001Mhm. >> Everyone, please silence their phones. >> [snorts] >> Good evening, everyone. I hereby call this regularly scheduled session of the Logan County Board of Education to order. Today is Tuesday, June June 23rd, 2026. It is 5:00 p.m. In attendance, we have Mr. Ralph Rodighero, Mr. Mark Keyser, myself, Anthony Dean, and joining us by phone for his final meeting, Dr. Pat Joe White. Uh >> Thank you. >> At this time, we'd like to ask everyone to please stand. And Pat Joe, I'm going to ask you to lead us in the pledge, brother. >> Okay. I pledge allegiance >> to the flag of the United >> of the United States of America, >> States of >> and to the republic >> for which it stands, >> one nation >> under God, indivisible, >> indivisible, with liberty
002and justice for all. >> Please remain standing for a brief moment of silence. Thank you very much. You may be seated. >> All right. >> Uh Item number four on the agenda, communications. Uh we have uh one presentation uh and report to uh go over tonight and it is uh the local school improvement council from Justice Elementary. >> Thank you. Cool. Thank you, guys. >> Okay. Um thank you for allowing me to talk and speak. Um I'm Whitney Ellis, principal of Justice Elementary. I have some of my LSIC members with me here. Uh I have Ray Ellis, Debbie Coleman, Hazel Mollett, Becky Kinser, Leanne Varney, Shayna Hall-Hatfield. Uh we do have several of our members that are on vacation and are working this evening. So, um we do have a few out. We are in
003a 3-year commitment as a comprehensive support and improvement school with the state and we were identified based upon our overall whole school academic performance. And um what it was was our um ELA scores were were low last year and if you look at the academic achievement growth, you will see that last year we had 15% proficient in the school in reading. Uh we have increased this year on the GSA and these are preliminary results that have not been certified yet. And we have moved up to 50% proficient this year. With math, we were 36% last year. We moved up to 41% this year. And um an area that is continuing to be a problem for us, as you would probably find with most schools, is chronic absenteeism. Uh we were 37% last year and we
004the year before and we've moved up to 40 and now we're at 44.1. Three years ago, we were 55% chronically absent and the year before that we were 58. So, we are making gains, but we have slipped back somewhat and went from 40 to 44% chronically absent. And what that does for for students in the school system is it creates um academic gaps, academic learning gaps that we are targeting to fill those gaps with um intensive intervention. Um so, if you flip over to the next page, what you will find with our attenda attendance incentives that we've been trying to do, we make meaningful contacts to parents on a regular basis. We also have a clubs that was actually initiated by our student leadership team this year. We have fun Fridays. Uh we share information
005with parents throughout the year and at the very beginning of the year we give them a folder with a school handbook for the parents and students, and we front load that with an attendance sheet because some parents forget how many days their kids miss from pre-K to say fourth grade. So, we try to make that evident for parents and then of course we do the meaningful contact. Uh we're going to do some initial um and additional sets of interventions that we're going to be making at the beginning of this school year to try to focus more intently on those chronic absences, and especially the students that are at risk. Um as in discipline, we have gone from referrals last year to 28 referrals. And what you will find is that I put everything in the
006system because I will not remember from 1 year to the next if you picked on Ralph or if you were picking on Teresa. So, I have to put it all in the system so that I can remember it. And for the past 2 years, not only has my school operations team, but also my LSS LSIC team, we have targeted classroom disruptions to decrease those to make more meaningful time in the classroom for students and teachers. Um and you'll see that our suspensions dropped. We went from five suspensions last year to one. And that one suspension this year, it wasn't a suspension out of somebody doing something bad. It There were other circumstances cuz otherwise I would have suspended that child. Um our priorities for our academics and for making meaningful contacts with families to increase
007that attendance, we want to um increase rigor in the classrooms and in terms of the instruction they're receiving. We're also wanting to increase student engagement, um strengthen data-driven instruction, and also looking at that data and using it to place students in intensive intervention sessions provided by our staff. Um those intervention sessions are called uh skills walk and small group. And what we do during those top two sessions is during skills group, we go down to where the students are to build them up, and during small group, we sometimes provide accommodations to help them think on grade level. So, skills group is down to where they're at, and small group is helping them to work on grade level. So, we're trying to attack from two fronts on the instruction part. Um we're also wanting to reduce
008that chronic absenteeism and improve improve the overall attendance of the students because if we can get them in the seats, we can get the instruction they need, and we won't have those skill gaps. And then I provided you all some success indicators on how will this be measured? Um the rigor will be done through classroom observations, and I'm sure Ms. Blair will be in the school to do observations with me. I also want my teachers to observe each other and to learn from each other. Uh student engagement is we're going to increase the types of activities that get the students working together so that they can learn from each other. Effective PLC, which is your professional learning communities where teachers examine data and create action steps to move forward. Um intervention effectiveness, that will be
009met through uh walkthroughs and observations. Chronic absenteeism, like I said before, wanting to target those at-risk students at the beginning of the year and have a system where I can meet with parents and find out what are the barriers. I don't want it to be an I gotcha, like come at you harsh. I want it to be a communication as in a partnership. What can we do to help you to get the kids in here more often because you get more base with honey. And overall attendance, just keep the kids coming. And again, this is a three-year commitment being a comprehensive support and improvement school, and we'll start year two next year. At the upcoming year. So, do you all have any questions? >> How often are the letters? >> Uh letters go out several
010times throughout the year. Uh they're mainly friendly letters, and it's like it may say "Did you realize that Ralph missed X number of days of school? If this doesn't seem right, please come in and have a conversation with us." And we do get some parents that come in and have conversations because maybe they didn't turn an excuse in or something along that line. And we try to make phone calls. When we see a student has been absent for like two days in a row or we know that somebody's missed several days, then we make those meaningful contact phone calls to say, "Hey, was just going over the attendance list and noticed that uh so-and-so was absent again today." So, we do it often, but um >> I thought the letters and the the letters and
011the phone calls are awesome because I think a lot of times parents don't realize how quick these are accumulating until you put it in front of them. And I really like I like I like that. I like bringing it to their attention and >> But I want to do it in such a way that it's not harsh because I want them to know that I'm there to work with them. >> That's the hard part, isn't it? >> Yes. >> Um I noticed the last two or three weeks of school at our house the kids say, "We don't have to go now." They said, "We don't have to come." Does that contribute to the percentage of the absentee, or is it not counted at a after a certain point? >> No, absenteeism is all the way
012up until the very very last day of school. Now, I can't speak to what other schools do, but I can tell you that my staff, we set up really fun incentives throughout the last several days of school to increase them wanting to come. So, to kind of bait them in, get them in, make it fun, >> Give me an example. >> We've had a field day. We had a a field day outside. The last day of school, we took them for several hours to the park pool. >> Mhm. >> Um we had field trips that were Saturday field trips, so that it doesn't cut into instructional time throughout the week. So, uh we took them to Dollywood. I think it was May 30th, and then 2 weeks before that, we took third and fourth graders
013to Cosa. So, we're trying to make those incentive-based, good attendance, good behavior type trips >> Do you have >> them want to be at school. But then, we also do like little silly things like fun Fridays. Um they may like the last 20 minutes of a Friday, if you've been at school all week, your attendance has been good, then we may take them outside, and there's special little activities [snorts] outside for them to engage in and to do. Um my counselor purchased big giant connect fours. She purchased a basketball rim that counts how many uh shots two people make against each other. So, we're trying to do incentive things that make them want to be there. Robotics, we had an art club they had. So, we're trying to make the make it to be like,
014"Oh man, if I go every day this week, then I get to go to club." >> So, you kind of word it they got to come every day have able to celebrate. Not just that day. >> Yeah, and if if a student has missed a lot, what we do is if a child doesn't get that incentive, then I would meet with them with my title one teacher, his name was Mr. B, and we would set up goals to help that child be successful in the next coming week to where they can earn that incentive. >> I got you. Great ideas. Pat Joe, do you have any questions? >> No, no. It was an excellent presentation. >> Yeah, I'm I'm Yeah, I'm I'm very impressed with the with the strategies you've made on the academic side.
015Uh that's been obviously uh uh a goal across the county. Um so, those numbers look really good. Yeah, I I I'm if somebody could come up with the with the cure for chronic absenteeism, they they'd fix the majority of the problems in our schools, I think, cuz I think that's that's where a lot of it stems from. Um so, um you know, >> For 2 years, we've worked hard on the skills block and the small group. >> Mhm. >> And um we've been really tracking that data hard and trying to move those students around and not keep them in a group they didn't need. >> Yeah. >> So, we've been working on it for for 2 years really hard, and this group of individuals that are leading this now, they have the same drive back
016for that skills block. I know that Miss Blair, we call it win time, and she does, too, and that's a big push that she has, also, was trying to have intensive intervention to bring those students up. >> Yeah. Did you guys put a special emphasis on the ELA to get it get the jump you got? Or was that a focal point, or did it just happen to play out that way? >> If you if you talk to to [clears throat] Becky Kinzer back here, she'll tell you that if you focus hardcore on one, sometimes you dip a little in the other. And we hardcore went after uh reading this year. And that's why our math didn't fall, but our math didn't go up as high. But we did put a hardcore on uh phonics and
017vocabulary and comprehension this year in skills and in win time. >> I think that it's that's kind of a trend we've been seeing though is is we've been seeing greater strides on the ELA side and math is kind of lagging a little bit. So and and I know, you know, once we get up into the secondary school system, a lot of that is getting certified math teachers. I mean, that's just a a problem on the secondary front. But on the on the on the elementary side, I think I think that's kind of Are you seeing that, too? Yeah, it's just >> You find in elementary, a lot of the math problems, you can ask these ladies over here that teach a lot of the math problems, they're just reading problems. >> Yeah. >> And if
018you struggle in reading, not only are you going to struggle with the word problems, but you're not going to be able to set up the math right. So, um we did push hard in reading this year. >> Um anybody else have anything? >> Appreciate it. >> Thank you very much. Appreciate the presentation. >> Thank you. >> You want me to give them a few minutes if they want to light out or Uh we're we'll give you guys a code if you want to light out if you want to. >> Thank you for coming. >> Appreciate it. >> Appreciate you guys. Keep up the good work. >> All right. Uh onto the second part of communications, uh public speakers, were there any signed up to We have no public speakers. Uh item number five, approval of
019the minutes. Uh the minutes from June 9th um were approved uh at the state level by Superintendent Black. Uh Dr. Pat Joe White and Craig Marple were not in attendance. I think that's the Is that the one I I called him by phone on that one, didn't I? Yeah, okay. All right. Now, uh move on to item number six, approval of action items, and I will turn the floor over to Superintendent White. >> Thank you. Um these action items were again previously approved by uh Superintendent Black. Um we have an external contract for uh Miss Linville to provide sign language services for our summer school. Summer school will start tomorrow or Thursday, excuse me. We had to make sure the building was okay with the the rain last night. Um and uh so uh that
020will come out of special ed funds. So, any students that would need those services. Um Miss Cline uh is going to provide administrative support uh beginning July 1st through December 31st uh and again, this was previously approved, and that's part of our takeover piece is that we have uh previous former superintendent um uh work with us. Uh we have a uh MOU with Concord University for teacher uh candidates to be placed here for clinical experiences for their student teaching um at no cost to the county. Um Brain Oakley uh will continue our student accident coverage of what we have, and it'll be $22,000. It was slightly up from last year, but you know, our insurance is >> Oh, yeah. >> [laughter] >> But uh it is sometimes based on that. Um we have a MOU
021with the Office of Child Nutrition uh for our free and reduced price meals and milk for '26-'27. Those costs. Um and uh then the Country Roads Food Cooperative, the winning bids for some of our vendors to provide items uh are listed there for beef, food and supplies, and milk products. Um again, uh you know, with special education uh uh you know requires a lot of specialists that we can't do full-time here. So, we have some contracts uh through Mountain State and others. Uh with New School Scholars provide behavioral services as needed. Uh these come out of county special ed funds uh depending on if the student is not or not. Uh Elevate Learning and Behavior will also provide those and there are two companies and both of them offer similar things and it just depends
022on who's available. And those will also come out of special ed county funds. Uh KVC Behavioral Health Care will provide mental health services uh in our in our schools at no cost to the county. Those are uh billed through Medicaid and other things, but uh that's available and it requires payer approval and all that state to help us out in the school system. Mountain State ESC will provide one act full mental health coordinator uh for 26-27. [laughter] And that's paid out of county funds. Um Curry Base will provide professional development training services focused on instructional strategies and classroom management on August 5th and 6th. Uh that will come out of our Title 1 funds. So, one of the things we're doing uh with Title 1 funds this year is we're not paying for all of
023the summer school pieces, but we're also um working with our teachers. So, we have a teachers academy planned for early August and principals today academy. And so, she's going to be working with them. Those uh with teachers on classroom strategies uh for management and instruction. Uh Mountain State ESC is going to provide educational services by hiring our 10 parent resource specialists for each school. So, they will work uh to work with parents and that's paid out of Title 1 funds and they work about 20 hours per week and uh each of them is about $13,000. So, that's again Title 1 funding. Part of Title 1 is to have parent involvement. So, we have these resource specialists that work with the school. Holy Elementary uh should are traveling today and they're coming back. They attended the
024National Beta Convention. Um it's the the little ones version and the older kids version was last week and I'll share some good news about that a little bit. Um and then New Beginning Missionary Baptist Church requested use of a bus um to go to Fayette County to a conference and we typically do that with uh if you come to churches or volunteer groups to schedule buses and this was a request by a retired principal from Vance so but we did that. Again, the the City of Logan Freedom Festival's going on right now and uh they're using three buses to transport people from different places in the county down downtown for the city festival. Um we didn't have any budget supplements or transfers this uh time. Uh the invoices county invoices were $2,381,435.23. cents. Um CTE
025expenses $14,559.84. Food service $6,022.95. ISA $28,485.66. For a total of $2,430,513.98. So a little less because school's ending and there's a lot of things we're not doing but again as always invoices are available for review. Just uh call Rhonda at our office. Uh personnel schedule We uh employed a an athletics uh professional assistant football coach at Logan High. Uh we had two resignations um for uh Logan Middle and Logan uh both basketball and volleyball. Uh we employed uh some substitutes um listed there. And extended some contracts uh basically um to to get some work done that we needed done by the end of the year um to have a additional support especially like evaluations of special ed students and and uh to get some end of the year things done for principals. And Katherine Ellis
026runs she has a contract for 230 days to 240 days beginning July 1st and that's because she does title one pre-K things but she also is kind of our uh summer school coordinator and and keeps all that going so we get to have her semester days. There's a correct correction Leanne Markham uh will be um will stay at fourth grade at Loving Elementary and then we had some resignations listed there. Another correction that the date the effective date was mis- mis-correct on the previous agenda. We have a retirement at Buffalo Elementary and I'm not going to read uh 90-something names. Oh, it's over 100. 133 names of the new substitute pool hires. Um that's that's good news for us that we have a nice pool of substitutes listed there. Uh summer school as student participation
027allows we hired subs for that if needed. And then we have some transfers and those are listed there as well. And again we'll be continuing to post jobs through the summer as that's the written transfer season and and as we look at numbers in some cases we might have to hire some people back that sort of thing but uh uh we're we're really excited about that. Service personnel we employed bus operators and substitutes for maintenance and handyman and we had some corrections um there as well. We have changed the um some start dates on a couple people and we had some resignations, retirements and again another pretty starting list of service from secretaries and custodians to bus drivers and aides. And five transfers as well. So um >> We got to advertise them all. >>
028Yes, they're all busted up at the mall. >> Yeah, we we usually do that every year. >> Well, it's about every county has one somewhere. >> Is it an option? >> Well, maybe not. >> It's a great It's a great thing to talk >> I I've sent several people by the bus to get get that number. >> Okay, so um that's our personnel schedule and the policy says previous to be approved. Um my report for tonight, first I want to congratulate Logan High School's Trinity McDavid. She was selected as one of six West Virginia students and 10 overall to receive the prestigious Yeager Scholarship at Marshall University. That is [snorts] a big achievement and we want to have her at the next board meeting to honor her. What this means is Trinity, she plans to
029major in English. The scholarship includes tuition, room, board and I think even I call it ice cream money with my kids. They have They even get some money for spending and a summer to study abroad at Oxford University. That's just amazing. And we are wishing her the best and hope to see her at her next board meeting to honor her officially. Um then Marshall announced this I think on Saturday, so we're just getting this news. Um we're in the final stages of completing an agreement with Southern West Virginia CTC to offer EMT program and I hope that's on the next agenda as well. Um and it will be in partnership with Ralph R. Willis. So we've added three or four new programs this year. Three? >> Three new programs. And future leaders. >> Future Future
030Leaders is coming out here as well. So we were able to keep that and just have that one location. >> Mhm. >> Um [clears throat] summer school will begin Thursday for the students. We're scheduled to start tomorrow, but due to weather last night we had to inspect all the buildings and and and make sure there were no water issues. Um, talked a little bit about Holden Elementary being at their Beta Club convention. Uh, Logan High School's Beta Club traveled nationally last week to compete nationally and we had several students place in the top 10 nationally from Logan High. Uh, Kenzie Long placed fifth couldn't place in painting. Um, Abigail Hogan, eighth place in mixed media art. And Daniel Boone placed eighth place in 10th grade US history. So, I guess they did some sort of
031thing to do with US history but again and we had many other students place but these were the three that placed in the top 10. So, um, once again Beta is such a positive thing that kids and we heard some great stories about how these kids um, made new friends with, you know, and uh, some kids that were kind of shy and stayed off to the side but they all had a bunch of lifelong friends after going to this conference or uh, >> Do we do like something or anything for like these high achievements or >> Yeah, we can. We can certainly >> On the on the state level they're they're recognized during our like the thing we had at Chapmanville, they're recognized during that. >> I'd like I think it'd go a long way
032they got something from us whether it be a a plaque or especially for like the Marshall the Marshall scholarship. That's a big deal. And the Beta also but just something you know, recognition acknowledge them a little bit. I think it'd be it'd go a long way with them. >> That's a great idea. We can certainly make that happen. Um, and again I talked about students from Holden attending this week. Um, want to congratulate the Logan High baseball team for being the runner-up in the state baseball tournament. They played hard. Um, we got to watch them but it was a uh, they represented us well. >> Mhm. >> And in terms of the sportsmanship and how they participated. Um we did we did have some fun minor flooding today. You know, according to the weather we
033had 5 in of rain in a few hours. Um D. Hugh had some creek wood chips in the building. We have a few offices and some supplies there. There was some flooding in the creek where the creek filled up and the drains couldn't drain. So it was brown water. So we know it wasn't the roof, but some minor flooding there. Um And then uh then we had a few minor leaks at Logan. Logan high no more. And again, I think the extreme weather and the the amount of rain that fell in such a short period of time may may have contributed to that. The poles are being set today at Man Field. They're putting the concrete in the poles in the ground. >> Good news. >> And the wiring and lights will be installed as
034soon as they They're set. >> If we get a lift that was tall enough to get the lights down >> I think they have lights that they Yeah, they they they've got the lights. >> What are they talking about? God's man, it was another obstacle. So I think [clears throat] they're like 60 ft. >> Yeah. >> Mhm. And I don't even have a truck. The phone company doesn't go up 60 ft. My trucks don't go that high. >> I think I think they've got a plan to do that and uh I think they've got some lighting that will work well. Um and some other things regarding uh places, the elevator company is finishing up the first phase of work at Logan High School. So you know, as we've mentioned before, I mean again, we're doing
035a lot of maintenance that you don't go, "Ooh, that looks great." You can't see it out front or whatever, but you know, all of our elevators so we're in are very old some of them, but they're finishing up at Logan. Um and once and once they they finish up the Logan elevator project, they're going to move to Man and do work on that. And then we've had some minor upgrades at some of the other elevators in the county, but those two schools needed the most work. Um and that's part of our overall maintenance plan for the county buildings. Um >> [snorts] >> We are um don't really have a lot to report on Logan Elementary right now, but I have instructed our architectural firm, which is BMM, to reach out to the fire marshal's office
036to get things started to see to get some clarification regarding uh what their office would require for occupancy and what things that might be beyond what the insurance might pay for. Um we've not received the final report from the insurance company at this time, but uh we felt like we could at least go ahead and get our architect talking to the fire marshal about things today and get the ball >> Are they being cooperative about when you all request to fulfill your when you request that they come in? >> Yeah, they're being cooperative, but they've not really I mean they've provided some things, but it's not anything that's >> [snorts] >> concrete yet, but it's moving in the right direction. But the fire marshal's office will be able to reach out to them and again
037>> All right. >> you know, our architectural company can look at any kind of documents we receive. So >> So you're saying they can go ahead and start >> No. No. No. No. No. No. No. >> [laughter] >> We got to figure out how much is what's going on. >> this. >> Yeah, cuz uh things are you know um we got to make sure the money is there to do it. So um but again, yeah, we we have uh met with all of the teachers, custodians, cooks, aids at Logan grade and talked about some things they need for their classrooms and some adjustments we're going to make to the how the rooms are used and and uh got a really good plan for that. Um Mr. Kidd and um um Miss Elswick are working really
038well together to to coordinate schedules and that sort of thing and and uh um we're all pleased with how they're uh taking something that they were kind of thrown into and making it work well. Uh finally, I would like to uh thank Dr. Pat Joe. I would like to thank you uh for your decades of service to Logan County, you served our school system in so many ways from the classroom to the central office and as a board member and I wish you were here tonight but I just wanted to congratulate you on your years of service and wish you all the best. >> Thank you. >> And that's all I have, sir. >> All righty, thank you very much. We'll start on the end with Mr. Rob Garrett, do you have any comments today,
039sir? >> Well, no. But I hate to say it right now. Thank you. >> Mr. Keesee? >> I A lot of progress going on right now. Sounds like we've got a lot of moving parts. I was talking to some vocational school staff earlier today and they were talking about how how broad we were getting and uh one of the concerns came up today. So, what about room? Do they have any room over there or what? We've got room to work. We've got room. We make this place go. We get in the room with them. We make We make it So, you know, you see a lot of a lot of good movement in the green direction and uh the stuff that's kind of got us a little stalled right now is out of our control
040and we've just got to wait and see where it falls into and you know, I know we're chomping at the bit to hear the results as much as anybody else. And Pat Pat Joe just like to extend again thank you to you for uh I can't I can't I can't remember that name being being spoken for a long time when it talks about the education system in Logan County. And uh you definitely left a positive mark on it and uh just really appreciate everything that you've uh that you've done and the dedication that you put forth into it. We thank you very much. >> Thank you Rob. >> Uh do you have any comments, Pat Joe? >> Not really. It It seems like 16 years have flown by. And maybe you all will think the
041same >> Yeah. >> when it gets to your turn. >> Yeah. >> Thank you. >> We appreciate you, Pat Joe. Um >> Thank you. >> Uh yeah, on a personal note, you know, Pat Joe's the the only one that is still on the board from when I got on uh four long short years ago. >> [laughter] >> Um we uh uh We started out um pretty much my my the beginning of my tenure, you know, getting taken over by the state and uh I've looked I've looked to Pat for for a lot of answers because of his vast experience. Like Dr. White said, you know, decades in the classroom and the uh administrative offices at central office and then as a board member. So, he's he's dedicated his life to the to the kids of
042Logan County and um there's there's um there's not a whole lot you can say other than other than thank you. So, um we appreciate that. Um >> I would like to thank you. >> Yes, yes, sir. Absolutely. And and you're you're welcome back at any board meeting uh uh that we have anytime you want to come back, Pat Joe. >> Thank you. >> Um Um another note, I'd want to extend on behalf of Logan Regional a thank you to you, Dr. Wyatt. You kind of got us out of a pickle today. We had a um We've had a power outage most of the day at the hospital. Um we we just started uh doing surgical cases at 1:30. We normally start at 7:30, so that's why I'm still in scrubs cuz I I got over
043here last minute. But um our uh our cores were down and the the temps in the cores were rising. And uh our CEO, Justin Turner, uh made a phone call and uh Dr. Wyatt was uh on the spot getting us some access to the cores over at Logan High School and we got to save probably thousands of dollars worth of uh worth of food stuffs that otherwise would have went bad, so appreciate you helping us out on that. Yeah. Yeah, Logan Regional's done a they they do a fantastic job in in supporting our our our school system and and I couldn't be more proud to be associated with that uh organization. Um >> do you have like that that are worthwhile? >> Absolutely. Any Any time that we can get through to the community um
044through partnerships with um employers and and um different civic groups, it it it helps the community, it helps the schools. It it just uh it's it's a win-win for everybody involved. >> Hey, I got one more time. >> Yes, sir. >> Um if anybody, you know, we had the bad weather >> Mhm. >> and if we've got any of our students out there that suffered catastrophic loss over this thing, uh I'm sure that if they reach out to us, we can do all we can and try to try going out all we can.
