CITIZEN COMMENTS 5.01 Citizen Comments Heba Soliman: Ms. Soliman is an 11th-grade student at Stafford High School. She stated that, due to the numerous school shootings that have occurred across the nation over the past year, she and her fellow students are extremely nervous about their safety at school. She stated that the school division should install more security guards and cameras, and implement stricter consequences for those who make threats. She also stated that teachers and staff should begin teaching social and emotional skills to help young people learn how to control emotions, recognize others’ feelings, and negotiate. (Ms. Soliman provided a written copy of her comments.) Caylee Curfman: Ms. Curfman is a 12th-grade student at Stafford High School. She stated that, according to USA Today, there have been 25 fatal school shootings since the Columbine High School massacre 19 years ago. She also stated that she has been in lockdowns that were chaotic, with no one knowing what to do. She believes lockdown drills should be conducted on a recurring basis throughout the school year, and that newly hired teachers should also receive lockdown training immediately upon entering the school division. The training should instruct staff and students on how to react to a lockdown when they are at lunch, between classes, at the end of the school day, etc. (Ms. Curfman provided a written copy of her comments.) Sophie Capra: Ms. Capra is an 11th-grade student at Stafford High School. She stated that, according to Mental Health America, rates of youth with severe depression in America increased from 5.9% in 2012 to 8.2% in 2015. Additionally, 76% of youth have insufficient or no treatment options, even for severe depression. Keeping in mind that students spend an average of 6.62 hours per day and 181 days a year in school, it is vital that school divisions provide adequate resources for students who are struggling with mental health issues. She urged the School Board to implement support groups, educate staff on the warning signs of student depression, and post suicide prevention posters in schools. (Ms. Capra provided a written copy of her comments.) Approved by the School Board on March 27, 2018. P a g e 2 Regular Meeting February 27, 2018 Jacqueline Capra: Ms. Capra is an 11th-grade student at Stafford High School. She stated that the school division should add more security cameras and school resource officers (SROs) in the schools. Additionally, students should be trained on how to respond during an emergency when they are in an outside area of the school (for physical education classes, etc.), during lunches, and during class changes. She polled a number of students and staff at her school, and none of them were able to explain what the division’s response plan was for students who find themselves in these areas during a lockdown situation. Ms. Capra also stated that the division must keep up with the growing mental health issues experienced by youth today. (Ms. Capra provided a written copy of her comments.) Sandra Morofsky: Ms. Morofsky stated that she is a native of the county, and her children attended Stafford schools. She urged the School Board to start a new program in the division called Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD). According to her research, the Commonwealth does not yet have a SADD chapter. This is an after-school program, with each chapter being run by the students along with a school staff member. Ms. Morofsky stated that she lost her beloved grandson last year to suicide in another state. His school has started a SADD chapter. She added that there is a student named Lily Hoit at Brooke Point High School who is very interested in starting a SADD chapter at her school. Ms. Morofsky provided her contact information so that school division staff could contact her to discuss this suggestion in detail. (Ms. Morofsky provided a written copy of her comments.) Lily Hoit: Ms. Hoit is a sophomore t at Brooke Point High School. She stated that she is very interested in starting a SADD chapter at her school. She believes that mental health issues could be solved through this program. Ms. Egan asked Ms. Hoit to contact her to discuss this suggestion further. Roxanne Allegretti: Dr. Allegretti is a local pediatrician who has a daughter at Brooke Point High School. She stated that a national group called Youth in Power will hold a national school walk-out event for 17 minutes on March 14. This is to honor the 17 people who were killed at the recent school shooting in Florida, and to show the nation’s leaders that citizens are serious about the need for improved school safety. Dr. Allegretti urged the School Board to allow students to participate in this event, and to not penalize the students for taking part. Lindsey Ross: Ms. Ross stated that she has a daughter at Gayle Middle School. She read a moving poem that she wrote about school safety. Andy Hayes: Mr. Hayes is president of the Stafford Education Association. He stated that teachers are contacting the association for direction on how to handle the current school safety conversation across the country. How should they handle student walk-outs? Mr. Hayes also urged the School Board to table their scheduled vote on the proposed Fiscal Year 2019 (FY19) budget. This would allow teachers, school employees, and local citizens to review the six documents that were distributed this afternoon. Amanda Hamilton: Ms. Hamilton stated that she and her family are Department of Defense personnel who recently moved into the county. She stated that without proper training and instruction, staff are unable to properly and consistently follow school safety measures. She has been able to walk into her child’s school without being stopped by staff or having her identification verified. Jack Cavalier: As chairman of the Public Safety Committee of the Board of Supervisors, Mr. Cavalier stated that he wants the School Board and the Board of Supervisors to work together on the issue of school safety. He stated that the two boards should commit more resources to ensure school security. It is imperative that the boards develop a new action plan for school security and implement it promptly. He stated that the sheriff is fully willing to work Approved by the School Board on March 27, 2018. P a g e 3 Regular Meeting February 27, 2018 with the school division on this issue, and he recommended that the School Board consider bringing in an outside consultant, as well. Mr. Cavalier also strongly urged the School Board to insert a placeholder in their proposed FY19 budget for security enhancements. He will support the funding for that. Jennifer Lombardo: Ms. Lombardo is a paraprofessional at a Stafford County school, and she has personally attended one of the active shooter training events provided by the Sheriff’s Office. She recommended that the school division implement this as a new required training for all employees on an annual basis.

    2015 Annual Report Virginia Board of Education VIRGINIA BOARD OF EDUCATION’S 2015 ANNUAL REPORT ON THE CONDITION AND NEEDS OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN VIRGINIA PRESENTED TO THE GOVERNOR AND GENERAL ASSEMBLY NOVEMBER 2015 1 COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA BOARD OF EDUCATION P.O. BOX 2120 RICHMOND, VIRGINIA 23218-2120 November 2, 2015 The Honorable Terry McAuliffe, Governor Members of the Virginia General Assembly Commonwealth of Virginia Richmond, Virginia 23219 Dear Governor McAuliffe and Members of the Virginia General Assembly: On behalf of the Board of Education, I am pleased to transmit the 2015 Annual Report on the Condition and Needs of Public Schools in Virginia, submitted pursuant to § 22.1-18 of the Code of Virginia. This report articulates major improvements, accomplishments and challenges facing public education in the Commonwealth. The Standards of Learning (SOL), both the learning expectations and concomitant assessments, have provided a foundation for increased student achievement for nearly two decades and have helped make Virginia’s public schools among the nation’s best. However, twenty-first century accountability is more than just achievement on a series of tests. The Board of Education believes an effective accountability system is one that recognizes growth in student achievement; rewards, encourages, and promotes continuous improvement; and creates a school climate that engages students and retains and attracts highly effective and innovative teachers, and school administrators who inspire students to learn at high levels. The Board believes we must work with our education partners to further improve public education by: Creating an accountability system that promotes continuous improvement, acknowledges progress, and measures quality across a broad spectrum of indicators; Building capacity in schools and school divisions to support the unique needs of all students, teachers, and administrators; and Fostering positive, safe, and healthy school climates that promote high student achievement and social and emotional development.
