Superintendent said short-term fixes include possibly adding a bus if one and a willing driver are available; however, changing existing drivers' routes mid-year would require driver consent in writing. The superintendent said one particularly late run at Robert C. Byrd High (transcribed earlier as Seabert/Seaburn) was addressed with adjustments.

On safety, staff reported this is the first year weapons detectors have been deployed in all high schools. Some schools are asking for a second set of detector stations to speed morning entry and increase monitoring; the superintendent said she expects a request for additional sets and is working with each building to ensure they are used properly.

Board members noted that a full route review is planned for January, when feeder-area drivers will be brought in to rework runs. The board did not take additional votes on transportation or safety beyond authorizing staff to pursue necessary short-term equipment and operational fixes and to present longer-term route plans for board review.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","HCS Regular Meeting - September 16, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Board discussed ongoing transportation route issues, driver assignments and approval to seek additional weapons-detector sets for high schools to manage morning entry screening.","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},5980747,"Superintendent briefs board on data work, rising enrollment and focus on secondary math",133,222000,355000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5766430-2847265fc107ceedc4add9d6158945ef&start=222&end=355","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5766430-2847265fc107ceedc4add9d6158945ef/thumbnail_222000.jpg","/articles/5980747/West-Virginia/Superintendent-briefs-board-on-data-work-rising-enrollment-and-focus-on-secondary-math","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5980747-cda59488ef79c7cf0e707f39749d7377/orig.mp4?Expires=1770591844&Signature=cZRzFkpcsePwTA~FAqVm9zBUl-CXDFn4hQ7p8TgXGHCTAtMnx9AyHfbpavLMdOGcAT9vr-NjaXfeUxC5iyt1N28zdVSOaa8~j7ARzGfOF8m5YOE-gXHv9AGffG0s2JoAAj2vYVDWQnZ8JfrgRJRCWfHASls36Q91to9NeYXp8N1ZA-6jgpHKVDBxA0tKnkRDH0wXCTi9gMi6JBYFYc-bHfPIHrLTDJduxCnsLa1Eke5V1TUjcKz4FEAyqN~R2nb870cI9zApvGKjNrgPCC7~tzu450yBEctPKRDL~xmuwQqo62~r7n0np~GdgrLZh7ESooB~O3gK4ouQiJ4Kz4QqOw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Superintendent provided an update on school visits, enrollment and district data work at the board's Sept. 18 meeting, saying district enrollment currently totals about 8,927 students (not a certified total) and that the district will meet with the state the following day to review Harrison County's balance scorecard.

The superintendent said principals met Sept. 11 and that the district is offering data-analysis days for schools to dig into assessment results now available from multiple sources, including a state balance scorecard, a real-time data feed and other measures. Staff plans targeted support for secondary math, which the superintendent and curriculum leaders identified as a priority after reviewing proficiency patterns that show higher elementary scores than at middle and high school levels.

The district plans cross-grade comparisons of the same cohorts to understand where performance drops occur. The superintendent said the district will offer strategic-plan workshops for school teams and that central staff (Julie, Pam and Cissy) are working directly with schools to provide intervention and support.

The superintendent also reported that discipline and cell-phone violation statistics were distributed to board members and that principals will be asked to increase enforcement where needed. The district will continue analyzing data and expects the state meeting to clarify which metrics should be prioritized for proficiency.

Board members thanked the superintendent for school visits and asked for follow-up reporting after the state scorecard meeting.","The superintendent reported new enrollment totals, upcoming state scorecard review and district efforts to analyze data and target secondary math instruction.",{"_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},5980751,"Board engages auctioneer and authorizes appraisals for multiple district properties",125,1745000,1870000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5766430-2847265fc107ceedc4add9d6158945ef&start=1745&end=1870","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5766430-2847265fc107ceedc4add9d6158945ef/thumbnail_1745000.jpg","/articles/5980751/West-Virginia/Board-engages-auctioneer-and-authorizes-appraisals-for-multiple-district-properties","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5980751-352b2d4f822c4e6f7b4c1b6f70640f20/orig.mp4?Expires=1770591844&Signature=niXMSkVDH~5X3b6Ck6FZyMI3kzmKyoNlE1wghAuHH9MuNbsnHjtqrMeFaCFbZ3qWKoLKoE1nEYv~AWsJJIPL5qC36oTNED091SjTWL87QEiOzZxJkPxQPKi0SDstyQ7Dpeo3NRYAHoPdrJKqRCkjY-biWWn7aZ4N3hT5IRRfVSL0kJsa~xmpOsq5T-CbWwEtEgyy6ocDMU4cqe2y5QR4aDcmc8B84ROfCmWUlqASECFspT1lY18EUoyFaRSjXXYqDlZA-HKzM0fzjG6jtsE8DqlJPfhuZhQxmW2s1oV5id36nY9MjyGvQ~Chuxdf1JUuIvTpQQqUc91oLVsjti-pAw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Sky Board of Education voted to engage Kaufman Realty (auction services) on an on-call basis for potential real and personal property sales and to contract with Integra Realty Resources for appraisals of Northview Elementary and Washington Irving Middle School — and to include Heights Field — at $3,400 per school, $6,800 total, with a 21-day turnaround.

Board members clarified that engaging the auctioneer does not commit the district to immediate sale; the auctioneer is a firm on call and the district must still approve any specific auction listing. The board also discussed that any disposition would require separate review and potential negotiation with the city of Clarksburg and other stakeholders.

The motion to approve the appraisal engagement and auctioneer was approved by voice vote. Board members emphasized that no final decisions have been made on the properties and said the board is conducting due diligence to collect valuation and other facts before pursuing any sale or transfer.

Board members asked staff to pursue appraisal work and return findings; the record shows a 21-day timeframe for appraisal turnaround and staff said they will share results with the board when available.","The board approved an on-call auctioneer engagement and contracted appraisals for three district properties as it continues due diligence on potential dispositions.",{"_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},5980756,"School board approves preschool contracts, mental-health MOU and multiple purchase orders",103,1437000,1540000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5766430-2847265fc107ceedc4add9d6158945ef&start=1437&end=1540","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5766430-2847265fc107ceedc4add9d6158945ef/thumbnail_1437000.jpg","/articles/5980756/West-Virginia/School-board-approves-preschool-contracts-mental-health-MOU-and-multiple-purchase-orders","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5980756-06194af026251d875c5fab16b90eefdd/orig.mp4?Expires=1770591844&Signature=RvCwXjXkP9QYeLO-~L8oHQc6TB~HGBq6BDRBGtXS-l72fFoRxIpJwozQCUEyhc6RVwNW6rkEJoUEh73EY~dOWoxz84Dck1d7CQ9tSnOWEWTQrCUcOZxdFCrZWXvIYfz3Wjhjdv55lUa~vT739UKGMZr~~sfHX283cQfFOG4m5~rIxnIMSG74E3Uynvf~yqJ3vH6ix-ei94m6C5Ezji7DnWFvuN7O2dZHZFCo61tL-Wnb3KQubiyn~cd3xzhsEStx6Z04pBIt0aLINtA1Ur~J-N6KC4x9TKq63dL2vcxIFRdwGjLtWBuz-r1zFSimnz-HDOwndnBSj5ZN6y633QX0TA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Sky Board of Education on Sept. 18 approved a suite of contracts and purchase orders for the 2025–26 school year, including preschool partner agreements, a memorandum of understanding for school-based mental health services and several procurement recommendations.

The board voted to approve preschool agreements with Central West Virginia Community Action Head Start at a cost of $3,250 per student and approved preschool collaborative meal contracts that show Central West Virginia Head Start listed with no cost and a partner meal allocation of about $55,080. The board approved a memorandum of understanding with the National Youth Advocate Program to provide school-based and teletherapy mental-health services at Victory Elementary, Liberty Middle and Robert C. Byrd High School from Oct. 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026.

In purchasing actions, the board approved a recommended award to Kings Tire Service for bus/vehicle tire needs with federal funds not to exceed $145,000; awards to Bullseye Brands, Smart Mountain Pizza and other suppliers for child nutrition food and equipment with an estimated cost not to exceed $185,000 for Liberty Middle and Robert C. Byrd High School; and a recommendation to issue purchase orders to State Electric Supply company for maintenance supplies not to exceed $150,000. All actions were approved by voice vote with no recorded opposition.

Board members discussed how some vendors will supply on-site equipment (for example, pizza ovens that allow topping selection and automated cooking) and the superintendent and staff said they will pilot programs and monitor performance. The board also approved routine consent items and out-of-state travel for student groups, including a band trip to Washington D.C.

The motions carried after standard discussion; specific roll-call tallies were not entered into the record beyond unanimous \"aye\" votes on each item.

The approvals take effect immediately; the board did not attach additional conditions to the vendor awards during the meeting.","The Sky Board of Education approved preschool partner contracts, a memorandum of understanding for school-based mental health services, and multiple purchase orders for the 2025–26 school year during its regular meeting.","actionData","errors"]
