Mr. Pritchett wished everyone a Happy New Year and welcomed them back to the first meeting of the New Year. Following this, the Chairman asked Ms. Walker, the Clerk of the Board to bring the Board out of closed session. OPEN SESSION: The Clerk announced that the Board had just concluded its closed session. As required by Section 2.2-3712.D of the Virginia Freedom of Information Act, I will now take a roll call vote certifying that to the best of each member‘s knowledge (1) only public business matters lawfully exempted from open meeting requirements under the Act and (2) only such public business matters as were identified in the motion by which the closed session was convened were heard, discussed or considered in the closed session by the Board. Prior to the vote any member of the Board who believes that there was a departure from the requirements of 1 and 2 as read shall so state the same, indicating the substance of the departure that, in his or her judgment, has taken place. Does any member of the Board desire to make such a statement at this time? If not, I will now call the roll. ROLL CALL Ward One: Mr. Steven L. Pierce, Sr. (Vice Chairman) Ward Two: Mr. Fred B. Wilson Ward Three: Mr. Kenneth L. Pritchett (Chairman) Ward Four: Ms. Zelma S. Taylor Ward Five: Dr. Kenneth W. Lewis Ward Six: Mr. Bernard J. Lundy, Jr. Ward Seven: Dr. Elsie R.

MOMENT OF SILENCE Chairman Pritchett asked that the following persons to be remembered during the moment of silence: The Hanson Family, Ms. Barbara Hanson Venable, Receptionist, School Board Administrative Office, lost her mother, Mrs. Edith M. Hanson on Friday, January 4, 2009, at Southside Regional Medical Center, Petersburg, VA. Mrs. Hanson retired from Petersburg Public Schools after 30 years of faithful service with Westview Elementary School. Home going services were held today (January 9, 2008) at 1:00 p.m. at the New First Baptist Church, Grant Avenue, Petersburg, Virginia. Also, Mr. Lundy requested that we remember the family of J.T. Morriss. Mr. Morriss was certainly a pillar in our community. Mr. Morriss has provided this community with resources that have helped our city and community. C. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE The Pledge of Allegiance was recited in unison. D. SPECIAL RECOGNITIONS Dr. Victory introduced a couple of individuals, one of them has been in the family for quite some time, but now in a new position. Mrs. Vivian Brown, former Assistant Principal at Vernon Johns Middle School is the new Coordinator of Pupil Personnel Services. Her office is located here in the Petersburg Public Schools Administrative Building. Mrs. Brown is not new to the district and has held several positions in the district. 4 Ms. Kori Riddick, formerly the Assistant Principal at Peabody Middle School, is the new Interim Principal at J.E.B. Stuart Elementary School. Ms. Riddick has not been with us long, but has proven she‘s very capable of doing what is expected. Now, we have an individual I will recognize and only do part of the recognition, and I am going to let the person we are recognizing do the rest of it. The Board recognizes Mr. Handy L. Lindsey, Jr., Executive Director of the Cameron Foundation, and Ms. Ann Taylor, Chairman of the Foundation Board. As you all know, the Cameron Foundation is a true supporter of education. The Cameron Foundation approved a $60,000.00 grant to Petersburg Public Schools. This is a one-year grant for the cost of personnel, materials, supplies and transportation deriving from the implementation of an after-school tutoring programs in two elementary schools and the high school. E. PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD Chairman Pritchett recognized the following persons for public comments and asked that they adhere to the three-minute time frame. MR. LINWOOD CHRISTIAN - 410 Mistletoe Street MRS. DELORES SMITH - 410 Mistletoe Street MR. WILLIE NOISE, III. - 1508 Circle Drive MRS. GLORIA BROWN – 1557 South Sycamore Street MR. JOHN HART – 1646 Ferndale Avenue MR. JAMES FRANKLIN – 116 N. Plains Drive F: CORRESPONDENCE - (None) G: APPROVAL OF AGENDA/CONSENT AGENDA On a motion made by Dr. Lewis and second by Mr. Pierce, the Board approved the agenda and the consent agenda with the following amendments, Item II-C add the additional personnel action, Code #: 08-37 and also under the Information Item IV, move IV-D to IV-A and everything else will follow from there, so the After School Programming: Timely Tutoring – by Mrs. Cheryl Bostick will be presented first, and everything else will follow. The motion carried with a vote that was unanimous. ACTION ITEMS III. (A) Policy Regulation: JN-R – Student Fees, Fines and Charges – DRAFT – (2nd Reading) Dr. Victory reviewed the situation of lost textbooks and the need for recovering either the books or the money to replace the textbooks. After discussion Dr. Lewis suggested that the word ―of,‖ 5 after vandalism in the title before the word ―or‖so that it reads ―VANDALISM OF OR FAILURE TO RETURN PUBLIC PROPERTY.‖ Dr. Jarmon moved that the Board approve the policy ―Vandalism or Failure to Return Public Property‖. 2ND Motion – Mr. Pierce Motion carried Mrs. Tracie Coleman recommended disposing of the old cell phones through the Verizon Community Hope Line Program. Dr. Lewis moved to accept Mrs. Coleman‘s recommendation of disposing old cell phones. 2nd Motion – Mr. Lundy Motion Carried INFORMATION ITEMS (A) After School Programming Ms. Bostick said, ―as you know the Board agreed earlier to move this item forward,‖ and I think it truly compliments the recognition that we made earlier this evening. I wanted the community to know while Mr. Handy Lindsey and Mrs. Ann Taylor were in the room what we were actually going to utilize the $60,000.00 donation that we received earlier . Ms. Bostick indicated she was pleased tonight to present a very brief overview of the after school tutorial programming. She pointed out that, there is a definite need for the after-school tutoring programs here at Petersburg City Public Schools. The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 has brought increasing attention to the achievement gaps. The government decided to do an overview and keep monitoring the adequate yearly progress. We have such a great need here in Petersburg City Public Schools. There is a need for funding and through Dr. Victory‘s ideas and the Cameron Foundation we are the recipients of that beautiful check presented tonight. Ms. Bostick discussed the program followed by questions and discussion with the Board members. Following the Board‘s discussion, Chairman Pritchett called on the public for input and questions. Those responding were:. MR. WILLIE NOISE, III - 1508 Circle Drive MR. LINWOOD CHRISTIAN - 410 Mistletoe Street 6 MRS. GLORIA BROWN – 1557 South Sycamore Street After discussion, Mr. Pritchett thanked everyone for their comments, and once again, thanked the Cameron Foundation.

Stevens: The Railroad Depot: A Photographic Essay THE RAILROAD DEPOT: A PHOTO ESSAY by R. Randolph Stevens From 1830 through the 1950s railroads were the tie, the sinew, that bound our country together. Pioneers first traveled by using the lakes and streams. Eventually, roads were cut, canals dug, and finally track was laid to connect the seaboard towns and cities with the interior of the country. This transportation revolution had little effect on Florida until after the Civil War when two Yankee railroad builders, Henry Bradley Plant and Henry Morrison Flagler changed the landscape of central and south Florida. Their investments and foresight brought ribbons of track down the west and east coasts over the next few years, sparking an economic boom. In 1883, Plant’s South Florida Railroad came into Tampa, and the west coast began to grow in earnest. Before long twin rails extended down to Venice, Boca Grande, Naples and Everglades City.

  • 2 ALTERNATIVES 2.1 Study Corridor
    2 ALTERNATIVES The Record of Decision (ROD) for the Tier I Southeast High Speed Rail (SEHSR) environmental impact statement (EIS) identified a preferred corridor that runs from Washington, DC, through Richmond, VA, Petersburg, VA, Henderson, NC, Raleigh, NC, and Greensboro, NC, to Charlotte, NC, with a separate connection to Winston-Salem, NC. The focus of this Tier II document is the portion between Richmond, VA, and Raleigh, NC. The following section describes the Richmond to Raleigh Tier II study corridor, and the development of alternatives within the corridor. 2.1 Study Corridor The project study corridor provides boundaries for potential SEHSR rail and associated road alignments and includes areas where construction of the project could have direct impacts on the environment. Initially, the study corridor width was between 1,000 and 6,000 feet, centered primarily on the centerline of the existing rail right of way (ROW). This broad area allowed for the development of alternative alignments. Once potential alignments were proposed, the eastern and western limits of the study corridor were narrowed to a 600-foot corridor along each alternative (Figure 2-1). The study corridor begins at Main Street Station in Richmond, VA, and extends to the south, following the existing CSX S-line railroad across the James River and through Chesterfield County towards Centralia, VA. From Centralia, the study corridor follows the existing CSX A- line south to Dunlop, VA, south towards Ettrick Station on the west side of Petersburg, and across the Appomattox River. After crossing the river, it continues to follow the CSX A-line south through Petersburg.

  • Community Development Plan
    I. PLANNING PROCESS A. PURPOSE/NATURE OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN A Comprehensive Plan provides a framework to guide local leaders in decisions affecting community development. The Comprehensive Plan is a process whereby a locality can give direction to growth within its boundaries. Specifically, it is an official document which is adopted by a locality's governing body to serve as a policy guide for decisions about future physical development within a locality. The Comprehensive Plan, when completed and adopted by the City of Colonial Heights will provide a basis for decision making by the City Council and Planning Commission, as well as the City Manager and his administration, in daily operations. The Comprehensive Plan is general, comprehensive, and long-range in nature. It is comprehensive in that it examines all geographic areas and functional elements which affect future development. It is general in that it contains mainly general recommendations. It is long-range in that it considers distant problems and possibilities which will affect the locality's future. It is intended that the plan reflects the current objectives of local officials and citizens of the jurisdiction and is used in the decision-making process to prepare for anticipated conditions occurring within the next twenty years. The Comprehensive Plan is an important step in the growth and development of a locality. Unguided urban growth can waste tax dollars and valuable land. It can overburden existing water supplies and detract from overall environmental character. Unplanned growth can also lead to land use conflicts. Through Comprehensive Planning, a reasonable estimate of future population levels can be derived, and in turn, determination can be made as to the most suitable areas for this growth to occur, thus minimizing possible future land use conflicts.

  • All Aboard (Except People with Disabilities): Amtrak's 23 Years of ADA Compliance Failure
    All Aboard (Except People with Disabilities) Amtrak’s 23 Years of ADA Compliance Failure October 2013 www.ndrn.org NDRN is the nonprofit membership organization for the federally mandated Protection and Advocacy (P&A) Systems and Client Assistance Programs (CAP). Collectively, the P&A/CAP network is the largest provider of legally based advocacy services to people with disabilities in the United States. Cover photo courtesy of the Alabama Disabilities Advocacy Program Page | 2 National Disability Rights Network www.ndrn.org A Letter from the Executive Director Dear Friends, Transportation is the linchpin of community integration. Without it, many people with disabilities cannot go to work, go shopping, visit their friends and family, or accomplish many of the day-to- day tasks necessary to live in the community. Unfortunately, progress in providing accessible transportation has been slow and has required legislation and tireless and consistent advocacy. Critical pieces of federal legislation such as the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Air Carrier Access Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act, were necessary to start the process of breaking down the barriers to buses, trains and airplanes so that people with disabilities could use these sources of transportation daily. While many transportation providers around the country have shown that it is possible to provide accessible services for people with disabilities, one carrier – the National Railroad Passenger Corporation, or Amtrak – has lagged far behind. People with disabilities who travel on Amtrak have faced numerous barriers to using Amtrak. Some have faced inaccessible trains, others have been unable to purchase tickets to their destinations because the platforms and stations were inaccessible, and some have had to disembark at a station that was not their ultimate destination just so they could get off the train or out of the station.
