The presentation focused on the board’s School Intervention Program (referred to in the meeting as SCIP or Skip), which Lido said delivers case management and outpatient therapy directly inside participating schools to reduce barriers such as transportation and scheduling. \"We are the single point of entry and leading authority in mental health and developmental services in our catchment,\" Lido said, describing the board’s Suffolk, Franklin, Isle of Wight and Southampton locations and the Isle of Wight counseling center.

Why this matters: Board members asked detailed questions about how students start receiving services and how parental consent is obtained. Lido described multiple entry paths, including same‑day access when parents bring a child to the center, and school‑initiated referrals after school staff notify parents. She emphasized that services do not start until required consents and an assessment are completed. \"So definitely nothing going on, prior to those consent pieces falling into place,\" she said.

Program scope and services: Lido listed core components delivered through Skip at schools: case management, outpatient therapy, and connections to medication management, crisis stabilization (BRIDGES) and the Extended Community Crisis Stabilization program (ECCS). Skip staff also provide short‑term de‑escalation and resource navigation in crisis situations. Lido said Skip currently operates in four Isle of Wight schools: Westside Elementary, Smithfield Middle School, Smithfield High School and Windsor High School.

Referral steps and limits: According to Lido, referrals from schools require the school to contact the parent and obtain consent, submit a referral form to Skip staff, and then the Skip scheduling team contacts parents to set an assessment appointment; no in‑school services begin until that assessment with the parent is completed. She said Skip can also provide community‑based services to students from schools where Skip is not embedded, using case management or outpatient therapy from the Isle of Wight counseling center.

Board response and next steps: Superintendent Dr. Paul Kramer and several board members thanked Western Tidewater staff for the work and noted the value of on‑site services to reduce burdens on guidance counselors. Lido said the agency aims to expand school‑based coverage and continue coordination with guidance staff and families. The presentation was informational; the board did not take formal action.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","School Board Meeting 4/10/2025","oneSentenceSummary","Samantha Lido, clinical services supervisor at the Western Tidewater Community Services Board, told the Isle of Wight County School Board on April 10 that her agency provides school‑based mental‑health supports and case management in four Isle of Wight schools.","taxTitle","ISLE OF WIGHT CO PBLC SCHS, School Districts, Virginia","taxId",61488,"location","Virginia","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6039588,"Votes at a glance: Isle of Wight school board approves SPED and gifted plans, military‑children resolution and routine personnel actions",4249,142000,4391000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3783891-a9b7f285aff52447322545c4b2f040ce&start=142&end=4391","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3783891-a9b7f285aff52447322545c4b2f040ce/thumbnail_142000.jpg","/articles/6039588/Virginia/Votes-at-a-glance-Isle-of-Wight-school-board-approves-SPED-and-gifted-plans-militarychildren-resolution-and-routine-personnel-actions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6039588-a036b2cd1c83ee1d6838369b1fa377e2/orig.mp4?Expires=1770741799&Signature=QCbNEiimoJoCnrQ~-RubIAw-BU6YihE0R32Mx7Dv5B2QBAwbgwbRU1~mJkYutZi3dEPl3F-VwcAIuVFifM3P7OxnpUtl~DEI5Vvy8~hXQqm2ABtI5x~QLePmlp~7P0X7z2AT0H51Hq2ei99UhhwaEUlAxfnW9ynZZnL3yDOXkY3R1kp5YQF8MMKrgjDwaZ38B2EFKXy06SO5x40qFM58smovUQHLjpMDnKjllP4ni8HyQ4yVmottIJw5P1zaBBIB9ymN0h7eiFyqM4EY~md8PL7PRAFviouFLpv7LlSpNneMODb4-M03D4nsxUV35hpbj9g4gZ1Zsguzo7uP0ETrJg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Isle of Wight County School Board took several formal actions at its April 10 meeting.

Reverse job fair and employer engagement: The division held a reverse job fair that invited business partners into school CTE spaces rather than bringing students to a central venue. The director said more than 40 business partners from Windsor High and Smithville High attended, and that the format yielded employer interest in student resumes, follow‑up meetings and job offers; last year the event led to more than 19 student hires.

New and expanded credentials: The division launched a Patient Care Technician (PCT) cohort as an expansion of its nursing assistant (CNA) pathway. Six students were listed as newly certified PCT participants; the CTE director said those students will be eligible to pursue additional credentials such as EKG and phlebotomy through the program. The program supports direct entry into health‑care employment or continued training.

Middle‑school maker spaces and renovations: The board saw video and descriptions of renovated tech labs and maker spaces at Georgie Tyler Middle School and Smithville Middle School that mirror high‑school CTE spaces. Presenters said the renovations were intended to expose middle‑school students to welding, robotics, engineering and manufacturing pathways earlier so they can make informed course choices in high school.

Partnerships and next steps: Presenters cited partners including Old Dominion University, GoTech and the Hampton Workforce Council for grant support and lab renovations. The director said a CTE signing day is scheduled for May 21 and that the division will continue employer outreach and tours to convert interest into internships and employment opportunities for students.","The board heard updates on career and technical education: a reverse job fair that brought over 40 business partners into school labs, a new Patient Care Technician cohort and renovated maker/tech labs at middle schools designed to strengthen pathways into high‑school CTE and local employment.",{"_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},6039598,"Child Nutrition review: meals back in‑house, EPAR review, menu changes and new secondary offerings",263,3287000,3550000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3783891-a9b7f285aff52447322545c4b2f040ce&start=3287&end=3550","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3783891-a9b7f285aff52447322545c4b2f040ce/thumbnail_3287000.jpg","/articles/6039598/Virginia/Child-Nutrition-review-meals-back-inhouse-EPAR-review-menu-changes-and-new-secondary-offerings","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6039598-3bc429c5d1a77be1fe5632e85f33fc65/orig.mp4?Expires=1770741799&Signature=e3L7NXXI9Y4dbmMAuE8B6vFDPVncVYg7WCLA7qK0za8AySdFODp194c10OeYhJfFKo0UsMOYFyjwnl9ifZz8sG-gc6hQL7wPbjeZuJfdS-oPSlUfu1-IQCt3qC3N895Ra~VpYpY2tgg3Azz1g-04IQrUOb5ylG0OfQNDQLGiB5GHgBUwJeGI8OTxiL3QNTot-CvZUilVsHySVK6aGXIzXyWS1-FepZTFtM7EQJzmT8NavTQv3db~4rn17wjn7SXkmlSw5iMnEpWTBK0tH6hyg~y22H5FmNmuQroExPWvB-jy~S8KNgL8k1lNiVPUM2Gh~sSFlp6VdsJfeL2cdg5VNA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Child Nutrition leaders told the board on April 10 that the division’s decision to move meal service back in‑house has produced operational changes, higher participation and corrective work identified in an EPAR (review) that the department is addressing.

Participation and menu changes: Staff reported a 17% increase in breakfast participation and a 6% increase in lunch sales compared with the prior year. Secondary schools have restored salad bars and pilot kiosks (Smithville High’s iced coffee kiosk) and added ice cream service and expanded a self‑serve line at secondary cafeterias to increase student participation.

EPAR review and compliance work: Division staff said state reviewers conducted production record checks, school visits, and interviews and identified equipment, recordkeeping and portion‑control areas needing improvement. Child Nutrition staff described steps taken: increased staff professional development, equipment audits and repairs, freezer alarms, a new food‑service van for interschool transfers and plans for summer scratch‑cooking training. The department said it will remove certain food dyes by the 2027 federal/state deadline and is coordinating with vendors.

Budget and operations: Presenters described savings strategies — better commodity use, tightened inventory and production records, and new revenue from kiosk and secondary sales. They acknowledged a year‑to‑date cafeteria fund deficit but said timing of revenue posting and a pending inventory system implementation are expected to reduce the deficit when monthly revenue is recorded.

Community response and next steps: Board members praised staff for bringing the program in‑house and asked for continued student feedback; staff said they plan additional student focus groups, more scratch‑cooking sessions for staff this summer, and continued equipment and compliance work. The presentation was informational; no board action was taken.","Child Nutrition staff reported that the district brought meal service back in‑house, completed an EPAR (program review), increased meal participation, and is rolling out new options such as a coffee kiosk and salad bars while preparing to remove certain food dyes by 2027 per USDA guidance.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6039602,"Isle of Wight joins ODU 'Grow Your Own' apprenticeship program; five local paraprofessionals selected",575,2885000,3460000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3783891-a9b7f285aff52447322545c4b2f040ce&start=2885&end=3460","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3783891-a9b7f285aff52447322545c4b2f040ce/thumbnail_2885000.jpg","/articles/6039602/Virginia/Isle-of-Wight-joins-ODU-Grow-Your-Own-apprenticeship-program-five-local-paraprofessionals-selected","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6039602-de78a3ebf9ab29c5bd6a3e858fea7fc6/orig.mp4?Expires=1770741799&Signature=O3Q1-PDJO24BBgV3YsN-B0teLAYR5nYfDszLxx2DdUXZnFsm211avHj-51n0Fc6~XELViBp6WSTqg8g9r1PgdQuZNH9nvUZaLI1cddMrw6gDNOc~WHz1UFdF5d4cxHbu5et~IxeWPIY13~2yZlG4bRv~B9W5kxroIiVO3A3Zy~QodsLFlOTpdmRZbp69k2qKJaqOt~UKGUoBOl71f0Icbit79p9zp~hOWEDnVVPnDdKdFLePgbB~e~4bVYW4TApcjBGvcakMgi9kTkrO4WvqlchRZB-XDwI9VT~MN8pZgtgpct37ggxHSlvpxZP2G1LvkA8uZdlOGsek3U5xRuQ7Ug__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Isle of Wight County Schools officials reported April 10 that the division has secured five apprenticeship slots in a teacher apprenticeship program run by Old Dominion University with funding from the Virginia Department of Education.

The program, described by presenters as a registered teacher apprenticeship pathway, allows current paraprofessionals with qualifying credits to earn a bachelor’s degree and teacher licensure while working in the district. Old Dominion University is acting as fiscal agent and administrator for participating divisions; the presenters said ODU received funds from the Virginia Department of Education to support 45 apprentices across partner districts and Isle of Wight was allocated five of those slots.

Program details: Apprentices will start coursework in May (Maymester) and will continue summer and regular terms through practicums and coursework; the apprenticeship cohort is scheduled to complete by June 30, 2027. The division said the program is structured to be no cost to participating candidates: presenters said tuition, textbooks and technology fees are covered, and candidates were asked to apply for Pell grants or other aid but will not carry student loans for the apprenticeship. Mentor teachers approved by the division will be paid $2,000 per candidate they supervise.

Participants named by the division include paraprofessionals Claudia Sheeler (Smithfield Middle School, special education pathway), Caitlin Jones (Smithfield Middle, elementary path), Heather Jordan (Windsor Elementary, elementary path), Lexus Brinkley (Windsor Elementary, elementary path) and Riley Holding (Carrollton, special education path). The presenters said the apprenticeship cohort was selected through an application and transcript audit process.

Retention and pipeline elements: Presenters said the division is negotiating commitments for licensed participants; board members were told that when candidates complete licensure they will be expected to teach in Isle of Wight for a defined period (presenters stated a three‑year commitment). The division also described complementary efforts to develop CTE‑to‑paraprofessional pipelines in high school that can feed the apprenticeship program.

There was no formal vote; the item was informational and board members asked questions about obligations and funding.","School division staff told the board that Isle of Wight will partner with Old Dominion University as fiscal agent for a VDOE-backed 'Grow Your Own' teacher apprenticeship program. The program picks up costs for apprentices' degrees, provides mentor pay, and requires a local service commitment when licensed.","actionData","errors"]
