Outgoing superintendent Tamisha Grimes highlights system changes, cites $12 million energy work
Summary
In her final report June 12, Superintendent Tamisha Grimes summarized six years of district work — device distribution during COVID, financial system modernization, hiring assistant principals — and cited roughly $12 million for HVAC/energy upgrades as a major grant-backed project.
Outgoing Superintendent Dr. Tamisha Grimes delivered her final report to the board on June 12, calling it her "final school board meeting" after six years with Nottoway County Public Schools and summarizing her office’s accomplishments and priorities.
Grimes credited district staff and leaders for pandemic response measures (device distribution for students), modernization of the financial accounting system, creation of assistant-principal positions at four schools, and an increased focus on instructional leadership and principal development. She said the division has worked with external partners (e.g., Abbott Consulting, UVA) on professional development and the division’s 90-day plan.
On facilities, Grimes said the district secured a "massive grant" for HVAC and energy efficiency work; a fellow speaker corrected an initial figure in the meeting and the record indicates a $12,000,000 project to begin updating buildings. "Research says it takes about 3 to 5 years for outcomes to be seen," Grimes said as she described long-term efforts to improve instruction and infrastructure.
Grimes closed by thanking staff across departments and offering "Godspeed." Board members and attendees thanked her for her service; the meeting proceeded to other agenda items including committee reports and facility updates.
Sources and evidence: Dr. Grimes’s remarks were delivered on the record during the June 12 meeting; a colleague clarified the grant amount as $12 million during the exchange.
