Wilson said paving and resurfacing projects are in the district’s current budget. Work this year includes resealing and restriping Lincoln County High School, repairs at West Hamlin and Hart’s, and central‑office pavement work. He said the district left funds in the budget to address a heavily used county road serving the Do All athletic facility if the district owns that road; staff said they are researching ownership before moving forward.

On construction, Wilson and Mr. Davis reported progress at Duval Pre K–8: several masonry walls are up on the gym, the cafeteria and the STEM room were poured, the elevator shafts are completed and contractors are preparing to pour footers on a two‑story section. Wilson said the meeting with contractors produced no surprises that would draw from contingency funds.

Wilson and curriculum staff reported results from the district’s third I‑Ready diagnostic, saying scores showed growth in ELA and math in multiple places. He described a dashboard created by Miss Shortridge that preloads lessons by grade and standard so teachers and administrators can access aligned materials quickly. The district plans to concentrate on both ELA and math in summer programming.

No formal board vote was required for the updates; board members asked staff to publicize summer school schedules and to continue monitoring construction and paving timelines.","Superintendent Wilson told the board the special education department received a $40,000 grant for the Lincoln County High School PACE lab; the Duval construction project is progressing and district paving projects are planned or underway.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6252470,"Lincoln County Schools honors service employees and teachers of the year",1322,653000,1975000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3188366-8dfdca69df81955b48cc73897eae46c7&start=653&end=1975","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3188366-8dfdca69df81955b48cc73897eae46c7/thumbnail_653000.jpg","/articles/6252470/West-Virginia/Lincoln-County-Schools-honors-service-employees-and-teachers-of-the-year","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6252470-80a0ea13d65cd10ebd34861e6a3b1e6c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770633086&Signature=ByzHRJuYDApAQGtqjSmfZVPpKPtn76XZeHlP0B8yFPY0XQKr1ZR5lc6-N5w9-Ap7p3R07OJ~UumqHqIbO7lSkCB2OU-zR9GzXvcQEja6gix0Z4JclkwDxh1IU~yLpew4kp9fxRPxfEdp7RtFTeKGbgMSK4E7EJZ23kdq4-9cBWXePzgywKTQhFfN8f8IOspPPWSQRfS2V2aFrC1gmC3AlkkG4Q9FnLGYqbFLcytRJKUyNwKf3AoOV9r~GY8nWU0z~pjixbXYLH6peYRpywkZrZ4GW5r3d4qR7I1uKSqp1AUSI88HXW59GjKUrFkhmHCBmCWXt~Ps-OJ37IqqxhTFMg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Superintendent Wilson and staff recognized service employees and teachers of the year from each school and announced the district winners during the Lincoln County Board of Education meeting.

Service personnel recognized (school and honoree as read at the meeting) included Keisha Clay (West Hamlin Elementary), Anita Edmonds (Central Office), Anita Parsons (Hart's Pre K–8), Ryan Pritchard (Lincoln County High School transportation/announcing role), Abigail LaFleur (Duval Pre K–8), Laura Cyril (Midway Elementary), Wayne Salmons (transportation), Shelly Adkins (Hamlin Pre K–8), and Chris Browning (Guyana Valley Middle School). The board read brief citations summarizing each honoree’s contributions.

Teacher of the Year recipients announced for each school included Bev Davis (Guyan Valley Middle School), Rebecca Roy (West Hamlin Elementary), Michelle McCann (Harts Pre K–8), Allison Stickler (Lincoln County High School), Maddie Smith (Midway Elementary), Brittany Webb (Duval Pre K–8), and Brenna Allen (Hamlin Pre K–8). The board described nominees’ teaching roles and service to students; several teachers’ extracurricular and leadership roles were noted.

The board also named the district’s overall winners and said each school submitted nominations that were scored by a committee using a rubric developed by central‑office directors. The superintendent explained the selection process: nominations from faculty senates or principals, a filled application, committee scoring sheets aggregated by Steve Gaines and the committee, with the highest total points determining the winner.

Board members and staff took photos with honorees; no board votes were required for the recognitions.","The board recognized service personnel and teachers from each school and named county winners; the recognitions were presented and plaques distributed at the April 29 meeting.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6252476,"Lincoln County Schools outlines summer school schedule, free meals and teacher training",2719,155000,2874000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3188366-8dfdca69df81955b48cc73897eae46c7&start=155&end=2874","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3188366-8dfdca69df81955b48cc73897eae46c7/thumbnail_155000.jpg","/articles/6252476/West-Virginia/Lincoln-County-Schools-outlines-summer-school-schedule-free-meals-and-teacher-training","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6252476-f78e28feb0d693470b803854f4c1b83a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770633086&Signature=la9k8NEF20OsgEFht~MqhYEt6Xdpz3cNL9ovHdx0nM2BIifASwHffFKSgg8e0UcxGpkP4KnLv523h3cMZRxhT3peo8idrT3607YHzrdMjI1dhF1NR6ycKCF667w5n11G3Hi6S5lW0KysXulz2fWBcEEmnhI92bXR8MdhM6cBu1C7eaDKvAnx44WlqFGtKCKPDouXEHmsfG5vX2TMi6gbI2HxEJ8814ntSF9Kyq4qyDn-FcjtDPgiC5H0fcpE8pAVcv-~s7OsvOqhi5NCP9sE93CUT-jsZnShs2kDyuci8ptQ9uKbozCwABKqdolHSTt2pnQnWkSV7mWXX8epmrzoCA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Steve Gaines, presenter for Instruction and Leadership, told the Lincoln County Board of Education the district will run in‑person summer school in July and will provide free breakfast and lunch for students.

“Summer school starts July 7 through the 30,” Gaines said, and added specific hours: “Time is 9 to 2 for kids and 08:30 to 02:30 for staff.” He said the district will offer a site at every school building with grade‑appropriate offerings, including K–5 enrichment at several elementary schools and credit‑recovery and extended‑year options at Lincoln County High School.

Gaines said buses will run regular routes and that the district has budgeted for some extra routes to reach students who live farther away. He said site coordinators will collect sign‑ups and send lists to Peggy, the transportation director, who will have bus drivers call parents with stop times.

The district will also offer a Summer Teaching Academy in June. Gaines listed invited presenters and dates: John Screedy on June 6, Terrence Scott on June 17, Carnegie Coaching (ELA and math) during the June series, and an Apple Personalized Learning session on June 20 intended to support teaching with iPads in the system’s 1:1 rollout.

Board members asked about bus stop times and about publicity; a board member requested a public notice in local media so parents who do not read board minutes will know program dates and times.

District staff emphasized registration through site coordinators and said summer sites will include teachers, special educators, aides, social workers and community schools staff.

Board members did not take a formal vote on the summer program during the presentation.

The district intends to run summer programs at sites including West Hamlin, Midway (paired with Duval), Hamlin Pre K–8, Guyana Valley and Lincoln County High School, and to provide credit recovery, enrichment and STEM/engineering options at the high school.","District staff told the school board the district will run in‑person summer programming across county sites with meals and bus service; a weeklong Summer Teaching Academy in June will include national trainers and sessions on iPad use.","actionData","errors"]
