001God, we thank you for the blessing of shaping the lives and futures of students entrusted to our care. We ask for your guidance and wisdom upon the board as they consider and make decisions that affect our schools. We pray that you grant them clarity of thought, unity of spirit, and a vision that always seeks the best for our children. Father, we pray for our teachers. May they be strengthened with patience, creativity, and compassion as they guide students both in knowledge and character. Bless the administrators and staff with discernment and courage as they lead and support our schools each day. Lord, especially we lift up to you, our students. God, protect them as they learn and grow. Keep them safe in body, mind, and spirit. Surround them with encouragement and provide them with the tools that
002they need to flourish. May our schools be a place of safety, discovery, and joy. Finally, we ask for continued peace in our community. And the reminder that we are all working together for the success and well-being well-being of every child. Father, it's in your name we pray. Amen. >> Thank you. Now, we will have the pledge of allegiance to be led by the King George Middle School volleyball team. States for its one indivisible. >> Please remain standing for a moment of silence. Now, I understand we would like a photo op with a volleyball team. If anyone could please come forward for your photo. If you ladies will remain for a minute. I think the board will have has a few comments or questions. Just want to say congratulations for making the volleyball team. There's a

Uh enjoy that. You'll miss it. But thank you ladies very much now. Uh, do we have anyone signed up for public comment? If you would like to speak during public comment but have not yet signed up, please see the clerk
005now or or me. Uh, board public comment is an opportunity for community members to share matters they believe deserve the board's attention. It's a time for one-way communication to the board, not a form for dialogue or debate. All speakers are treated equally and comments should be courteous, respectful and related to school division services or policies. Audience members are expected to maintain in proper decorum. Speakers will be recognized by the chair and asked to state their name, their connection to the school division and their magisterial magisterial district. Each speaker has up to three minutes to comment. Our first speaker of the evening is Sherman Davis. >> Thank you board. I appreciate the privilege to do that. And uh thank you student representatives. God bless you. And I'm just going to read short and sweet tonight hopefully.
006And the scripture in proverbs by the way I'm sure this scripture in proverbs uh chapter 18 verse number 21 the bible says death and life and the power of the tongue. James the apostle calls it the fiery devil behind the ivory bars the tongue. But uh I was thinking in my office this afternoon as I read that verse. The most powerful thing in all the world is time and words. And you can't take either back once they are gone. You ever said something wish you take it back? You ever have wasted day wish you could do over again? Well, you can't take it back. Can't redo it. The past is the past. Words heal or make souls scars. They build or tear down. One sentence can uh make someone's day or haunt someone for life.
007They are free yet priceless. Simple yet powerful enough to change a life. Words are weapons or words are lifech changing. Uh it was because of the word uh the word that says come unto me all yet labored or heavy ladened that now I have something I don't deserve. It's called eternal life. I was thinking the other day and I asked the congregation is anyone going to be in heaven who met Jesus because they met you? Is anyone going to be in heaven who met Jesus because they met you? And we have a mission and a purpose. God didn't save us just to set soak and sour. He get saved us to get busy and do something while we're here. Eternal life. Scripture says that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be
008saved. Beautiful word. I know I'm going to heaven today because of the word and Jesus Christ makes all that possible. All religions can be wrong, but all religions can't be right. All the Bibles you read, all of them can be wrong, but all of them can't be right because they say different things. And so I encourage you tonight as you read the word of God and you speak the words you speak uh build or the words you speak can destroy. So I encourage you speak good words, kind words, encouraging words. Especially, you know, you think about our teachers and school and all that's been spoken every day. I've been told that women speak 7,500 words a day. Men have as many, but uh 3,500. I don't know who I don't know who kept the score,
009but uh it definitely wasn't me. May be true, may not be. God bless you. Thank you. Let me take my granddaughter home. >> Thank you. Next, we have Alexandra Divine. >> Good evening. Um, my name is Alexandra Deino and um, I am a fourth grade teacher at Seals Elementary School and um, I first would like to thank you for the opportunity to come and um, speak. Um, I'm coming before you to um, ask for you to um, evaluate the sick leave bank for employees in the school system. Um, five months ago, um, I lost my daughter to an 8 year battle with breast cancer. And in my 21-year tenure, um, I didn't have to use um, sick leave all that often. Um, I can think of three instances of when I actually had to use
010leave um, for a considerable amount of time. And one of them was when my father passed away. Um, that was early in my career. And three years ago, four years ago, um I actually took one for my first graders, um trying to swat a wasp in the classroom and fell off the chair and broke my wrist. And so I had to take leave then. And unfortunately in that same school year, at the end of the school year, my daughter was in health crisis and I had to um take the end of the school year off. And this past school year, um the same time last year, we didn't know it at the time, but our liver was failing. And um I just would like for you all to evaluate the sick leave bank um as
011I understand it that you can only draw from the sick bank if it's you yourself who is sick and um I think it should be considered that your immediate family um a certain amount of time. I I don't know, you know, what is reasonable, but um you know, unfortunately, I don't have to worry about that anymore. Maybe fortunately, I don't have to worry about that anymore, but I'm just coming to kind of appeal to um many employees. Um, honestly, any of us are one catastrophic illness away from needing time off from work. So, thank you. >> Thank you. >> Superintendent comments. >> Thank you, Madam Chair. Pastor Davis, as always, thank you so much for joining us this evening. Uh it's always encouraging words when when you have the opportunity to speak. You're always here
012early enough to sign up. First, Mr. Deine, thank you so much for for coming tonight and sharing your concern. We have a note. It's something we'll certainly probably talk about tomorrow in the school board office. Uh and we'll get back to you and and tell you what we found out in in terms of uh sick leave bank. So, thank you so much for having the courage to come speak to us this evening. We appreciate it. >> Thank you, Madam Chair. Do I have any changes to the agenda this evening? No. Now, could our I would like our student representatives to please introduce yourselves. Just tell us a little bit about yourselves for uh since this is your first meeting, if you don't mind. And any comments you might have. >> Hi everybody. My name is
013Sultana. I'm an eighth grader at King George Middle School. I would like to thank you all for being here today. Um when I first was uh Dr. Nice came to me about this, I was excited to be here. I wanted to be here and make a difference in our schools. Our schools the it's been going good so far this school year. We've had new changes with how everything is with the metal detectors. It's been a bit challenging, but it's been amazing. The teachers have helped us through it, have taught us how to make it go quicker, what things set it off, and sports are going good at the school tryyous. And that's pretty much what I have all for you. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Jake
014Lover and I am a senior at King George High School. Um, and I have the honor as serving as one of your King George High School student representatives. Um, my role is to really ensure that the student voice is heard as we continue to build um, a safe, supportive, and healthy environment for all of our students. Um, those coming into the high school and those leaving um, whether that's headed off to the workforce, the military, or college. Um, we're excited to see as activities are picking up as we get back in the school year. The seniors had first of their many events with their senior sunrise. Um, and I think that turned out pretty well. We had a good turnout for that. Uh, the football team had their first scrimmage this past Thursday. Um, and
015ROC is getting all of our new recruits. We have about 70 um, new NS1s coming in the program this year. Um, getting them up to speed on rules and regulations. The metal detectors have been a process to get used to. Um, but I'm confident in time that it should be a breeze. Um, just from the first day alone, we have gotten a lot smoother with it. Um, to where students are now more effectively able to hand off their Chromebook, um, take a step through and go on about their morning. Uh, I am working current working closely with principal Dr. Burns to further the safety of our students. Um, in addition to our school advocacy, I've started a nonprofit profit organization for King George County. This was born from the excitement and positive um, response from
016our first ever student wellness fair that we put on last year that was studentrun. Um, and I look forward to setting up a program that will continue on long into the future. Um we take effect of our new pass schedule this Wednesday which instead of after every second block um we will be doing every Wednesday we have a 45m minute block as we we seem that 45 minutes is more um time for a student to be able to go to their teachers to have study hall or for those in clubs to have more times with their club to get um what they need done. So, that will take place this um this upcoming Wednesday and we'll be trying it out for five weeks as we cycle through um first block, second block, and fourth block.
017Um tonight, the Lady Foxes are headed up to Masoponics High School for their first field um hockey scrimmage along with our golf team is at Co Pepper High School. Um tomorrow night, your Lady Foxes will be at home for their first volleyball scrimmage at 6:30 going against Stafford High School. And August 28th is our first um home football game of the season versus Brook Point. Um we would love for the school board to come see um what our high schoolers um as they've been practicing both on and off the field. Um and this is their really their time to shine. Um to put my speech to an end, I just wanted to thank you guys for the honor to sit here and speak on behalf of King George High School. Um and I look forward
018to an amazing year. >> Thank you. And I would like to welcome you both. and thank you very much for your willingness to take time out of your evening to join us and give us all the good news. >> Thank you. >> Coming up next is a review of our consent consent agenda. Did the board have a chance to look at it and does anybody have any comments or changes that need to be made? Make a motion to approve the agenda as presented. >> Second. >> All in favor? I >> I. >> Chair votes I. Motion carries. >> Next up for action is the King George Middle School bus loop resolution. Dr. Boyd. >> Yes, Madam Chair. So, I recently had the opportunity to meet with David Beiel, who is our VOTE representative for King
019George, and al also uh Matthew Small, our county administrator. Mr. Beal brought to our attention that we still had a portion of King George Middle School's old bus loop that was included in the VOTE uh transportation plan. This is the section that is closer to the intersection of Route 3 and 206, almost directly behind the Discount Tire Place. If you've been here long enough, you know that used to be a road that would uh come out on 206. That was still in the VOTE transportation plan and it's no longer a road. So, in this meeting, we discussed removing that from the VOTE transportation plan and now including our current middle King George Middle School bus loop into the VOTE transportation plan. That means it would be a statemaintained road and if we had any issues
020with our bus loop at King George Middle School then uh VOTE would come out to address those concerns. So what I ask tonight from the board and then I believe tomorrow night from the board of supervisors, it is re it would be my recommendation to the school board by motion to approve the resolution uh to direct VOTE to abandon certain segments of the old bus loop and accept the new segment of the bus loop as identified on the incorporated form AM uh 4.3 into the secondary uh system of state highways. And the resolution is is as follows. I I will not read that. Unless you would prefer me to, but uh I've kind of described it in some. >> Does anyone have any questions or would like to make a motion? >> I make a
021motion that we accept the resolution as presented. >> Second. >> Motion made and seconded. Any discussion? >> Yeah, I just want to ask a quick question. I'm sure this obviously helps the whole transportation um situation as far as students are concerned. I mean it doesn't it helps problems and doesn't make them them worse or different. Is that correct? I I would say it helps in a way that if we have any issues with our new bus route, which runs parallel now to 206, then VOTE will be available to to provide any assistance with I think potholes or anything that that's of that nature to that road. And really removing the old section at this point is a is a moot point because it's really no longer a road at all. It's actually a grass field
022now. So, I think in that respect, it it's certainly something that will be helpful for the county school division. Anyone else? All in favor? >> I. >> Chair votes I. Motion carries. Moving right along to our policy updates. >> Yes, Madam Chair. We have 10 this evening. Some of which we discussed last time and and we've brought back forth. Those are the forms that we talked about removing. We brought those back forth with the um policy and regulation attached. Hopeull hope hopefully you've had a chance to take a look at those. I will just work my way through them. If anyone wants me to stop or has questions, then you certainly uh feel free to stop me. Uh the first policy EB is our school crisis and emergency management and me and medical emergency response
023plan. You'll see this theme that I'm about to mention in a few of our policies moving forward. It is now required through the uh uh by motion of the general assembly that we do a few new things in our crisis management plan. The first red area there that you see that's new is that we meet annually during our school safety audit with our uh county law enforcement to make sure we address any concerns that we have in our safety audit. As you work your way down, these are the things you'll start to see in some other policies this evening. We're required now to have an athletic emergency action plan and also a cardiac emergency response plan. Uh which I I will let you know is are both in place at this point. And then finally,
024the the last new part of this policy is uh the bleeding control program, which we've had in place for a while, but this u uh places it in policy. Uh so those are the only changes there in in that uh policy. I'll continue on. Uh, next policy is EBBA. This is emergency first aid, CPR and AED certified personnel. And again, this is a mention of the athletic emergency action plan updated in this policy. And then it talks about the requirement to have at least one um person or employee in each of the building to be prepared to be uh the opioid antagonist. We've talked about this a few times. We have a number of people in our schools that are certified to do this. Uh but this also codifies it in this policy. >> Next
025policy. Yes sir. >> Um so these people are able to use Narcan and they've all been trained in that. >> Yes. The folks Yes. We have to the the policy requires that we have one person at every building. We we have we have more than one. >> Yes. Does it this protect them from any possible lawsuits or defin >> the policy that we approved I believe at our last meeting protects them from any liability associated with uh applying the opioid antagonist. Uh EBBA EBBC is next. Again this is the opioid antagonist. I think our next two policies discuss this. This this talks about uh really the procedures associated with that new requirement from the general assembly. >> This is a brand new policy. Correct. >> This is a brand new policy required by the the
026general assembly this year and you've seen it in some other policies that we've addressed already. The next regulation EBBC-R talks about some of the uh practices and procedures associated with the opioid antagonist policy, storage requirements, uh inspection and replacement of of the opioid antagonist and so on. >> Is this something that that we we came up with or is it similar all over the state? >> Similar all over the state for this one. Right. Uh next is EBCB. This is our safety drills policy. And again uh what this talks about is similar to the first policy, the requirement to have the cardiac uh program and then the annual responsibility to conduct these drills. Same thing for the bleeding control kits. Next next policy um or regulation I should say. This is when we get into
027the forms. These are the ones we discussed last time. The first one is GCBC-RF. Uh so this is the one we discussed last time. Staff benefits is actually the policy that's referenced here. But if you scroll down, the form that we uh requested to be stricken was the the professional employee tuition assistance form. As we discussed last time, we actually use a different form for this. Now, we'll continue to use a form uh for this process, although as we discussed last time, taking it out of the policy manual is is probably appropriate. However, we did include the policy and any regulations so that you guys could see that it was referenced back into the policy. The next one is uh GCBD-R. Again, uh this is staff leaves and absences in terms of policy. Staff benefits
028is also referenced in this one. And if you work down uh the form that we're ask we're asking you to strike this evening is the professional leave request and reimbursement form. And same thing, we'll use this form in another fashion, but uh does not need to be approved by the board in the policy manual. Uh now I'm on LBD-R. So this has been kind of hanging in the policy manual for some time now. It's a regulation that was associated with LBD. We struck LBD some time ago because we have a policy that replaces LBD now which is more thorough. Uh we are now requesting this evening to strike the regulation associated with that policy that we struck. The next one is IKG-R and again this is the same thing. We're striking this policy because we
029have other policies in place right now like the um the literacy policy that we recently passed uh covers much of this information here. Uh and then finally JJ AG this is something that we've done in public schools for for many many years now. Uh but this codifies it in code and really puts it into concrete terms in terms of uh student athlete and extreme heat safety and protection. Uh so you you might have heard things like like uh the wet bulb reading and things like that. So our trainers will go outside, they'll test the temperature and humidity in the air and depending on what that reading is, you'll see the table below in that policy that talks about what type of practice you can conduct based on the heat and humidity in the air. So
030uh that update is is one that's across the state and it kind of codifies it in policy now. So that's the uh last updated policy this evening and uh I can pause for any questions or or a motion at this point. >> Any questions? >> Obviously that last one is a brand new policy for all the schools in the state, right? >> Yes. And and actually it's it's a practice that we've done for many years. >> I have a motion. I make a motion that we uh approve all of the VSBA policy manual updates as presented and that includes the ones um that we are strickening from our policy manual which are I need to say specifically the ones that we're we're deleting. >> Sure. Wouldn't have hurt. >> Great. Okay. All right. which includes
031the uh the ones that we're deleting which is GCB C-R. >> Okay. GCBC C-R >> Oh, not R. >> We're modifying to remove the language. >> Oh, we're not we're not mod. Okay. So, it's just uh GCBC-f. >> Okay. >> GCBC-f we delete. >> Yes. And then GCBD-F and F2 >> and E. >> Okay. Did we delete all those? >> Can you make the motion, please? >> Your office striking IP dash. >> Got those. It's these two. >> These two right here. >> That one >> and that one. That one. And that. >> These were modifying. >> Those are the ones you just mentioned. And then then these >> this one and this one. >> Okay. To strike to delete >> to delete. >> Okay. Then uh part of the proposal our motion is also
032to delete LBD-R and I KG-R. >> Aaron, do you have the motion? >> Okay. >> I I can't wait to read those minutes next week. >> Motion was made and seconded. >> Do we have any more discussion? All in favor? >> I >> chair votes I. Motion carries. >> I should. >> Next discussion item is a work session. Um Dr. Boyd. >> Uh yes, I think we had some discussion at our last board meeting uh to have a work session or two work sessions I should say. I believe the topics for both work sessions. uh number one was uh to have the board the school board get together and uh make sure that we're uh having a a healthy discussion on our facilities uh and the direction that we would like to go in with
033our facilities. Um I I think it was the desire of the board and you can correct me if I'm wrong that we uh have that work session after our next school board meeting which is 18th. Correct. >> What's our next date? Excuse me. September 8th. So that work session after the September 8th regular board meeting. And then I think the second topic that the board discussed at our last meeting was to conduct a work session uh to uh re-evaluate or to revise the evaluation process for the superintendent. So uh I don't know that we discussed the date or when we wanted to do that. I know that we wanted to >> So I think we're going to go ahead and do the eight for both of those topics. And um we will have we have
034prepared the new evaluation at that time so we can talk about it. >> Sounds good. >> What was that, David? >> Have a draft. I have a draft. Yeah. Have an idea. >> Sounds great to me. >> Hopefully we'll do a lot of work ahead of time so that when we come together, it won't be till midnight having these discussions. >> That'd be good. So for the ETH, we'll prepare uh the the business that we have to conduct early in the evening for the regular meeting. We'll conclude that meeting and then we'll uh begin a work session immediately following the regularly scheduled meeting. Right? >> Which we need a motion to do. I make a motion that we um include the work session to take place after the regular meeting on September the 8th. >>
035Second. Motion made and seconded. Is there any discussion? >> It was September 8th. Yes. >> September the 8th, Monday. Yes. >> All in favor? >> I. >> Chair votes I. Motion carries. Now moving on to committee reports. Mr. Bush, do you have any committee reports? >> No, I do not. >> Mrs. Davis, >> no. But our first meeting since school started is in September. So I will then >> Yeah, ours is too. >> Same with mine. My first meeting is in September. So I don't have anything to report. >> I have none either. Superintendence report. What do you got? >> Uh what do I got? It's been a busy week, but it's been a very positive week. So, I want to thank everybody. Uh all of our school staff, all of our board members, we
036had community members, board of supervisors members, everyone really came out and made the start of the year a very positive uh success, I think. Thank you to our administrators here, uh making my way around to our schools. It it really felt like um a lot of good was going on. So, I thank you all for all of the work that went into uh behind the scenes. I know it took a ton of work to make sure that we were ready for the start of the school year. I know many of you are new in your positions. So, uh that that that's not a small load to lift. So, thank you so much for your effort and uh I look forward to an exciting second week of school and and continuing in that vein. So, thank
037you so much and and we look forward to a great year. So, thank you, Madam Chair. >> Thank you. Now, for our board comment, Mrs. Cleveland. >> Yes, thank you. So, um I did some of those remarks. Thank you to the administrators and the staff at the schools. Um, back to school week was really exciting. I got to join in on some of the fun. So, thank you guys for allowing me to do that, working alongside the staff and helping with the weapons detection um, systems, which I know has been, you know, a little challenging, but I do believe and I have seen it go better as the days go by. So, that's that's uh really nice to see that. Um, and helping to make our school safer is what we're trying to do. That's
038the bottom line, right? So, um, as we work continue to work together, I know that, you know, it's all for a good cause. Um, I did have, uh, two constituents that reached out to me thanking the board for putting in the weapons detection systems that their children um, both uh, said to them that they felt more at ease coming to the coming, it was specifically the high school, coming into the high school. So, um, I thought that was a really good, um, you know, thing for us to know and hear from from those parents. Um, I also want to extend my support to specifically, um, the high school or the middle school just because it works within my schedule. If you need support in the morning, I certainly can be available um, and would love
039to do that. It was really a great time being around the kids and talking with them and helping them through the process and just welcome them to the school and then having conversations. So, um I would certainly love to help if you need it. >> Thank you, Miss Cleveland, Mr. Bush. >> Thank you, Madam Chair. >> As I turned it off, I want to thank um uh Jake and Sultana for being here. Thank you. We appreciate it. We appreciate your reports. We look forward to u hearing from you um at the next meetings and thank you. I want to welcome you. Um also um Jake, when you mentioned you started a nonprofit, I mean uh that's that's fantastic. Well done to take that kind of initiative for anything like that. Um even as as a
040high schooler, that's u that's very good. Also want to thank the middle school um volleyball team that was here and leading us um in the pledge and hearing a little bit about the the first practice. And um also want to thank my fellow board members. I had a couple of calls. I left within a couple of days after the last board meeting and did not return until um late Friday night. But um uh I had a couple of calls and comments from some constituents uh about concerns and um they were all handled by either the school and I know other board members handled them and I want to thank you. Um I it's I felt badly that um in the last three years I've been to the first day of opening school and but this
041year I was not. So I apologize for that. But I heard it went extremely well and uh and I knew it would because we had some great administrators and um uh I've also heard from a couple people how that first couple of days of school in terms of the uh metal detectors and and bus routes and so on was um all worked out. it takes uh sometimes a day or two for those kinds of things to work out, especially when there's new systems. So, thank you and uh looking forward to a wonderful um new school year. >> Thank you, Mr. Bush, Mrs. Davis. >> Yes, thank you, Pastor Davis, for showing up when and giving a positive word. uh the volleyball team for coming in. And it's it is always neat when you have you
042can see your children and who they are around a lot of time of the day and be a part of their sports. My daughter was on the volleyball team her first year and so it's exciting. Um Mrs. Deino, we heard you and like Dr. Boyd said, we're going to they're going to look into that and see if there's any fixes that we can make that better. Um the metal detectors as everyone already said that that's going to be you know smooth out within a few oh few few days or so it get it's going to get better and um oh I saw some pictures from PTOIC that you guys had a BMX show and my husband and I were like oh like I got to get in this system of knowing like when that cool
043stuff's happening because that would have been so fun. I kind of grew up in that era too so that looked really cool. Yeah, awesome. Thanks for doing that. Um, thanks for the first week of school. Everything went seemed to go as smooth as possible with all the changes that have happened. Thank you for being willing to work through those changes with a smile on your face. Uh, and and addressing them. Uh, we've heard a lot of good things. I have, at least I should say. Um, also open house was a lot of fun. It was busy, but it was a lot of fun. Everybody was like the kids were hyped and uh and ready. Well, I don't know if they were ready to go to school, but but they were >> Yeah. Um and you
044know what's neat is like we have invited a lot of the students to be a part of the board and decisions we've made. It was the phone policy. They were really involved in that and different things. And so when the false dress code or the old dress code went went out and caused kind of havoc, did you see how many kids were getting involved? So, it's still neat to see even though it was, you know, not the right dress code. And you you send out the right one, but nobody looked at that one. I I'm guilty of that, too. So, uh, and then the convocation was a lot of fun. I actually got to meet German Bushrod for the first time. A lot of people already know him. Uh, I know of him. My kids
045have met him before, but that was just a lot of fun to meet such a down to earth King Georgian and and a proud one, too. So, that's it. Thank you. Thank you, Mrs. Davis. First, I want to thank you thank my board for allowing me to dial in the last meeting because I didn't attend in person. So, thank you all for covering for me. Um, and uh I wanted to thank all of you also for attending all these events the last few weeks as well as the board of supervisors.
