A board member described current runs that require drivers to travel from a Shenston-area drop location to the main bus garage and then back later in the day, saying the pattern increases fuel use and driver time. The member suggested returning buses serving Shenston and nearby routes to a closer terminal to reduce deadhead miles.

Administration said the district should first verify whether it still owns particular parcels and facilities in the area; it also noted that any terminal changes would require a financial analysis, including whether drivers would be paid for extra moves and whether the change would affect scheduling for extracurricular trips.

The board asked for a comprehensive inventory of county vehicles, titles and insurance status and for a report that shows who is assigned which vehicle, why they have it, and what driving patterns are. Jim (staff member) agreed to assemble that list. Several members recommended investigating GPS tracking and monthly usage reports to quantify possible fuel and maintenance savings.

Separately, the board was told interviews for the bus maintenance supervisor position were scheduled for the following week; administration said four candidates qualified to interview. Board members characterized the transportation and vehicle review as a potential cost-saving effort and asked administration to return with numbers and a recommended course of action.

Ending — Administration will provide a vehicle inventory and usage analysis and report back with options for potential depot relocations and fleet reductions.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Harrison County Board of Education","oneSentenceSummary","Members raised fuel and mileage concerns, discussed returning buses to an earlier terminal near Shenston, asked for a comprehensive inventory of county vehicles, and requested GPS/usage data to evaluate potential savings.","taxTitle","HARRISON COUNTY SCHOOLS, School Districts, West Virginia","taxId",13058,"location","West 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},6184804,"Board discusses SBA funding, shop project and future Bridgeport renovations",3594,166849,3761579,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5086469-9316d03031d5ede4d04aeb6de4f0d117&start=166&end=3761","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5086469-9316d03031d5ede4d04aeb6de4f0d117/thumbnail_166849.jpg","/articles/6184804/West-Virginia/Board-discusses-SBA-funding-shop-project-and-future-Bridgeport-renovations","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6184804-9e78e46630beb0cd944244247369769e/orig.mp4?Expires=1775112354&Signature=mjrQo-KmCQHOaVsuvvALf71lICwZnxJw3cjkpfZ~EHDk0WT~eXm5ecDMMpfWjHKU5UJTnVVYSRInQTO7E1a9GHTAO6gWu2t73lGp9ftvV42aUfkAjosRmlKR1WR9JOFS9WT8F4i~amUPbqkhaKoILSJzlnf9Uu-VOwFG9ZFAPooH2GjXswoFb3-O6zCd65U1cGXpQY46zB9w6nqaIevsCZSutldar8a9EVBZmYM~oYUOR8DbVlCx3~1ib2QygO8Z8SIGZ397GT3ZqR8EHeYBg3DCTsVZ-aSWC04K8da0B0BptX~2dJxDrbWlNBCt0lHod8JkDzYBO16aB6WYFGDnjg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","HARRISON COUNTY — At a special June 11 meeting, board members discussed facility planning, recent Small Business Administration (SBA) outreach, modular classrooms and the next major renovation priority in the district’s facilities plan.

Administration reported regular contact with the SBA this year and a figure was discussed in the meeting indicating the district has received “over $10,000,000” in SBA-related support for county projects. One board member later repeated a larger figure during discussion; administration clarified in subsequent remarks that the district’s work with SBA staff and the strength of facility plans have been favorably received. The superintendent told members that when presenting future projects to the SBA, the district wants a clear, ranked facilities plan so SBA officers can consider the next systematic project for funding.

Board members discussed use of modular classrooms while the new shop and other projects are completed. Administration said a modular unit already under contract would be removed and that the district had deferred funding from one year to apply to the BOAC program until a new shop is ready. Financial figures were discussed in the meeting: a recurring contract line at $49,000 was referenced, and board members noted an additional planned outlay near $50,000 to support short-term modular needs; those were presented as in-year estimates rather than finalized expenditures.

The maintenance shop project was described as under active planning. Administration said the district had received SBA money directed at the shop project and that the design-build team was discussing tools and equipment to ensure the building fits instructional needs. Separately, the board identified a Bridgeport High School renovation as the next major project on the district facilities list; administration said Bridgeport ranks at the top of the remaining items and that preliminary cost estimates had been developed.

Ending — The board asked administration to continue SBA outreach with a ranked project list, to detail modular-classroom costs and timelines, and to provide the Bridgeport renovation preliminary cost estimate for future board consideration.","Board members reviewed recent Small Business Administration outreach, said the district has secured SBA funds for a maintenance shop project, discussed modular classroom use and deferred facility funding, and identified Bridgeport renovations as the next facilities priority.",{"_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},6184809,"Board hears staff proposals to teach AI and build internal policy tools",596,450145,1046715,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5086469-9316d03031d5ede4d04aeb6de4f0d117&start=450&end=1046","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5086469-9316d03031d5ede4d04aeb6de4f0d117/thumbnail_450145.jpg","/articles/6184809/West-Virginia/Board-hears-staff-proposals-to-teach-AI-and-build-internal-policy-tools","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6184809-ef28f90d4734931fadf2f7cb5d9a585f/orig.mp4?Expires=1775112354&Signature=aRz8~PVIohEpA-F1Mt-iMuRrYgZ-GjkkP7erFtDRFOkw5EBBIgkIZRA-3U0yGFJgKbCsIXZqmsQAZ7d3qJSUGH~sdKdVvwZPFH2VSm7EJkLcYNeEVAIE3sKN3EnQ3aV8odnA6dmWU9U-LvptwmMoK6MRsceoI~duRJn-bHy5tG-JecfpToiUiV8xasNa5FH-UUUcQkfdjSng-1oMOL7yyhjy75k6kiVBQ-szqX5ANLuf3hmPGAIC00J1Sgb6XR-6Z6ymWW-cWRpw7f4mXG-SJbExTCJGimyHNoNlrUG2Au6WnEyDj-SdKWzJ~SNOVUJ19ex6me~qxVc-PQOB4rl2lA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","HARRISON COUNTY — Board members and staff spent a substantial portion of the session discussing how Harrison County Schools might use artificial intelligence in instruction, staff training and internal information systems.

Several board members said teachers should learn how to use AI tools and that the district should start considering instructional rollouts in the coming school year. A staff member said the state is developing an AI policy but that the district should prepare a mirror policy focused on classroom safeguards and teacher training.

District staff described three practical paths for AI work: 1) train teachers on AI tools that can increase productivity and generate grade-appropriate content; 2) develop teacher-level safeguards and assessment approaches so instructors can detect mismatches between a student’s known writing style and AI-generated work; and 3) build narrowly scoped chatbots that contain only district policies or the text of a single adopted textbook so students and staff receive guidance tied strictly to approved sources.

A staff member summarized the internal tool the central office is testing: \"What Todd and I have been trying to work on a little bit... you'll be able to — we wanna make it able to all the board members. If you have a question of, well, is this in code? Is this in our policies? You'll have a chatbot at your disposal that you can say, where's the what's the policy on shorts?\" The speaker emphasized the tool would be limited to district-held documents and would not be given unrestricted internet access.

Board members also raised non-instructional concerns: energy use for some AI research tools, the need for clear student-facing guidance, and recent court cases and state-level developments that may affect how personal data and student interactions with AI are handled. Members asked administration to draft an AI policy aligned with the forthcoming state guidance and to include classroom safeguards in any instructional rollout.

Ending — Administration said it will work with department leads to develop a draft local AI policy, explore teacher training options for fall, and pilot internal chatbots that index district policies and approved curriculum materials.","Board members discussed classroom uses of generative AI, teacher training, environmental and curricular concerns, and a planned internal chatbot to locate district policies for board members and staff.",{"_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},6184814,"Harrison County board reviews year-end survey, asks administration for focused goals and follow-up",5604,47715,5652495,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5086469-9316d03031d5ede4d04aeb6de4f0d117&start=47&end=5652","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5086469-9316d03031d5ede4d04aeb6de4f0d117/thumbnail_47715.jpg","/articles/6184814/West-Virginia/Harrison-County-board-reviews-year-end-survey-asks-administration-for-focused-goals-and-follow-up","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6184814-cbe093419d22338356c3272670001a77/orig.mp4?Expires=1775112354&Signature=KlvbShTxrkJaFSIGYEuQaMDJA-vH4ht6ghoHaXKTWzok0gocZUzJ51v22NYRnF9WzgEkqEl8ydDnjtF0i0CAkDaKqay8ll-RJirtZOxhsZnCDfLIcpWO7vdamRXZDsA2iyJuWNScNrSEJi0vtD-iUwppaSbvkGlM~kxEfyydlfjmEeuwrdt-kqgGxXYzJKlVHHrNeY3slc6r71W-75n5gCCilk3~8938wQsHfzfoOnbT6vNO-uIfDKCLGdCLU21KBlt1ze3Ugg2Zs02RRGT2suV0naq-mMtuPm9snR~wEiysZkmxqXreBjdSJys-POedoa3liAjlemEBppGN3RekDQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","HARRISON COUNTY — The Harrison County Board of Education on June 11 reviewed results of a year-end survey of parents, staff and students and directed administration to return with follow-up work and a short list of board goals.

Board members said the report included “strong praise for select school staff and programs,” but also showed a relatively low proportion of respondents who would recommend the district. Members asked administration to request a detailed respondent breakdown from the consultant and to schedule additional sessions to translate the survey recommendations into actionable goals.

Superintendent (unnamed) opened the special meeting by asking members what they would like to see moving forward and said administration could provide quarterly updates on items pulled from the survey. Board member Francis urged the board to prioritize a small number of “low-hanging fruit” initiatives and to set a timeline for the first six months. Maria Smith said the board should compile two or three focused items and then “whittle it down to three,” so the district would not be overburdened.

Administration reported that the consultant who produced the report has two in-person visits remaining and agreed that the consultant, Jennifer, should be asked to return for another session focusing on recommendations the board wants to implement. The board also asked administration to provide the demographic and response-rate breakdowns the consultant can supply so members can see how representative each finding is.

Discussion highlighted several recurring themes from the consultant’s recommendations: improving school culture and climate, expanding student leadership and secondary-level student engagement, making professional development more relevant to department needs, and strengthening family engagement and communication. Board members suggested practical steps such as more school-level recognition (teachers, staff, volunteers), inviting teachers to present instructional practices to the board, and increasing district visibility at school events.

The board set direction (not a formal vote) for administration to: request the consultant’s detailed response file; prepare options for two or three board goals grounded in the survey; and schedule a follow-up meeting to refine and adopt those goals. Members said they will each bring one or two suggested priorities to the next meeting.

The board adjourned after giving those directions; no formal policy changes were adopted at the session.

Ending — The board plans to reconvene with consultant input and a narrowed set of priorities; administration will provide the requested breakdowns and proposed timelines to guide implementation.","Board members reviewed a year-end survey of families, staff and students, asked administration to bring detailed breakdowns, and agreed to select a small number of focused goals to pursue over the next six months.","actionData","errors"]
