[00:08:48] Our first recognition of the evening honors 22 HCPS programs that earned achievement awards from the National Association of Counties. Each year, NACO recognizes groundbreaking county government and school programs nationwide.

[00:09:04] Henrico County has the most award recipients in the Commonwealth of Virginia for the 20th consecutive year. Tonight, we are proud to honor the HCPS programs and staff who have been recognized for their innovation.

[00:09:22] We have several staff members who contributed to the success of multiple programs, so I'm going to invite honorees to come forward as their program descriptions are read. From the Division of Learning, closing the skills gap, empowering future-ready learners.

[00:09:39] To cultivate deeper learning and broaden the ways students are assessed, students throughout the Division have opportunities for more presentations of learning. Part of the Henrico Learner Profile, these presentations enable students to reflect on their growth, demonstrate their knowledge through real-world tasks, and develop skills needed for lifelong success.

[00:10:01] Accepting the award from the Department of Innovation are Courtney Bostein, Laura Van Bieland, Doug Saunders, Dr. Ann Nash, and Elizabeth Kirk. I'm going to ask these honorees to please remain here for a moment.

[00:10:21] Hands-on robotics, inspiring innovation, equity, and collaboration in STEM education. Since its inception, HCPS's first Lego League Robotics program has rapidly expanded from two pilot programs to more than 40 participating schools, achieving measurable success in advancing STEM education and cultivating critical life skills in students in grades 2 through 8.

[00:10:49] Accepting the awards on behalf of the Department of Innovation are Courtney Bostain, Laura Van Bylen, Doug Saunders, Dr. Ann Nash, and Elizabeth Kirk. But wait, there's more.

[00:11:07] Equipping students with the skills to adapt, innovate, and succeed.

[00:11:27] The program enables K-5 students to develop skills like critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and technology literacy. In addition to our team already present, please also welcome Chief Learning Officer, Dr. Leslie Hughes.

[00:11:51] Thank you. Trick. Thank you.

[00:12:10] Fostering critical thinking through chess. The inclusive Henrico Chess Initiative Expo was created to introduce strategy games to the community, increase participation in academic competitions, and raise awareness of academic paths.

[00:12:48] - Accompanied by Adrienne Cole Johnson, Chief of Family and Community Engagement.

[00:13:03] - Thank you, Adrienne. Specialization Cohort Program: Attracting and Keeping Great Teachers.

[00:13:32] Program participants are four times more likely to remain in the profession than their colleagues who are not enrolled in cohorts. Accepting the award on behalf of the Department of Professional Learning is Chief Learning Officer, Dr. Leslie Hughes.

[00:13:53] And Dr. Hughes, if you'll stay put just one moment, please. A community supports the mental health and wellness of youth and families. As part of Henrico County's Transformative Community Initiative, HCPS is bringing clinical mental health care and related services to school families by expanding on-campus access, providing student teletherapy and referrals, helping staff members become licensed and much more.

[00:14:20] The broad-based strategy is a model for other communities and school divisions. Accepting the award this evening is Dr. Leslie Hughes. From the Division of Family and Community Engagement, Bridging Futures: A Community-Driven Path to Student Success.

[00:14:42] In response to a need for student work placement opportunities and support for families, the HCPS Family Resource Center established a clothing collection and distribution closet at the Oak Avenue Complex. Students gain valuable experience working at the closet while offering Henrico families an important resource for assistance.

[00:15:02] Congratulations to the students and staff in family community engagement for developing this worthwhile and award-winning program. Accepting this award are Carol Arrington Sims, Rebecca Wood, and Adrian Cole Johnson.

[00:15:28] Now for programs led by the HCPS Department of Workforce and Career Development. Get comfortable. Connecting past and present, Historical Trades Student Expo. HCPS trade programs focus on current trends and codes for construction trades, but teachers have limited experience in historic preservation and restoration.

[00:15:51] The Expo enabled students to learn from experts from organizations including Preservation Virginia, Historic Richmond, and Colonial Williamsburg. Accepting the award this evening are Jason Wynn, Jordan Baldwin, Kim Evans, Willie Klein, Arnette Persson, Nadia Gutowski, Jenny Joyce from the Historic Richmond, Emily Loving, and Jerry Baskerville.

[00:16:29] Once again, I'm gonna ask our recipients remain at the dais as we recognize a few other projects in which they were involved. Rock Solid: The Spirit of the Ace Center. The newly renovated and expanded Ace Career Education Center at Highland Springs collaborated with Luck Stone and Home Depot to create a kindness rock and spirit garden where students and staff could express their connection to the new building and spread kindness in the process. Students paint a large new spirit rock throughout the school year and and send positive messages to the center community.

[00:17:05] Accepting the award are Jason Wynn, Jordan Baldwin, Kim Evans, Willie Klein, our net person, Emily Loving, and Jerry Baskerville.

[00:17:27] We're gonna take one quick minute for them to set their awards on these chairs because there are more. Empowering seniors to grab a slice of their future.

[00:17:44] When graduating seniors aren't sure about a career path, what's the best way forward? Research, of course. The ACE Center at Highland Springs partnered with Papa John's to award a pizza to each senior who took 10 essential steps to explore future pathways.

[00:18:00] For example, students may have visited a college, met with employers, or talked with a career coach. Much like Papa John's, this program delivers. Here to accept the award are Jason Wynn, Jordan Baldwin, Kim Evans, Willie Klein, Arnette Person, Emily Loving, and Jerry Baskerville.

[00:18:26] Springer Preschool: Students Renovating for Students. As we know, the Springer Academy Preschool provides exceptional instruction, as well as training for HCPS early childhood education students. To further enhance the program, students enrolled in two summer CTE programs worked alongside construction tradespeople to make improvements to the building.

[00:24:22] Education specialist, Daniel Fancit Stooks, is here to accept the award. Electrifying the current workforce, lighting a path for future careers.

[00:25:23] While HCPS prepares all students for success, the career mega sale was created to meet the career needs of Richmond area adults and contribute to the community's economic vitality. More than 350 area adults and 150 high school seniors attended the inaugural event to shop for their futures and connect with more than 50 local employers, some of whom conducted interviews and made job offers on site.

[00:25:52] Congratulations Bev. And finally, elementary students helped design and build a new school. As R.C. Longin Elementary School prepared for a school rebuild, a month-long If I Build a School project involved all students, families, and faculty in the excitement.

[00:26:16] The school brought in guest speakers from the design and construction industries, and every class engaged in STEAM projects in preparation of a celebratory unveiling. By the way, this project also earned recognition from the Virginia Association of Counties as a VACO Award recipient as well.

[00:28:36] you know them, you love them, the favorites from the Office of Innovation. So much to celebrate in

[00:29:11] our schools and the just exceptional work of our teams. I'm delighted to have them recognized nationally and statewide.

[00:33:09] Those are great recognitions. And our next item on the agenda is the Henrico Highlights, which is a time when we shine a spotlight on the innovative teaching and learning happening in schools and classrooms all across the division. Tonight, we say Willkommen or welcome to a very special group of German exchange students at Godwin High School who are getting their first taste of high school in the US.

[00:33:33] Take a look. Welcome to the German students that are here. Thank you for coming. - We have had German students and their teachers from Hamburg, Germany for the past two weeks.

[00:33:49] It is something that we've been doing at Godwin for a while now, but we have not done it since pre-COVID. This is Henrico County's sister city in Germany. - We have three teachers from our sister school, Mannlich Gymnasium, so I was also involved with the exchange program hosting a teacher.

[00:34:08] and then we had ten students stay with ten families here at Godwin. Thank you. It's been amazing. It's been so fun to get to know people from other countries and just get to know how their life is compared to ours. Such a nice experience and I'm really happy to get that.

[00:34:29] Our school is completely different to this school. Yeah, there's so many differences. I mean, the classrooms look different. here in high school are very more people than in Germany and high school is much bigger. You got like more than the double of students than my school does. At their school it starts at 7:30 in the morning and they're usually gone by 12:30, 1 o'clock and they're home for lunchtime. The lunch at the school, yes it was most delicious food in my life. They don't have school affiliated sports so they

[00:35:07] They don't have like a big massive football field in their back yard.

[00:35:20] I've never been to any types of football game before, so it was my first time and it was very interesting to see the players play. I just wanted to buy a drink and like everybody asked me questions, where are you from, what's your name, what do you like here in the USA.

[00:35:44] It's entertaining to bring them to somewhere that they have never been to before. They're also mesmerized by some of the stuff that we show them. We went to the grocery store and she was amazed to see how many options and priorities we had compared to them. I went to Walmart.

[00:36:00] I was really excited to go to Target. Some things from the U.S. they don't have in Germany, especially fast food, like Chick-fil-A, Airways and Games. But every day you do different, you're like, oh yeah, today I'm going for lunch, I'm going to drive, I don't know, to any restaurant or fast food or something like this, and it's like different to Germany.

[00:36:20] We're going to be going down the lower part of the James River here in Richmond. They have gone to some excursions to other places in Virginia. They have been on a James River rafting trip. We got to experience Class 3 rapids together, going down Hollywood rapids and going down into downtown.

[00:36:40] So I liked all of the trips we did, but memorable was the rafting thing because my exchange students fell in and there was something I will remember.

[00:36:56] We're mostly using English because our German students are practicing their English. Their English is very, very good. For the most part, I can understand some of the stuff that they're saying, but I personally have not spoken that much German with them.

[00:37:11] our students are planning to travel to Germany this summer once school is out. Germany is still in school in June. And we're also going to attend classes at their high school. And our kids will stay with their same student and their family as their host families when they're in Germany.

[00:37:33] I don't know how popular theater is in Germany. It was really cool. Amazing. Yeah. I definitely learned some German culture, like some things that happened in Germany and now in the U.S. It's very different for my school, and I'm going to remember it for a long time.

[00:37:54] I now have a friend in another country, and that's just so cool to me. What a wonderful learning opportunity and cultural experience for students from both countries. and it is so rewarding to see our students and teachers embodying our core value of belonging and collaboration as they share this experience with their German peers. We will be sure to follow up with the Godwin students when they return from Germany this summer and hear about their travels. Now we move from frauleins to felines for tonight's heart of Henrico where

[00:38:31] the HCPS core values of belonging and equity are the cat's meow. Take a look.

[00:38:46] this is the first time that this particular class has existed so it's sort of taking shape as we go but it is an opportunity for students living with and without disabilities to come together at an equal playing field and create art together and that art very often serves the community so we're gonna make a logo today about our friend patches I was able to meet Kay Ford who was the mother of Patches the fat cat that's made national news and I got to know her and she wanted to do some sort of collaboration with us and we're going

[00:39:25] to do something very special we're going to make a logo do you remember what a logo is she just wanted to create stickers and different merchandise that could be sold to support purring hearts of Virginia and so you know we looked at cats we looked at how to draw cats and then we all came together and collaborated on four final images that were voted on and then those are now available to be purchased it has gone beautifully the relationships that they have formed with

[00:39:58] one another has just been really beautiful if you're like an advanced student you probably have classes with only advanced like-minded individuals this gives an opportunity where everybody is it's coming and same playing field, getting to know one another, and really building those relationships.

[00:40:21] It's just heartwarming, especially now when things are not necessarily really positive. It really feels like an opportunity to make positive change in our community.

[00:40:38] And we are pleased to have Lindsey Hurlburt, Freeman High School art teacher and principal John Marshall with us this evening. Thank you for creating and supporting learning and projects that bring together students of all abilities. The arts play a vital role in our schools by not only fostering talent, but by instilling in students that not all art or people need to be the same to be beautiful and valuable. Thank you for your outstanding work and support of our students. You truly are

[00:41:09] the heart of Henrico. And Madam Chair, members of the board, that completes our Henrico highlights for this evening. Henrico County Public Schools, through engagement with our families and community, equip students with the knowledge and skills to be ready

[00:41:42] for life and a successful future. Thank you, Mr. Irving. The next item on our agenda is the public forum. This is when students are invited to address the school board on any matter of concern about the school division. We ask that each speaker come to the microphone and clearly state your name and school affiliation, if applicable, and the subject of your remarks before speaking.

[00:42:11] after stating your name please place the number you were given in the cart near the podium speakers must present the remarks to the school board not the audience and may provide copies of their comments to the school board clerk the use of obscenity or defamation is strictly prohibited and will be ruled out of order to assist you in tracking your time there's a timekeeping system displaying the elapsed time on the screen I will also indicate when your time has expired the school board is here today to hear from you we will not be responding to speakers concerns or questions during the public forum. However, a Hemrico staff

[00:42:47] member will follow up with speakers. Stakeholders have also had the opportunity to provide written comments through an online forum in advance of the meeting. These comments were shared with the school board members prior to the meeting and are posted for public record and board docs. Equal consideration and attention will be given to both written and in-person comments. We appreciate your attendance here this evening and providing your input. Is speaker number one present? Speaker number

[00:43:17] one. Speaker number two. Speaker number two. Speaker number three. Come on up. Good evening.

[00:43:42] My name is Marlene Sherlock and our family lives in the Fairfield District. Diving into the career planning guide and listening to your work session this afternoon, I thought of two small additional points from our family's experience after almost six years with the Marine Corps JROTC program at JR Tucker. It is true there are only three high schools without a JROTC program, Freeman, Glenallen, and Godwin, and it's true a student there can request a variance to go to their nearest program, but the reality is there are two important caveats. The program and school leadership have to approve it and there has to be room at the destination school, which is currently an issue at

[00:44:19] Tucker. And now as far as what the military sciences offer, one extra item is the armed services vocational aptitude battery or the ASVAB test it is what it says a test of enlistment eligibility and more importantly aid students and career exploration for both military and civilian life the test is free to students it's not limited to JROTC cadets or even students at the hosting school and is offered at least once a year i think it'd be beneficial to encourage more students to avail themselves of that opportunity. And finally, I'd like to just touch briefly on the

[00:44:57] discussion of dual enrollment and tie it into AP classes. With our kids at Tucker, we've seen the crosswalk between DE, AP, and IB classes, and I'll admit to being biased. ACA kids take a lot of DE classes, but many also tackle AP courses and have lots of classmates in the full IB slate. DE courses are the real deal. As highlighted, there's a big certification process for instructors and the classes are taught with the pace and content of an on-campus offering. Almost every college, UVA, Tech, and many out-of-state universities all have a website portal which provides guidance on

[00:45:36] how many DE credits they'll accept. Sergeant Reynolds is highly regarded and many Tucker graduates walk into college with a semester or more of credit already on the books. Please keep making and increasing those opportunities for all Henrico high school students.

[00:45:54] But it does highlight Ms. Shea's concern about the load of AP type classes and the concern over balance. Because of the extra GPA point bump, it creates an incredible GPA arms race. Here's how bad it is and just how many of these classes kids are taking.

[00:46:10] It is possible to have straight A's, get your associate's degree first and not be in the top 10% of your high school graduating class. For the kinds of kids these courses attract, that can be a little disheartening, but it's a small price to pay for the lessons they learn and the real college credit they come away with.

[00:46:33] Thank you. - Thank you so much. That concludes our public forum for the evening. The next item on the agenda is the consent agenda. Colleagues, this is looking at 9.01 through 9.12.

[00:46:52] It includes the two items we discussed earlier today, Career Academic and Career Planning Guide, as well as the CIP, Architectural and Engineering Services for the new Fairfield Elementary, and a whole host of grants, as well as personnel actions and minutes. Are there any of these items you would like to separate out for separate discussion or consideration? All right, hearing none, is there a motion for the consent agenda?

[00:47:21] I move that the school board accept, adopt, approve, and or award items 9.01 through 9.12

[00:47:27] two on the consent agenda as presented. Thank you, Mr. Irving. Is there a second? Second. Seconded by Mr. Young. All those in favor, say aye. Aye. Any opposed? The ayes have it. The consent agenda has been approved. The next item on the agenda is unfinished business. Colleagues, do you have any unfinished business this evening? Hearing none, the next item is new business. Anybody have new business tonight? All right. It's been a meaty day of topics and meetings. So

[00:48:02] I'M PLEASED TO COME TO THE END OF THE AGENDA, WHICH IS THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF UPCOMING MEETINGS. THE NEXT MEETINGS WILL BE DECEMBER 18TH, WITH A WORK SESSION AT 3:00 P.M. AND A MONTHLY MEETING AT 6:30 P.M. RIGHT HERE IN THE NEW BRIDGE AUDITORIUM.

[00:48:18] TIMES MAY BE ADJUSTED AS NEEDED. THIS MEETING IS ADJOURNED.
