Doctor Mullins introduced the SEAC presentation and Miss Wingard, SEAC chair, told the board that the division and SEAC are continuing work after the board’s recent vote to move early childhood special education (ECSE) programming from the regional model to an in‑house model. \"The board voted to bring early childhood special education programming to an in house model and move away from being under the umbrella of the regional program,\" Wingard said, and SEAC expressed gratitude for the board’s support during the transition.

Wingard summarized SEAC’s three priorities and recent activities. The committee plans a summer planning meeting and anticipates recruiting new members to represent ECSE families during the transition. SEAC also described the I’m Determined showcase held April 5, which featured student youth ambassadors presenting their work, family breakout sessions, a family self-determination activity led by Doctor Mullins and targeted transition information for parents planning for post‑secondary options.

SEAC emphasized family engagement and empowerment as ongoing priorities and said members will participate in the division’s July readiness fair. The committee asked the board for continued support as it helps families navigate the division’s ECSE changes and transition processes.

The presentation was provided for board information; no formal board action on SEAC recommendations was recorded during the meeting.","The board heard SEAC updates including a recent vote to bring early childhood special education in-house, SEAC’s continued support during the transition, and highlights from an I’m Determined family showcase and youth ambassador presentations.",{"_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},6222073,"School board approves Title I–IV federal grants; staff to sign and submit for state review",444,3385000,3829000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3610787-9a26135d54a9f7f6eb076df9567ec0b8&start=3385&end=3829","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3610787-9a26135d54a9f7f6eb076df9567ec0b8/thumbnail_3385000.jpg","/articles/6222073/Virginia/School-board-approves-Title-IIV-federal-grants-staff-to-sign-and-submit-for-state-review","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6222073-17f830dd0971e486d6403e2a17b1b4d5/orig.mp4?Expires=1770444448&Signature=YC3bNt2k6AauFOAmz4I-5m21eQDVO83pKdBWJTYb2D~PicQWTdZ5Q-gwDWbWP8j8TJmN7qFIAjBsZoXkbJTMce96AVcYf66eO4TUcRTQTYFxrCIJ~sBHiulZdL9Cta4Q9wK7NHW7HebUsMnk0hn-MXZ9EeyJlj~27~kj6XeuB16hVL12zh4-dQVdD2za~wnqZXFFidIL~d-eapSUnH-Y6jHylYKsiCOJFKiNi7V5dgUmfV~JEcVrIF~Yc~SQvLtr12~bpyLzjtzzUTz4Dg4bcC9byBF39A5ramDIwwXtf6F2xubTcuY-RtBh1UR8NT0VEEY13cST8DspbN0QhP6TlA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Winchester Public School Board unanimously approved federal grant applications for Title I, II, III and IV at its May 27 meeting and authorized the chair to sign the documents for state review.

Miss Buckley, who presented the grants, told the board the applications cover staffing for interventions, professional development and family outreach. \"I gave you the total amount at the top. I just wanna make sure you understand that that amount is what we are projected to receive,\" she said, noting state-approved amounts frequently change and the division often amends budgets during the school year.

Buckley outlined program uses: Title I funds largely support instructional staff, intervention teachers, reading specialists, multi-classroom leaders and portions of some supervisory salaries; Title II and transferred Title IV dollars pay for professional development, an MTSS/PBIS coach, an equity and family empowerment coordinator and a data analyst; Title III covers English learner supports including parent liaisons, after-school remediation and curriculum platforms. Buckley said Title I typically directs about 85% of its funds to instructional support.

Board members asked clarifying questions during the presentation. The board then moved to approve the grants. \"Motion by Miss Barrow. Second by Mr. Ireland. All in favor? Aye,\" the chair said; the motion passed.

Buckley said the grants must be submitted promptly because the state approves applications in the order received and the division sometimes must make state-requested revisions. She also described program outcomes linked to prior grant-funded work, including PBIS implementation and movement of students through MTSS tiers.

The board did not vote on any budget amendments at the meeting; Buckley said staff will return with any required revisions once final state awards are confirmed.","Winchester Public School Board voted unanimously to approve federal Title I, II, III and IV applications and directed the chair to sign them for state processing; staff summarized proposed uses including staffing, intervention and family outreach.",{"_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},6222078,"Winchester Schools win nearly $600,000 state grant to expand summer and after-school services for English learners",640,2565000,3205000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3610787-9a26135d54a9f7f6eb076df9567ec0b8&start=2565&end=3205","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3610787-9a26135d54a9f7f6eb076df9567ec0b8/thumbnail_2565000.jpg","/articles/6222078/Virginia/Winchester-Schools-win-nearly-600000-state-grant-to-expand-summer-and-after-school-services-for-English-learners","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6222078-b33c5598284dbb909c635a5fac72d584/orig.mp4?Expires=1770444448&Signature=eCjGHnU0SG6YWrkZZ-Tq3W0jupn4IWy5W8hSCtSbZNAttJ9hn3FeY2v0LdMj-iC~NoIy8hD7NDlCbm6nyTxXgZki1LqvKnDkbTk4Boqljzdxj5HzYDtEzGKh8hfWz8BCjFpUmqXS1Ku~tWq~bQ8x9omx4UC8X06JojS8TuIPFVvrtjyXkwU2h0GFWDhbW6yLo~o-lf3HvdMBa35uWd0sFIJAHLpPoWeJK-QLu~l7Fw6ZF9O6rCBJuSM53NM0FP5vE1HVyNKdgxPAn6DCqlPWRkPQvwNUPn6vbHkS6nb9a4H4I1YhTe-en9~3v4cqDOeouOm5MS6leMo44t3ji32owg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Winchester Public Schools will run a state-funded extended school year program this summer for English learners and newly arrived students after the division secured a Virginia Department of Education grant the administration calls WELCOME.

The program targets rising fifth- through eighth-grade students on the Daniel Morgan campus and will run a 16-day summer session that supports both language acquisition and core academic content, followed by after-school and Saturday programming through February of next year. \"This is funded by the Virginia Department of Education, and it will cover 2, fiscal years,\" Miss Buckley said during the May 27 school board meeting.

School officials said the award totals nearly $600,000 across two fiscal years and will serve up to 50 rising fifth- through eighth-grade students this summer. The program will provide English-language instruction plus content-area teachers, at least two field trips per week during summer programming, PBIS incentives, peer mentoring, and Saturday field trips in the first months of the school year.

Buckley said the division selected the Daniel Morgan campus because its needs assessment showed the campus had a notable share of newcomers and economically disadvantaged students and because language acquisition is typically easier at younger ages. She told the board the division’s needs assessment reported 61 students identified as economically disadvantaged at the Daniel Morgan campus and that more than one-third of students there are English language learners. Buckley also said newly arrived students in the division currently speak 37 different languages.

Board members asked about parent uptake, screening metrics and transportation. Buckley said parent liaisons have been contacting families and that invitations went out once funding was confirmed. \"It will be implemented this summer?\" a board member asked. \"Absolutely. On June 10,\" Buckley replied.

Program evaluation will include a prescreener and an exit screener of language skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing) and a student self-efficacy survey. The division also plans to track academic gains for participants as part of the grant reporting.

Officials said the grant was written after the state directed applicants to focus on a specific subgroup of students; Winchester initially sought broader funding but revised the application to target newcomers and English learners. School staff said the program will replace some services previously supported by the Aspire grant and will supplement existing remediation budgets in other schools.

The board received the update during the May 27 meeting; no vote on the grant was recorded that evening.","Winchester Public Schools announced a Virginia Department of Education extended school year grant, WELCOME, to provide a 16-day summer program and follow-up after-school and Saturday supports for English learners and newcomers on the Daniel Morgan campus starting June 10.","actionData","errors"]
