Vernon Bach, the division’s chief operating officer, introduced Tim Shimp of the DLR Group, the design partner retained to guide programming and site work for the new high school. DLR described a multi‑stage engagement process that included workshops with school board members, staff, teachers, parents and students. The consultants summarized six central themes that emerged from the input: a sense of belonging and community, applied and project‑based learning, safety and well‑being (physical and emotional), environmental quality including air and acoustics, sustainability goals such as LEED or net‑zero planning, and community access to school facilities.

DLR said student‑centered methods such as a \"photo voice\" workshop helped reveal how students use spaces daily and what fosters engagement and belonging. The firm reported consistent requests for flexible furniture and adaptable learning spaces to support small‑group work, maker‑style hands‑on labs, and larger performance or assembly uses. The presentation also described how career and technical education (CTE) pathways — including biomedical science, engineering and computer science — were prioritized in stakeholder discussions, and how the design will seek to enable partnerships with local businesses and post‑secondary institutions.

Board members asked questions about how the project will measure the impact of space on learning. DLR said it plans pre‑ and post‑occupancy evaluation and noted participation in broader research collaborations that examine facilities’ effects on student engagement and outcomes. The designers provided a project schedule and site plan overview; the presentation closed with an invitation to continue stakeholder meetings during schematic design.

Board members praised the extensive engagement and asked staff and designers to continue exploring how design choices increase student engagement and support CTE and community access. The board will receive future design updates as the project advances through schematic design and site planning.","DLR Group presented findings from stakeholder engagement to the Prince William County School Board, emphasizing flexible learning spaces, career‑technical pathways, safety, sustainability and community connection for the planned 14th high school.",{"_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},6211040,"Prince William County Schools honors retirees and dozens of student and staff awardees at 'Thriving Futures' segment",4571,556000,5127000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3700612-bd284b1b68988d6cf0bb5f1967564120&start=556&end=5127","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3700612-bd284b1b68988d6cf0bb5f1967564120/thumbnail_556000.jpg","/articles/6211040/Virginia/Prince-William-County-Schools-honors-retirees-and-dozens-of-student-and-staff-awardees-at-Thriving-Futures-segment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6211040-95454712fbf1755888e991077907e32a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770999099&Signature=YQJWX36Gmh6YwTN0xSdyqyu-fRIOWjv5rkCR7KRMYdh2Nb4OL1ch1vGvwKLm5v3uqU12W3~WmWXOwDG~1koTfpFpml8ZboWVHhid4zS5I0X5QK8bdk4tYhQGeglkjGzoWZwsWm9JRYE~rl0pXOFvVKqrex48-myqcl7IE9g3m5nS2NhyYPX~rUEz0XCvglgJMMiPbviE5gR4v5tzDK~pxoux0TEPHu85J4961iH~d1HR-QIIfbsY9j~t~qYZSYBtON7-990N8gapDPrJye2A05GY6c-nUejZgvPiaBQNpQ3q3g08V7Md0r434EKHRppkffO7Dlz-h-CWx0CN~Hw7Rg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Prince William County School Board used its Thriving Futures segment to recognize long‑serving employees and dozens of student and staff achievements spanning local, state and national honors.

The board honored two senior administrators who are retiring this year. Denise Huebner, identified by the board as associate superintendent for student services and post‑secondary success, was thanked for nearly two decades of service, including leadership in career and technical education, student health and wellness, alternative programs and post‑secondary success. Huebner addressed the board and thanked colleagues and family for their support.

Todd Erickson, associate superintendent for Central Elementary Schools, was recognized for more than two decades of service, including his earlier role as principal of Occoquan Elementary School. Erickson spoke to the board about his career in education and expressed gratitude for his time leading elementary schools and later serving as an associate superintendent.

The board also recognized a broad set of student and school accomplishments. Highlights announced during the segment included:

- National History Day and mock‑trial honors from Benton and Battlefield schools and awards tied to civic‑learning programs.
- Regional winners in the Virginia Department of Education \"Expressions of Freedom\" contest who will have work placed in a commemorative time capsule in Trafalgar Square, London.
- Nine schools that earned the Virginia Music Educators Association Blue Ribbon Award for excellence in band, orchestra and choir performance.
- Multiple high schools designated as Project Lead The Way (PLTW) distinguished high schools for offering multiple PLTW courses and meeting enrollment and participation criteria. Prince William County named Battlefield, Colgan, Gainesville and Garfield among its PLTW high‑school distinctions for 2024–25.
- Numerous robotics and engineering recognitions, including Colgan High School teams winning state robotics awards and Benton Middle School's VEX team winning the Create Award at the VEX World Championship; Patriot High School’s SeaPerch team winning international awards; and Lake Ridge Middle School teams securing national trophies.

Division staff and program leads provided brief remarks and context. Dr. Sarah Martin, director of career and technical education, described PLTW’s eligibility criteria, which include multiple course offerings and thresholds for student participation. Erin Lowry, coordinator of robotics, emphasized the program’s focus on problem solving, teamwork and real‑world skills. Dr. Anna Marie Bollino, supervisor of arts, noted the increase in middle schools earning music honors and highlighted the division’s recognition as a Best Community for Music Education for a consecutive year.

Superintendent Dr. McDade and board members praised the honorees and thanked teachers, coaches and families who supported student participation. The segment concluded with group photos and presentation of tokens of appreciation to honorees and retirees.","At its June 4 meeting the Prince William County School Board recognized retiring leaders Denise Huebner and Todd Erickson and awarded students and staff for achievements in history research, mock trial, music, Project Lead The Way, and robotics.",{"_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},6211045,"Prince William County School Board upholds three dismissals and approves appointments after closed-session review",148,310000,458000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3700612-bd284b1b68988d6cf0bb5f1967564120&start=310&end=458","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3700612-bd284b1b68988d6cf0bb5f1967564120/thumbnail_310000.jpg","/articles/6211045/Virginia/Prince-William-County-School-Board-upholds-three-dismissals-and-approves-appointments-after-closed-session-review","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6211045-e4dc204fe4c6fcd2a7ff1b2ac9fe7af3/orig.mp4?Expires=1770999099&Signature=dsFGAp34PcHEfkCBWSEnSgpnf5NAxSS-NP-Ho3znbQy1V~G9X7OG4qM3gbBo2FtMVo9GYl7jQ9QvlrJwmhttqj8z56tGPnR9dwSQejRoS8zLvhho-oJ8zQ1CvL--m928FpiXG~oVBIVtdganeYP7vYUWTMAX4ryQN~hznC-yLUbz0SQJ0VpSTJekV~teSjZoQOOUjr6HNs~lQaX0eBJNw0YvRwMhkgvL6aeHTF3QOvNvyncBHj-fA32dK7fIFJNVXZY5E2QpWsTlp5NVXXqB4dKL6KMh46Y3srNk7RopAZ42KuBG2zfujHkgDMRh8oQGRE4t0uUeq4hYeLheb-fs0w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","School Board member Jen Wall moved and the board approved a set of personnel actions following a closed session called under Virginia law, including appointments and releases of specific employees and the formal upholding of the superintendent’s recommended dismissals in three employee cases.

The board voted to approve appointments and releases as presented in closed session. That motion passed with five yes votes, two abstentions and one member not present at the vote. Later, the board heard and voted on three employee cases. In separate motions, School Board member Jen Wall moved that the board uphold the superintendent’s recommendation of dismissal in employee case T25-002; the board voted in favor with no opposition. The board then moved and unanimously upheld the superintendent’s recommendations in employee cases T25-003 and T25-004. Each of those dismissal motions authorized the chairman at large to provide a written decision to the affected employee reflecting the board’s action.

The motions to enter and to certify the closed session cited the statutory exemptions in the Code of Virginia invoked by the board. The board’s motion to enter closed session referenced Virginia Code § 2.2‑3711 and § 2.2‑3712 and specified personnel matters (appointment, promotion, performance, demotion, salary or resignation of specific employees), grievance appeals (employee case numbers T25‑002, T25‑003 and T25‑004), consultation with counsel on probable litigation and legal implications of a development proffer related to a county rezoning application, and security‑related briefings that would be jeopardized by public discussion.

Board members noted there was no public discussion of the personnel details in open session beyond the formal motions and vote tallies. The record shows the board followed the formal certification procedure on returning to open session, adopting a certification resolution stating that only lawfully exempted public business was discussed and that discussion was limited to matters identified in the motion to convene the closed meeting.

The board’s formal actions are reflected on the meeting record; no further personnel details were disclosed in open session.

Ending

The board moved from personnel action items into the meeting’s public agenda items, beginning with the Pledge of Allegiance and the Thriving Futures recognitions segment. The superintendent and board chair indicated that written notices reflecting the board’s decisions would be issued to the employees referenced in the dismissal motions.","The Prince William County School Board approved appointments and releases of employees and unanimously upheld the superintendent’s dismissal recommendations in three separate employee cases (T25-002, T25-003, T25-004) after a closed session called under Virginia open-meeting exemptions.","actionData","errors"]
