Board approves multi‑year school support plans required by VDOE, enabling school improvement funding applications
Summary
The Roanoke City School Board approved federally required multi‑year school support plans (MSSPs) for targeted schools and authorized the superintendent to submit the plans to the Virginia Department of Education's Office of School Quality to pursue school improvement funding.
The Roanoke City School Board voted Feb. 10 to approve the Multi‑Year School Support Plans (MSSPs) for federally identified schools and authorized the superintendent to sign the plans for submission to the Virginia Department of Education’s Office of School Quality.
Archie Freeman, the district's chief instructional and administrative officer, told the board the MSSPs (previously called CSSPs) outline evidence‑based strategies aligned with Department of Education guidance and will be actively monitored for fidelity and progress toward improvement goals. Freeman said the plans are required for the district to apply for school improvement funding tied to each school's identified reporting group and noted the plans will be made available on the division's website.
Board members moved and seconded the motion; the chair called for a voice vote and said the motion carried. Approval allows the division to proceed with the application process and to monitor implementation as described in the plans.
What happens next: Superintendent White will sign and submit the MSSPs to the VDOE Office of School Quality; the division indicated the plans will be posted publicly and used to guide monitoring and spending tied to school improvement grants.
