Superintendent Doctor Campbell recommended approval of the driver record dashboard agreement for the transportation department; the board moved and approved the recommendation without recorded roll‑call detail. The superintendent described the agreement as software for transportation personnel records and management.

The board approved a task order with New River Engineers for the Morgantown High School sewer‑line replacement project. A New River representative said task order No. 2 covers design for Phase 1, Alternative 1 — rerouting the main interceptor from an earthen terracotta tunnel to a concrete mechanical/electrical tunnel to improve access and replace failing terracotta pipe. The contractor noted the work will require a small section of the Morgantown High football field turf to be cut to access an underground manhole; the turf manufacturer will repair and stitch the turf back together after the access. Design work will proceed immediately with construction planned for the summer; the principal told the contractor the school can relocate summer programs from affected wings while restrooms are offline.

The board approved an agreement with Harper Engineering for mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) design at Suncrest Middle School. Doctor Campbell said the MEP design will support demolition and stabilization of a sinking wall on one side of the building; that section will remain closed until a new middle school is constructed under a previously awarded grant.

The board approved the consent agenda, which the superintendent said included expenditures exceeding $3,000, payment of salaries and accounts payable, field experiences, renewal agreement with Republic Services, and monthly Head Start and Early Head Start reports and assessments.

Personnel actions approved included the personnel list and an addendum. The board also voted to add a new professional position, assistant manager of transportation (261‑day full‑time), and to eliminate the school bus supervisor service position effective March 7, 2025, resulting in a net change of plus one professional position and minus one full‑time service position in the county budget. “We would like to elevate that position to a professional position because of the needs,” Doctor Campbell said when introducing the change. A board member expressed concern about long‑term pathways for service personnel as some positions convert to professional roles.

All items were approved by voice vote; the meeting record shows aye/oppose vocal votes but does not provide a roll‑call tally in the transcript.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Monongalia BOE regular board meeting 1-28, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Monongalia County Board of Education approved multiple contracts and personnel actions at its Jan. 28 meeting, including a transportation record‑keeping agreement, engineering work for Morgantown High School sewer repairs, mechanical/electrical design at Suncrest Middle School and personnel changes.","taxTitle","MONONGALIA COUNTY SCHOOLS, School Districts, West Virginia","taxId",13061,"location","West Virginia","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6361780,"Monongalia County Schools outline expanded social-emotional curriculum and Behavior Blueprint 2025",885,1367000,2252000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2169992-1b075a06d7e5c9d31a6ac21a65ed0f86&start=1367&end=2252","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2169992-1b075a06d7e5c9d31a6ac21a65ed0f86/thumbnail_1367000.jpg","/articles/6361780/West-Virginia/Monongalia-County-Schools-outline-expanded-social-emotional-curriculum-and-Behavior-Blueprint-2025","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6361780-92898372e8248ab70e8ef8b98ad4b95d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771153630&Signature=CmnSyM4YzA7SxMQ~IPehg09yIwDMNHzMqPYH~0bdL0lR--XefaQNCjMpPt2zTKrjMdY12vV~0K-SwOOytHAjVeXqGbO8fl0USxq48SBRPZTm4dg0xu1dslaVlNHyxuJGWeU492jsmlqzlwGJNXt6cQTlYeEnrJ-Eiy~joLrbgw0mzkJYDRWdSOvSrE03YmWIe-5iOD4wCWth5WUpDLJ4y0Sw~hOsVkimzh0VuQEh8NzTd8LIx3~QHB~O5C1fCLEwjM7PejyI~kaMXG-szkuu7RZ07qg048Lyabp1GcqjEfAmCcpp5ViWjTqt12z4ORH8sve7XxEQCzB9wyvJnAeRGQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Monongalia County Schools staff presented an update Jan. 28 to the Monongalia County Board of Education on the district’s student success standards, emphasizing social‑emotional learning programs, staff training and planned Behavior Blueprint 2025 professional development.

The presentation said the district uses a tiered approach: Second Step in elementary and middle schools, School Connect at the high school level, school‑based counseling through memoranda of understanding with local agencies, county outreach facilitators and a host of specialized positions including early childhood behavioral specialists and mental‑health interventionists. “Our goal really is to have all of these skills build and transfer to college and career success,” said Angela Hayes, staff member, during the presentation.

Why it matters: district leaders told the board that social‑emotional learning and the related staff training support attendance, classroom behavior and academic progress. Presenters cited Panorama student surveys on teacher‑student relationships, emotional regulation and growth mindset as data used to identify areas for targeted interventions.

District staff described multiple professional development efforts already in place. Youth Mental Health First Aid training — offered in partnership with West Virginia University — has trained roughly 20 staff per year, and the district reported more than 300 staff members have completed the course. The district also runs Safe and Civil Schools programs and hosted a Behavior Blueprint event last June attended by about 400 educators; presenters said Behavior Blueprint 2025 will expand those offerings with nationally recognized keynote speakers and sessions on adult emotional regulation, trauma‑informed practices and classroom management.

Presenters pointed to practical classroom strategies and said the training is intended to give teachers tools they can use “in the moment” to reduce escalation and keep students engaged. Staff representatives described work to give teacher teams planning time to adapt new practices to school schedules and curricula.

Superintendent Doctor Campbell praised the district’s long‑term investment in student services, saying the work pairs safety, social‑emotional supports and academic goals. “Safety is number one,” Doctor Campbell said. He added the district has invested heavily in staff development over two decades and said the community has supported the spending needed to build the current level of services.

Board members offered verbal support but did not take separate action on the presentation. Staff said next steps include finalizing speakers and schedules for Behavior Blueprint 2025 and continuing to use Panorama survey results to guide school‑level interventions.

The presentation also noted ongoing partnerships and grant work with the West Virginia Department of Education to expand school mental health services and build capacity for school‑based counseling.","District staff presented a multi-tiered plan of social‑emotional learning, staff training and community partnerships at the Jan. 28 Monongalia County Board of Education meeting, including plans for a larger Behavior Blueprint conference in summer 2025 and continued use of Panorama surveys to target supports.","actionData","errors"]
