Summary

Norfolk Public Schools presented Rockstar Awards to recognize teachers for strong attendance or at least 95% student participation on literacy assessments, and the district congratulated Ingleside Elementary pre‑K teachers for meeting Virginia Department of Education quality expectations for the 2023‑24 school year, the transcript said.
Administrators visited schools to present the Rockstar Awards to teachers who were surprised and grateful for the recognition. One award recipient identified in the transcript as Speaker 17 said, "I am so excited. I'm surprised. This is amazing, and I love my school, so to be recognized is great." Another teacher, identified as Speaker 18, said, "You can't teach if you're not here. You can't learn if you're not here. So that's our fundamental prerequisite for academic success is you've gotta show up."
The transcript records that Ingleside pre‑K teachers were recognized by the Virginia Department of Education for meeting quality expectations for the 2023‑24 school year. The district presented these recognitions as acknowledgements of teacher and program performance rather than as the basis for specific policy or budget actions in the transcript.
