Mr. Ross told the board he had discussed the issue with N.C. Department of Transportation staff, including engineer Mr. Epperson. Ross said DOT’s 2019 plan included turning lanes into the new middle school and additional turning lanes at the Highway 74/Anson High Road intersection; however, a 2024 analysis that recommended a staggered school start had since superseded that earlier work. Ross said DOT agreed to revisit the 2019 plan to see whether its recommendations remain appropriate in light of the newer analysis, but that any work will be constrained by timing, available resources and funding.

Ross also noted some confusion between the grant that covers the access road (as referenced by the superintendent) and the state roads where turning lanes would be placed, and said clarity on responsibilities and funding will be needed. He said the new middle school is expected to open in just over a year and that DOT and county staff planned additional meetings in the next week or two to discuss options and next steps. The board was told a fuller update on the middle-school project should be available by the May 19 meeting.

No board action or vote on the traffic recommendations was recorded; staff said further meetings would determine the preferred approach and any funding pathway.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Anson County Board of Education Regular Meeting 04/28/25","oneSentenceSummary","A county official reported the N.C.

Under the consent agenda, the board approved the proposed budget for 2025–26 and the school administration program plan for 2024–25. A board member moved and another seconded the motion; the chair called for a voice vote and the board recorded the consent items as approved.

Later, under new business, the board considered the personnel report. The board approved personnel items A‑1 through I‑9, amended I‑9 to change the listed employees to four-year status (the transcript names Mary Ratliff and Lynn Gardel in relation to the I‑9 change), and tabled items I‑10 through I‑17 for a future meeting. The board approved the amended personnel report by voice vote; the recording shows the motion carried and the items were approved as amended.

The meeting concluded after the board addressed calendar items and adjourned. The transcript records motions, seconds and voice votes but does not identify individual board members who moved or seconded; the votes were recorded by voice as “Aye” and no roll-call tally with member names was included in the transcript excerpt.","The Anson County Board approved consent items including the proposed 2025–26 budget and approved personnel items A‑1 through I‑9 (with I‑9 extended to four years), tabling personnel items I‑10 through I‑17.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6581392,"Parent alleges delayed notification and says school’s SEL plan appeared copied from ChatGPT",150,417000,567000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3141256-2d85b7d29701eca8eab40f87c11ee919&start=417&end=567","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3141256-2d85b7d29701eca8eab40f87c11ee919/thumbnail_417000.jpg","/articles/6581392/North-Carolina/Parent-alleges-delayed-notification-and-says-schools-SEL-plan-appeared-copied-from-ChatGPT","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6581392-48df64f44f7301ba54cf838edccce39d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771067549&Signature=gzV84qQBzYDOMn57yhfVLURwX7ir6emhLD5Pl1mzmH1sUL3n7aBRtoSOqeAb-AIrHb~baCg-~LzVSe6EiTUM~XsNHx95Wwh4Namba1lZ08ci3OFTltA1K20SBY7UymDPTKDDaJJVDi8~7TACvCbiDgIXn-vg1xHj0hj8leLXZgkBK1UgewrNLxcpU5W5pURSAZfUH9JZ692cBlCaM5245V8m3qVcSW0Gh1ThZSgb7RxKG1xoTKvGGyVsWgYOL~94HLaibm0NOEMb9qIA85VlXzyjI68JYfjknwtQBwOwsuFzlGPX-Zeyi9aYcSrsmt1iF~-bpdQ2lkrhfu98s472ow__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","During the public-comment portion of the Anson County Board of Education meeting, Sheena Kendall told the board she was not notified promptly about an April 1 incident involving her child and said a social-emotional learning (SEL) plan provided by the school appeared to be copied directly from ChatGPT.

Kendall told the board that, according to her son, the incident occurred around 9:10 a.m. and that she was not notified until about 1:45 p.m. “I feel like that was mishandling because if an incident happens early on and it includes your child, you are expected to be notified as soon as possible,” Kendall said. She said she initially spoke with a principal designee but was told to return the next day to speak with the principal because the principal was absent that day; Kendall said she later learned the principal had contacted the other student’s parents but not her.

Kendall said she met with school administration and was shown an SEL plan described as a plan for her son. She said the document appeared to be a five-second ChatGPT prompt that had only a few names changed. “When I saw the format, I’m like, I was told this plan would take time and effort, but it didn’t,” Kendall said. She said the plan confused her because her son was not the problem in the incident and she questioned how the plan had been produced and shared with her.

The board’s public-comment announcement at the meeting stated that the board would not address or respond to public comment except for clarification until the superintendent had the opportunity to investigate the presented issues or consult legal counsel if warranted. No board action or immediate response was recorded in the meeting minutes or transcript following Kendall’s remarks.

Kendall’s remarks prompted board members to remind the public of the board’s comment rules and that staff would follow up through the superintendent’s office.","At the Anson County Board meeting, a parent said her child was not notified promptly about a school incident and that the school-provided social-emotional learning plan looked like an unedited ChatGPT output.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6581399,"Anson County board reviews early-literacy progress and sets timeline for individual reading plans",1051,969000,2020000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3141256-2d85b7d29701eca8eab40f87c11ee919&start=969&end=2020","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3141256-2d85b7d29701eca8eab40f87c11ee919/thumbnail_969000.jpg","/articles/6581399/North-Carolina/Anson-County-board-reviews-early-literacy-progress-and-sets-timeline-for-individual-reading-plans","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6581399-02f3dfc18c5911dd2e89a492355022d9/orig.mp4?Expires=1771067549&Signature=OBBM332LOSb9W27qIf32krRO29X~unBW~vhOYdxJxBSHw3FeewFpCxzRY27fZfZskLzO-5Rm7GOycCqUCEQ2Ez1IoN5OXqbCBEmbt9yQ8Xsgyu9gIAWk-E3UCLD-yPmlb~HkD0LMoqreP559JI67RFS4xXnbeSOQwM9P0PO8nvZ0ZZwy4oy0UnWQ-Yvz1L6NPeB8JYM8VuyfRbZmVn-HXO1iuii9rbWN6wixytS~z1riK6iuNGHLHzT~n9YrQDMnaxvCw1O~gZsOjRIvU6Cih~gHaMHwbigagqzbFootS7kfJ8eOHu3yAkBfjkhXL0nkgBUN9mB0O6-ZADwxqnyHQQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Anson County Board of Education heard a presentation on early-literacy work and a schedule for Individual Reading Plans at its meeting, where district and North Carolina Department of Public Instruction staff described progress-monitoring data, professional development and a multi-stage review schedule for IRPs.

The presentation, led by Tiffany Tallent, the district’s early-literacy specialist, and Crystal Merck from the Department of Public Instruction, summarized beginning-of-year and midyear MCAS/Amplify composite results and described a rollout plan for IRPs. Tallent said kindergarten students at or above benchmark rose from 21% at the beginning of the year to 47% at midyear, while first-grade performance fell from 59% to 51% (an 8-point drop). Second grade rose 8 points and third grade rose 2 points, Tallent said. “We’ve been really concerned with our first grade and how we can support first-grade literacy instruction,” Tallent said.

District staff emphasized progress monitoring as a core tool for reducing risk and guiding instruction. Tallent and Merck described progress-monitoring fidelity reporting that tracks the percentage of students assessed within required windows. Under the current practice described at the meeting, students rated “well below” are progress monitored about every 10 instructional days, “below” about every 15 days, and lower-risk groups less frequently; Tallent said the probe itself takes about two minutes per student. The presenters said the district has seen inconsistent compliance across monitoring windows and is working to increase the percentage of students monitored on schedule so teachers can adjust interventions promptly.

The board was given a timeline for IRP implementation tied to in-class assessments and periodic reviews. According to the presentation, initial assessments and IRP development occur in September, with team reviews (teachers, instructional coach, principal) in October–November, a second review after the midyear evaluation in January, another review in March–April, and a final end-of-year review to inform recommendations for the following school year. The presenters said parents will be notified for each student placed on an IRP and that a letter is required to document the plan and interventions.

Board leaders and staff described supports for teachers that include the CKLA playbook, LETRS training, modeling and coaching, and additional required workdays previously approved to give teachers time to complete IRP work and conduct data dives. Superintendent Dr. Rosebrough (as referenced during the meeting) and staff said the district is emphasizing “how” teachers fit progress monitoring into daily schedules as much as the “what.”

No board action was taken during the presentation. Staff said they will provide additional school-level comparisons to state data on request and continue reporting progress-monitoring fidelity to principals and instructional coaches.

The discussion also noted that the district uses Amplify for in-class assessments and that the IRP requirement was described during the presentation as coming from “SB 3 87” (as cited at the meeting). Staff said they are implementing training and documentation so IRPs follow students across years as needed.","District literacy staff reported mixed early-grade reading gains, outlined progress-monitoring fidelity concerns and a multi-point timeline to implement Individual Reading Plans (IRPs) required by statute cited at the meeting.","actionData","errors"]
