Chair Richard Mason called the meeting to order and after roll call the board approved the evening agenda on a motion by Mr. Kilgore, seconded by Mr. Samuels. The board then approved the consent agenda (personnel report 25‑09; minutes of 05/21/2025; school board donations for June 2025) on a motion moved by Mr. Kilgore and seconded by Miss Cherry.

Later in the deliberations portion of the meeting the board voted to move two items from deliberation to action: 5.01, a resolution and temporary promissory note to access a Virginia Literary Fund loan for the Bethel High School science wing (the city council had approved a companion resolution on May 28 authorizing use of up to $20,000,000); and 5.02, the revised fiscal year 2024–25 school board budgets for Fund 50 (school operating) and Fund 95 (instructional resource toolkit). Both motions to move the items to action were made by Mr. Kilgore and carried unanimously.

The board then considered the full action docket and approved items 6.01 through 6.15 as a single block motion, moved by Miss Jackson Afongia and seconded by Mr. Kilgore. The block included the literary loan resolution and the revised Fund 50 and Fund 95 budgets; the board’s vote to approve the block carried with all members recorded as aye.

Votes at a glance:
- Approval of June 4, 2025 meeting agenda — Motion: “I move approval of the agenda as presented.” Mover: Mister Kilgore; Second: Mister Samuels. Vote: Unanimous (all Aye). Outcome: approved.

Branch said state funding adjustments approved by the General Assembly and governor account for most of the change in the school operating fund (Fund 50). “We are projecting to receive about $588,000 more overall than the original budget,” she said, bringing the Fund 50 projection from $302,900,000 to roughly $303,500,000. She also said projected revenues for the division’s instructional resource toolkit (Fund 95) will grow from an original $508,000 to about $778,000 as sales and new client divisions increase; Munis records showed nine new school divisions had purchased the toolkit this year.

Nut graf: Branch asked the board to move the revised Fund 50 and Fund 95 budgets from deliberation to action that evening; the superintendent said, if the board approved, the Fund 50 revision would then be forwarded to City Council for its approval. The board later approved taking the item to action and included the revised budget in a block consent vote that night.

Branch said the division will continue to monitor revenues and, if necessary, rely first on expenditure savings or contingency funds before adjusting plans.

Ending: The board moved the revised budgets to the action portion of the agenda; a subsequent block vote that included the revised budgets carried and the superintendent will submit Fund 50 revisions to city council as required.","CFO Brittany Branch told the board the district expects higher revenues this year: about $588,000 more for the school operating fund (Fund 50) and roughly $270,000 more for the Instructional Resource Toolkit fund (Fund 95); the board moved the budget revision to action that night.",{"_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},6211752,"Hampton City Schools highlights military‑family supports, reports 68% growth in military‑connected enrollment",763,6774000,7537000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3689908-359c6fa2c937206b0e5d86ae2f2e4a0d&start=6774&end=7537","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3689908-359c6fa2c937206b0e5d86ae2f2e4a0d/thumbnail_6774000.jpg","/articles/6211752/Virginia/Hampton-City-Schools-highlights-militaryfamily-supports-reports-68-growth-in-militaryconnected-enrollment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6211752-86a494a3586c9a6dc00391dba35bb9b1/orig.mp4?Expires=1771047899&Signature=jYYhAumRztvVGCVtbPkMMZlRKTZKrMIVAf4MdF4BdlftJuLzJikDjUno7fd4C0Y~T1lmkwNj4tNZUK7bTlmZrYjp3BzUTbRIPN7SM4rTm93y8aQdCprkEW6i-bsTZt5YD7KoeJQHVcGiQVYUbptLTzJbvk9fSBs9WzOTsnT8nqaE43f2XirGvTMMHzhPlia-smL79XUDFWQ7FxCaWmqBrJgTa11XHjTDMvwmAueKA4mcIEF7YnXznWVQWzLZ~pNN92W4dorCC2OSF1vdLLeDVCb8jjdv-G~TSQk2dltim0WPAjczmbw7YHfHdhk5Xz0MYiIk54-Lj70jvrlswJHkXQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Hampton City Schools told the school board on June 4 that its intentional outreach to military families has expanded enrollment and services and deepened operational ties with nearby installations.

Dr. Jennifer Oliver, director of community and government relations, said military‑connected student enrollment has grown nearly 68% since the 2022–23 school year — an increase of roughly 640 students — and that families often contact the district up to six months before permanent moves. The division also reported 16 schools have earned Purple Star designation from the Virginia Department of Education, signaling targeted supports for military families.

Nut graf: The presentation described targeted programs — welcome packets, student‑led peer transition supports, school liaison training for administrators, a dedicated military resources web page and regular coordination with installation leadership — and highlighted joint events including the Air Power Over Hampton Roads STEM expo, Take Your Kid to Work Day and summer youth employment aligned with the Academies of Hampton.

Dr. Oliver said the district maintains active operational ties with installations and liaison officers to reduce stress for relocating families and to offer continuity for students. She described a classroom moment at Craft Elementary where students paraded to celebrate military children and a mother FaceTimed a deployed spouse, underscoring the emotional impact of school outreach.

Colonel Matthew Altman, installation commander at Joint Base Langley‑Eustis, praised the partnership and the district’s culture of inclusion, saying, “This is a place where our military kids feel like they belong, not like they're just passing through.” He also presented the district with a framed lithograph from the Air Force Thunderbirds in appreciation of school support for the AirPower over Hampton Roads events and bus logistics that facilitated thousands of student attendees.

Ending: District and base leaders told the board that collaborative efforts — from classroom programs to joint public events and summer employment slots — are expected to continue and expand, with further programmatic tie‑ins to the Academies of Hampton and workforce initiatives.","District leaders updated the board on military‑family supports, increased onboarding and partnerships with Joint Base Langley‑Eustis; Joint Base commander Colonel Matthew Altman praised the district’s work and presented a Thunderbird lithograph in thanks.",{"_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},6211756,"Hampton City Schools details Master Plan 2 for Academies; signs education partnership with Christopher Newport University",1154,5491000,6645000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3689908-359c6fa2c937206b0e5d86ae2f2e4a0d&start=5491&end=6645","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3689908-359c6fa2c937206b0e5d86ae2f2e4a0d/thumbnail_5491000.jpg","/articles/6211756/Virginia/Hampton-City-Schools-details-Master-Plan-2-for-Academies-signs-education-partnership-with-Christopher-Newport-University","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6211756-41dfad1b2ac505bc0a8cf466ee962eaf/orig.mp4?Expires=1771047899&Signature=hStvlALhvmH0OFz3BjjdspkHaeGteqHbe3moeLgYm-mRYuxcLGDwSEUYfImSZsFOXL~PpliafSMCVgp8rS~jvMo2Mywkp6UqA3vbXAJqnWUX0CO~x6AspdbanZNRpUdntjJKULzq8z7bFv41q4SJ2Pw-T2-6NkJziYcCE6XpLWDAf-I98xeqoFusYQO-c~OFMn4ujBqvoS9FdpAleqD8N~dnmYQ54EqkqhTyWJmuNYNgQl~q9p2WcBs-PxzS3EmyCd49Xt4cxG6oOtZ5VIcEpn~4W1IU~y610Ipy35M410xB1z2PaKwf0ApPhJY-5IClBkNtDw92Lf0SGgZRxo45JQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Hampton City Schools on June 4 described the second phase of its Academies of Hampton master plan, a divisionwide effort to align K–12 instruction around career-focused ‘‘signature experiences’’ and deepen formal partnerships with local colleges.

The presentation, led by Chief Academic Officer Dr. James Harris and followed by Dr. Veronica Hurd, laid out grade‑by‑grade culminating experiences — from kindergarten self‑portraits and a first‑grade “how‑to fair” through fifth‑grade reverse career fairs, eighth‑grade community impact capstones and twelfth‑grade senior capstones tied to internships and the senior conference. “Our North Star is the portrait of a Hampton graduate,” Dr. Harris said, summarizing the division’s aim to prepare students for college, careers and life.

Nut graf: The plan, called Master Plan 2, emphasizes three transformational strands — transforming teaching and learning, changing school culture/systems, and formalizing community‑connected learning. District leaders said the approach will deepen signature experiences already piloted in lower grades, expand monitoring and middle‑school structures, and formalize postsecondary partnerships so students encounter consistent, career‑aligned learning from elementary school through graduation.

The board heard specifics for each grade level: early elementary projects focused on self and community awareness and local field partners such as Bluebird Gap Farm and the Mariners Museum; middle school work centers on cultural portfolios and regional STEM expos; and high school experiences include industry immersion, job shadows and capstone projects developed with university and industry partners.

Dr. Veronica Hurd said the work will include a stronger monitoring system, expanded student voice and family engagement pillars, and a push to formalize PK–12 partnerships that inform curriculum and student programming. She noted the Academies’ inaugural divisionwide partner is Christopher Newport University and announced that the school division and CNU have signed a co‑design agreement intended to create a K–16+ educational pathway and programmatic elements such as collegiate immersion and BizTalk experiences.

Brandon Jones, director of community captains and outreach at Christopher Newport University, described CNU’s role as supporting existing district efforts rather than recruiting students to a single campus: “We’re really just trying to see how we, as what we call our new hometown university, can support that effort,” he said.

District leaders said other higher‑education partners — Hampton University, Norfolk State University and Old Dominion University — and workforce organizations have already co‑designed or begun exploratory conversations to formalize program links to academies, internships and career pathways.

Ending: The board was shown a divisionwide “Connecting the Dots” showcase held at Kecoughtan High School as an exemplar of Master Plan 2 in action. District staff said further public rollouts and a broader launch of formal partnership activities will follow as Master Plan 2 moves from refinement to implementation in the 2025–26 school year.","Hampton City Schools presented Master Plan 2 for the Academies of Hampton on June 4, outlining K–12 ‘‘signature experiences’’ by grade and new formal partnership steps with Christopher Newport University to build a K–16+ pathway and co‑designed programs.","actionData","errors"]
