District staff gave the board the following divisionwide pass rates for the 2024–25 school year: reading 78%, writing 82%, mathematics 80%, science 73% and history/social sciences 73%. Presenters noted the state introduced more rigorous reading and math standards this year and that direct pre‑pandemic comparisons are complicated by changes in standards and assessments.

\"We had new standards last year for reading and math,\" one presentation noted, and administrators said the staff prioritized alignment of curriculum and assessments with the new expectations. They also flagged gains in particular middle‑school science results and singled out Windsor High School for notable reductions in chronic absenteeism.

Board members stressed the link between staffing stability and outcomes. Superintendent Dr. Kramer told the board the division is beginning a compensation study and is concerned about teacher retention. \"We are beginning to lose teachers. We're losing them because of pay,\" he said, urging that competitive compensation and reduced turnover are essential to long-term gains.

Staff also reported large numbers of early‑career teachers in the division: about 44 educators with zero to three years of experience. Administrators described ongoing professional development, mentor‑mentee programs and instructional coaching intended to support new teachers and improve consistency across classrooms.

Board members asked for follow-up detail on remediation and how the division measures remediation effectiveness. Administration committed to return with a more detailed remediation success analysis and with accountability data once the Virginia Department of Education finalizes school framework results in the coming weeks.

The presentation also included other indicators the board cited as positive: a declining district chronic‑absenteeism rate and the division’s early submission of the annual report to the state.","Administrators presented 2024–25 Standards of Learning (SOL) pass rates and said Isle of Wight County Schools remain above state averages in aggregate but still trail pre-pandemic pass levels in several subjects.

Jamie Oliver, county director of transportation, described a grant‑funded pilot developed with the city of Suffolk. \"We'd like the school board's concurrence to use up to 4 parking spaces at the corner of the lot at Georgie Tyler to be converted into what would function as park and ride spaces to serve a bus stop,\" Oliver said. The proposed plan places the bus shelter on Court Street and would not route buses into the school parking lot.

Oliver said the pilot would run roughly four round trips a day once buses are available and said the county would post signage, prohibit overnight parking and follow the division's standards for public behavior at school property. The county planned two stops in Isle of Wight: one near the 460 Commerce Center and one at the proposed Georgie Tyler/Court Street location.

Board members voiced concerns about the immediate parking impact and possible growth if riders increased, asking where additional vehicles would park should demand exceed four spaces. Oliver said the county would reevaluate location and expand parking if needed, and highlighted that the pilot's schedule would avoid morning arrival and dismissal windows.

After discussion the board voted to table the request for one month so members could inspect parking at peak use times and return with more detailed operational information. The board's recorded vote to table was unanimous (Kolick, Cunningham, Perkins, Wooster, Marsh all voted yes). Administration and county staff said they would follow up with site observations and a revised plan at the Oct. meeting.","Isle of Wight County transportation staff asked the school board for permission to convert up to four parking spaces at Georgie Tyler Middle School into a park‑and‑ride for a pilot Suffolk Transit route.

Superintendent Dr. Kramer told the board the division will identify funds for the current year and that the administration will report back on the source of those funds. \"We are committed to identifying the funds for this current school year. So we will find the funds,\" Dr. Kramer said during the meeting.

School administrators and safety staff described gaps in staffing that limit the district's ability to run weapons-detection systems and conduct secondary screening without taking classroom staff away from instruction. The division sought a contract that would provide seven full-time-equivalent security positions — including a division-wide lead — supplied through a vendor so the district can staff schools during the eight-month school year without adding permanent salaried positions immediately.

\"We're looking to add 7 school security officers to our division,\" a district safety staff member said in the presentation, describing proposed coverage at both high schools and several middle schools and a floating \"ROVE\" lead who could cover absences and training needs.

Administration presented a vendor estimate of about $305,000 for the contracted service for the remainder of SY 2025–26, described in discussion as roughly $40,000 per officer and $60,000 for the lead position. The board discussed whether to treat the expenditure as a one‑time contractual cost this year and to include any ongoing funding requests in next year’s budget process.

Board members pressed for assurances on training and consistency. Administrators said the county had vetted vendors that provide Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) school-security‑officer training and that vendors would be asked to provide consistent officers so students see the same faces day to day.

\"We don't need to have one security officer there one day and somebody completely different the next day,\" a district official told the board, noting that continuity helps officers build relationships with students.

After the presentation and a short discussion, Board Vice Chair Wooster moved to allow the superintendent to engage the contract; the motion was seconded and passed on a roll call with all five board members voting yes (Kolick, Cunningham, Perkins, Wooster, Marsh).

Board members and administrators said the contracted approach is intended to be interim: the vendor would supply trained staff quickly (administration said roughly 30–45 days to background check and training) while the division continues recruiting and while the FY27 budget and a compensation study are completed.

The board also discussed operational details such as scheduling so contracted officers avoid peak arrival and dismissal windows when possible and battery life for portable weapons-detection equipment. Administrators said detectors in use have been lasting about two days per charge and that SSOs are responsible for monitoring battery status.

The motion approved the superintendent's request to execute a contract for security services for the 2025–26 school year; administration will report funding sources and contract details to the board as they are finalized.","The Isle of Wight County School Board voted unanimously to let the superintendent contract private security to staff weapons-detection points and expand school security coverage for the 2025–26 year, approving an estimated $305,000 contract that equates to seven security positions.","actionData","errors"]
