd from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Schoolboard members are highly invited and the lighting of the torch will occur at 10:00 a.m. The high school production of Oklahoma will take place April 29th through May 2nd at 700 p.m. while tickets cost $10.

Deca day at King's Dominion will be happening May 1st including a marketing workshop for the students and there is a medical medical career fair ran by HOSA and this will be held this Wednesday during PASS and featuring 15 to 25 specialties to introduce students to careers in the medical field. Yearbooks will be distributed May 11th and 12th for seniors, May 13th, 14th for any other grades, and there will be additional copies sold on May 15th. Last
048but not least, I know we're not supposed to say this, but be aware of the attendance for April 20th. That is the planned senior skip day. Thank you so much for your guys's time. Uh, can I go? >> Yes. >> Thank you. That was great. >> Yeah. Um, so I'm Cooper. I'm the middle school representative and I'm going to talk about this in two parts. So we're going to go from before spring break and then we're going to go after spring break. So, the most notable things that happened before spring break would include the reading at the integrated reading and writing so uh Seals Elementary visited the middle school and the quarter 3 awards day. And over the course of those three days, the day the internet died took place at 6:00 p.m. in the
049auditorium, which me and my fellow classmates participated in. Um then we did spring break which was frankly very breaky. So um what's coming up would be algebra and geometry students are going on a field trip to the FredNats stadium to I don't know who they're going against but we're going to watch a game. Um, the eighth grade dance on Friday is 6:00 to 8:00 in the gym in the middle school. Rising 6th grade family night is 5:30 in the middle school auditorium. Uh, the first of Oh, hang on. Let me run back. Let me run that back. On the 15th, algebra and geometry students are going to the field trip to Fred Nance. On the 17th, the eighth grade dance is 6:00 to 8. On the 23rd, rising sixth grade family night, 5:30 auditorium in
050the middle school. And then on the 1st of May, the science so takes place, which marks the beginning of the so period. And then on the 5th of May, the spring choir concert will take place. That's all I can really say. Thank you, Cooper. You You can finish. Just kidding. That wasn't funny. Nobody left. >> Okay. Moving forward um with the consent agenda to approve the meeting minutes of March 23rd and the disciplinary hearings. Can I get a >> madam chair? Unless anybody has any changes, I would like to make a motion that we approve all of the minutes as submitted. >> Second. >> Any discussion? All those in favor? >> I motion carries. >> Donations. >> Madam Chair, we have one donation for the school board this evening. King George Education Foundation donated $215
051$250 to the annual JOTC Military Ball. I would like to request that the school board accept that donation. >> All right. I'd like to make a motion that we accept the donation from the King George Education Foundation in the amount of $2,500. >> $250. >> Second. Any discussion? Ed, was this you this year? I said, "Was this you this year?" I'm You always donate. >> George Education Foundation. >> Oh, that's what it said. Okay. Sorry. Um, any discussion? All those in favor? >> I >> And donation approved. Thank you. All right, we're moving on to >> Where are we? >> Action items. Thank you. Acceptance of funds, employee bonus. Yes, Madam Chair. So, King George County Schools is preparing itself for the bonus payment that is going to be provided from uh the general assembly
052this year through the Department of Education. Uh Miss Brody, our finance director, has uh provided this action item. I won't read it all. Uh as we've talked before, the state uh payment to school divisions is going to be based on a state share of $1,500 uh bonus payments for full-time SOQ funded positions. You remember this was very similar as last year. Last year it was $1,000 for SOQ positions and then they give you the flexibility to break that down to cover more employees and then also the timing is also uh flexible. So, what we intend to do this year is based on the local contribution that we've received from the board of supervisors through the fund balance conversation, uh, we are able to provide $1,200 bonuses to our full-time employees and $600 bonuses to our
053part-time employees, which we will uh pay out at the end of June. So this evening, uh, Madam Chair, I would like a motion to accept, uh, the SOQ bonus position certification and bonus payment, uh, to King George County Schools. >> Madam Chair, I make a motion to approve the bonus payment and the budget supplement. >> Second. >> Any discussion? >> Do we need to put the amount estimated? >> Oh, yeah. The amount um >> uh yes the amount the total cost of the bonus is estimated at 930,000 930,91 and uh King George County Schools will receive 482,91 in state funds and will appropriate funds in the balance of 448. So we will accept the n the entire amount part partially from local from our locality the other part from our state in the total amount
054of $930,91. >> Right. Madam chair I make a motion that we approve the bonus payment and budget supplement in amount of $930,91. >> Second. Any discussion? All those in favor? >> I. and donation is approved for $930,91 use of fund balance. >> Yes, madam chair. So, uh if you open this budget item, you will see a list of the items that we the one-time expenses uh that we have requested for approval when it comes to our fund balance from FY25. And I would ask for a motion this evening to approve the use of fund balance and the budget supplement from the board of supervisors. Madame Chair, I'd like to make a motion that we approve the use of fund balance and budget supplement in the amount of 1,886,398. >> Second. >> Any discussion? All those
055in favor? >> I. >> And the uh fund balance has been approved. >> King George High School staff the vice refresh. >> Yes. So, this is one of those items that was uh purchased through fund balance. and Hillary has not wasted any time jumping on taking care of this as Hillary always does. Uh so it is my recommendation this evening to approve a motion to pursue a purchase order in the amount of $126,246 for the King George High School staff device refresh. >> I might like to make a motion that we approve a motion. I would like to make a motion to issue a purchase order in the amount of $126,000 Okay. $126,000 246 for the King George High School staff device refresh. >> Second. >> Any discussion? All those in favor? >> I motion
056carries. Staff Device refresh approved. Um, moving on to the King George High School camera upgrade. Yes, Madam Chair. Another item that was in the fund balance conversation. Again, this is a purchase requisition in the excess of $50,000 which needs board approval. Uh this is for the replacement of the high school camera upgrade. It is my recommendation as superintendent to approve a motion to issue a purchase order in the amount of $105,187.88 for the King George High School camera upgrade. Madame Chair, I make a motion to issue a purchase order in the amount of 105,187.88. >> I second >> for the King George High School camera upgrade. >> I second. >> Any discussion? Was really excited about I'm grateful for Miss Half for getting on it. Thank you. Any discussion? All those in favor? >> I.
057>> Motion carries. The camera upgrade has been approved and excitedly second. Okay, moving on to the discussion items. The policy manual updates. >> Yes, madam chair. So, I think we have let's see 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. Is that right? >> Two nine. >> 7 8 nine. I'm sorry. Like I said, I'm losing my sight. I'm getting old. So, nine policy upgrade updates this evening. All from the uh VSBA. Uh, Madam Chair, would you like me to go through them one at a time or would we like to approve them as a batch? >> I'm comfortable with proven approving them as a batch. How does the board feel or Mrs. Cleveland? I think >> we've had an opportunity to look through them. >> Miss Scott, >> um, >> you don't
058have to if you guys >> and you don't have if there's one you want to pull out to discuss, you can do that. We can still do a batch. the other policies. >> Oh, okay. >> Madame Chair, I would like to make a motion that we update the policies as submitted. >> Second. Somebody >> second. >> Any discussion? All those in favor? >> I >> All right. And they are approved. The policy manual updates policy JEC. >> Madam Chair, policy JEC is a placeholder this evening for our conversation about Trigger Lane. Uh this is our school admission policy and I'll turn it over to the board for for any guidance that you may uh want to give me. >> So Dr. Dr. Boyd, as we discussed earlier, um I we obviously still need to figure
059out a way to change the policy to make it appealable and more uh you know access our school more accessible to out of the counties and over after all the discussion we still haven't figured that out. I think we still need some time, but um I at the same time want to make a recommendation that we take the addendum off of the policy. So that's where I am. >> We have a motion. Do we have a second to remove policy? JCA amend >> second. >> Any discussion? This would be removing trigger lane policy. And so I have a question about this because I just want to make sure because which one is the trigger lane policy and and to my understanding when I read it, it was not valid for right now anyway. >> Correct.
060>> Right. So it's not valid. So okay, we're just taking it off. >> So JC is the policy and then R is the regulation that goes with the policy and the addendum is also with the policy. It's in your it's in your packet. It's just the addendum. I just would like to remove >> and and so Aaron has attached it to if you click on the policy JC in the packet >> if you scroll down you'll see JEC addendum >> okay >> below the regulation and really I think it was relevant for a time but honestly a specific policy right now for just trigger lane is probably no longer valid and you know we any changes we make in terms of how we move forward it will not be specific to trigger lane. It will
061be specific to out of county students, variances, however that looks as we as we discuss. >> So would this enol any grace periods that were approved? >> Yeah, in fact, we're out we're out of the grace periods now per this policy. >> Yeah, just a minute, please. Oh, she I think she's think it's okay, right? Oh, you're fine. Thank you. Go ahead. >> Did we get a second already? >> So, I just want to I just want to make sure that So, this is how I understand it. So, this this policy that we are taking off. I just want to make sure the board's on the same page that I am. This doesn't apply to right now. >> This applied to years ago. So, it doesn't matter. >> It does apply though because it's saying
062they can't come to our schools. It doesn't apply now. I think you're both right. So, what this said, >> she's just asking, she's trying to verify >> what it said 20 years ago or whenever this was 2008, 2009, was that there was going to be a grace period where individuals on trigger lane and I don't think any of us any of us up here were around during that time. >> Um, this policy was specific, this addendum to policy JC was specific during that time >> 2009. I think when we remove 2008 2009 I think when we remove the addendum the trigger lane policy then what it reverts to for all of us is policy JC. So we're now back under policy JC for for all students who are seeking admission not >> okay so then
063>> anyone specific >> we just had a discussion and so now we'll vote just to enol the amen the trigger lane policy. Um, all those in favor I >> I >> All right. Triggering policy is now an old. >> Well, step one, step one. >> So, the next thing the next thing we need to do is come up with an alternative admissions policy and we as a a board need to do that. Um, so hopefully by the next meeting and I don't know, >> well, I I would I would ask the board to give us direction at the school board office to maybe pull together a committee or explore some options to report back to you to the school board for review. >> Sounds good. I agree. >> I had a question. >> Yeah, there
064was so I had a question about the JEC policy. Um I know we've had discussions about um how students or children of employees can attend the school but I didn't see that addressed in JC. >> Uh that's actually a practice we have our variance we have a very elaborate variance practice right now. The two variants and and that may be something we can use to discuss this this process further maybe something that the committee that we pull together could use. So the practice right now for variances is is really twofold. Uh you can vary between the elementary school that you go to within King George County. So if you are a King George County resident and you want to go, let's say your your attendance zone is PTOAC, but you want to go to King
065George Elementary School, there's a form you can fill out to request that variance. Uh we review those forms annually. We look at a number of different factors to whe to see whether or not we consider that uh to be approved. That's onefold. The second part of our variance practice right now is that any um and and in policy, any adult, any employee that has a child that works um any employee that has a child uh can bring their child to King George County Schools under that variance uh practice as well. And we review it the same way we do for any inner county variance. Policy JC is where you would find that information. Thank you, Aaron. So you need direction from us in terms of where to go from here? >> Yes, I would prefer
066that. And so so just if if if the entire board is on board with uh the schoolboard staff pulling together a committee uh because there's a lot of moving parts, you know, there there's um a lot of departments that would be affected by a conversation on changing our practice. Uh so I'd like to have the opportunity to pull together some folks at the schoolboard office if that's the direction that the board is would like to give me. and then we'll we'll turn around and come back to you guys with our discussions uh some of the things we've just you know talked about in the process and maybe some solutions moving forward. >> I think that's a good idea Dr. Warren. >> Thank you. >> Yeah and I also add um if there are similar policies
067and other divisions if you could bring those to us so we can look at those that some had mentioned like there's some in Stafford and things like that. Yes. Look at those those policies and how they >> Absolutely. Okay. All right, moving on to committee reports. Uh, Dr. Mr. Frank, >> I have none. >> Dr. Hoover has none. >> Uh, Carrie, Mrs. Cleveland, >> I don't have anything. Thank you. >> I don't have any. >> Don't have either. Um, superintendent report. >> Uh, yes, Madam Chair. So um first the contract for the demolition has been awarded and uh we are moving forward with the demolition of the vocational building. They would like to be in the building working on some of the internal components of the building in May. Uh and then as soon as
068school lets out they be they plan to begin the demolition of the old vocational center. So, I've instructed my staff and anyone else that has ties to the old vocational center in King George County that our official move out date has to be May 1. Uh, and then they're moving in to take care of the internal demolition project and then the external process over the summer. Uh, the RFP for the architectural and engineering design is out on the streets right now. Uh so we are they're taking applications on the county side and as soon as that uh grace period expires then they're going to call over some of us from the schoolboard office and obviously Mr. Smallnick and some of his staff at the county to review those proposals and I'm I'm certainly going to
069make sure the board is aware of where we are in that process when we uh get to that point. Update on the budget. Friday I had the opportunity to go before the board of supervisors. Uh they had a long meeting. I'm sure you guys probably have heard about it. It was from 8 to 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 pm all day long. Uh so we did have the opportunity to um discuss our school division budget and the one that the school board passed. Uh I feel confident in the budget that we've uh delivered to them and and I know they've got some things to figure out on the county side and and now they're obviously wrestling with the reassessment uh the tax rate, what all that's going to look like right now. Um, but as it
070stands, as you guys know, we've really delivered them a slim budget in terms of the budget builder, no new positions. We did have to absorb a rather large health care costs, which we're sharing with our employees. uh and and our one initiative in order to make us competitive and attract and retain highly qualified teachers here is a salary increase that puts us back on par uh with being in the mix and not sixth place when it comes to our surrounding six counties. Uh so I feel confident in the way that conversation went on Friday afternoon. The next step is uh April 22nd. We'll get more information from the general assembly and we'll have a better idea of we'll begin to have a better idea of what state funds are going to look like. We do
071believe our state funds are going to go up. Uh I think by the end of April we'll have a clearer budget picture right now. Uh and hopefully around that time we'll be able to start drafting contracts because we've had conversations about getting those out before our teachers leave which is a common practice. So, we're hoping that this all lines up and that the budget um is is followed through on the state level and also on the lo local level. But I I feel confident with where we are right now. Uh deputy superintendent position is out on the streets. I do want to say publicly thank you to all my staff who for this last semester has pulled a lot of extra weight. Every single department has figured out how to pick up that extra weight.
072Uh I'm very excited with the applicants that we've received. Some very solid applicants. So we'll move into that process probably next week in terms of interviews and uh I'm sure everybody will be appreciative of uh >> some extra expertise and extra set of hands uh on the schoolboard office level. And then finally uh as we sit here this evening there's six weeks of school left. Uh we are post spring break and this is um in school world this is crunch time. This is where you start to see the end of the tunnel. Uh, but you also Yeah, I see you over there, Brooke. You seeing the end of the tunnel. And so, it's that time of year where you get this kind of yin and yang feeling of excitement and anxiousness because there's a lot
073going on and it's and it's coming very quickly. So, our our staff and our students are beginning to stress about the end of the year and final exams. So whatever we can do to um encourage them would be greatly appreciated. Graduation is right around the corner guys in May. So our our actual second meeting alto together in May will be uh graduation. I believe the date is uh May 19th. So with that, Madam Chair, >> oh I I'll I'll stop my comment, but Aaron has reminded me that we've passed discussion items and we skipped our our our the items that we added. >> They weren't on there. >> This is true. >> One was taken care of. >> So we can go back. It's okay. Are you policy? >> I'm finished, Madam Chair. Yes. Um,
074so the policy IB really I just wanted to pull out because Ed was um doing some research for me on that policy because we're hearing a lot of I don't know how do you word do you want to break that or maybe >> rumblings maybe >> rumblings rumors of you know students maybe being discriminated against of their political beliefs within the classrooms. And so I wanted to um bring to light the that policy I A IB and that if you feel like your student your child is being discriminated against for whatever reason, there is a form out there that you can um sign and turn into the admin. And we need you to do that instead of just telling us. We need you guys to go in fill out that form and turn that in
075because that's what we need in order to really truly move forward and make a change if if necessary. And where did they find that form? Uh, that's in our policy manual. >> It is GBLA-F. >> GBLA-F. Is that on our website? >> Yes. Yes. >> The form is >> awesome. It's on our website. Or you can call in the office and or >> we'll direct you in the right direction >> to to get retrieve that form. >> I appreciate that, Madam Chair. That that if you follow that process and submit it that way, I think it'll make it much more efficient. >> Yes. >> And smoother and faster. Okay. Thank you. Now we're on a board comments. Mrs. Rachel Scott, >> I don't have any comments. >> You stared at me. I thought I said
076your name wrong. Just Mrs. Cleveland. >> Um, thank you to We didn't have a lot of presenters today, did we? So, I guess thanks to everybody who came out to to speak and to our beta club. That was really interesting to hear some more about the beta club and lots of excitement there. So, I I really hope that we're able to get one of those at the high school, especially because I guess they're they're eighth graders, so they'll go up to high school next year. Um, couple things that I wanted to talk about. Now, my stuff is all spread out. I appreciate the student reps and your feedback. It's super important for us to get that. Um, I will say one thing. Um, I think that it's important that when you bring feedback, you also
077bring suggestions of how we can correct some things because it's helpful, I think, as well to hear from you, um, as to ways to fix some of the some of the challenges that we see. Okay. Um, but one of the things that I really didn't like hearing is the weapons detection system issues. And I've actually heard um, some other comments about the weapons detection system um, and not being consistent with it. And so I've talked to other board members and I just want to make sure that I'm just wanted to publicly say that we are or I have been aware that there is inconsistencies and that we do need to look into them and be more consistent with the way that we are filtering people through those tax systems. And in fact, I think that
078it's so important that we probably need to have it as a discussion item on one of our upcoming meetings to discuss, you know, what what things are going well, what things we're having challenges about, maybe even get the principles to come in and talk to us about that, see how it's going, what we can do to help, what do they need help with, how can we support them better. Um, h the training of new uh employees that are learning how to use those systems, what are we doing to help them? Um, and I have some other ideas, too. But I think it's important that we we look into that. I'm very concerned. Okay. Because yes, teachers should be going through the weapons detection systems. Yes, staff should. Yes, we should. Right. So, absolutely. >> Um,
079and I guess with that I'm going to end my comment. >> Mrs. Hoover or Yeah. Um, first of all, I'm excited for you guys to be able to go to prom and I'm hoping it's a great event. It sounds like uh Dr. Burns has a fabulous plan B. So, I'm hoping that it's a great event for you guys. Do you know when the date is yet for um I can't remember what it's called, but when you go back to the elementary school you went to. Do you guys have a date for that yet? >> Yes, >> you do. >> Yeah, I can tell you. Give me one second. I think it's sun. >> See who wins. Go ahead. Friday the 15th of May. >> Okay. That's always I love going to those. So, thank you.
080Um, and let's see. Uh, I went actually went to the middle school drama that you talked about. I I loved it. I wish everybody could have seen it. It was hysterical and like I don't know if you went Dr. Boyd, but it was actually great. Um, that was the the event of the week for me. So, um, good job everybody that was in that. Uh and then the last thing um I wanted to say is that once again I do appreciate everybody on the board, all the staff, teachers um no matter what we go through or what we discuss or what our challenges are, we all seem to make it work without being terribly frustrated. So thank you everybody. >> As always, I want to thank the staff and teachers for all that you do.
081Um, and I know this time of year, it's really getting down to the crunch time and I know what you're going through. So, um, also want to thank all of those who came out and spoke tonight. Um, Haley, we're going to do everything we can. We'll see how that goes, but we'll we'll set something up that's fair for everybody uh around to make that work. For the student representatives, thank you for all that you have have uh for all you do for us up here. Uh, I want to congratulate Brooke on a full ride to VCU, >> UVA, I'm sorry, UVA. And, uh, one of her comments she talked about was what's a 7030 policy. We've been talking about that for two years. Something needs to change. Uh, something needs to change. I mean, two
082years of over and, you know, beating this thing. It's it's it's time to fix something. Uh, so we need to to work on that. Uh, I had the pleasure of going to the ROTC ball on Saturday night. I think this was number 27 28 somewhere in that ballpark. Uh, and probably one of the, if not the best, uh, students were not allowed to wear uniforms uh, because of the, uh, conditions out in town or wherever, whatever you want to say there, but uh, we're not allowed to wear uniforms. just a navywide thing and Navy says don't wear the uniform. So um but uh it was a so the girls uh and guys in their suits and long dresses uh doing the sword manual and and the color guard. It was really really good. Um the
083meal was fantastic. Anita Davis did that and this was her first time she's done it and uh since I left uh and it was really really good uh as as always. Um and the guest speaker was Deputy Marini. Uh she's been in the county I guess now at schools for what 20 almost 20 years something like that or close to that. But she spoke about uh pride and you could see the pride that was in that has developed within the students. You can see the pride that they have within themselves, the pride they have with within the instructors, the pride they have within the program and also the pride they have within the school. It was all there. I mean there was probably 200 people there. Uh and it was it was really really done
084well. For those of you who missed it, uh you missed something very good. So, but thank you. >> Yes, that was me. I missed it because I wasn't feeling well. Um Haley and Amy, I see I know Amy and I and I know your husband used to work for company in King George. And I will tell you that um Oh, okay. Actually, I seen him today. Was it today? I told you. I'm like, I'm passing. Is it Sean? >> I was like, I'm passing Sean right now. Um, but anyways, I will tell you like Kathy had her whip out and was ready like we're making it happen and we all took trips down there and and saw the roads and stuff like that. Um, there has been a lot of investment made into trigger lane.
085But I will tell you why is because you guys are King George people. You're King Georgeians is what we keep calling you. And it's hard when we see a face and we we know how much of your families are invested into King George. It's hard for us to turn away, not figure out something that will work for for the county. Taxes, I hate taxes, but it is how we survive, I guess, as a county. Um, and for your family and and children and stuff like that. So, um, that did play a huge role in it. I just I think knowing who they are and what a great family that they come from. Um, Brooke, little Miss Beautiful over there. Um, don't rush. Like, I know you're ready to graduate. It goes so fast and you're
086going to do big and wonderful things with your life. I know. Just take it where you are cuz you're going to blink and it's going to be 5 years past already. Trust me. Ask Ask ask Ed. My daughter actually goes to um a homeschool group thing. My youngest one does. And it's the same school Ed went to kindergarten in. And so it's pretty cool. Yeah. All right. Um so I'm going to read I'm reading this book and it's really great book. I just want to read a little scripture part of it. That's not the Bible. I'm just saying I said scripture um for my board to hear and for anybody else that it would apply to because it really resonated with me and I just want to read it to my board as a team
087cuz we don't get to hang out all five of us like this. But it says, "Our date of death is not the date etched on our tombstone. The day we stop dreaming is the day we start dying. Nothing honors God more than a big dream that is way beyond our ability to accomplish. Why? Because there is no way we can take credit for it. And nothing is better for our spiritual development than a big dream because it keeps us on our knees and raw dependence on God. Drawing circles, drawing prayer circles around our dreams isn't just a mechanism whereby we accomplish great things for God. It's a mechanism where God accomplishes great things in us. Is it possible for a man to dream continuously for 70 years? If you keep drawing prayer circles, the answer
088is yes. May you keep dreaming until the day you die. May imagination overtake memory. and may you die young at a ripe old age. And then I was gonna say like Mr. Frank, but he's still alive. But anyways, all right. With that, we can close. Madame Chair, we went to state code section. >> I just want to go home, I guess. >> 2.2-3712A of the code of Virginia. I move that the board convene in a closed meeting to review hires, substitutes, and resignations as permitted under 2.2-3711A number one of the code of Virginia. >> Second. Any discussion? All those in favor? Hi. Hi. We're now in closed meeting.
