  • November Brings Bernadette Mcglade and Michael Cuddyer
    We hope you enjoy the November edition of the Sportsline, the newsletter of The Norfolk Sports Club! Volume 32 #11 November, 2017 November brings Bernadette McGlade and Michael Cuddyer Join us on Monday, November 6th as we welcome AC10 Commissioner, Bernadette MCGlade! McGlade is in her 10th year as the Atlantic 10 Commissioner. Named commissioner in 2008, McGlade began working to shape the A-10 image and branding as one of the top 10 Division I conferences in the country. She led the conference through the development of a five-year Strategic Initiative Plan that was adopted by the Presidents’ Council in 2010. McGlade brought Final Four partici- pants George Mason and VCU, and Elite Eight participant Davidson as new A-10 members, adding academically strong bas- ketball-centric institutions. The success of the first strategic plan led to the development of a new five-year plan in 2016. McGlade negotiated a new media rights package in 2012 that enhanced the distribution, exposure and revenues for the con- ference through its national media partners, ESPN, CBS Sports Network and NBCSN. She spearheaded a multi-year partner- ship with Barclays Sports and Entertainment Group in Brooklyn, NY, to hold the A-10 Men’s Basketball Championship in the largest media market in the world. In 2014 she followed with a unique partnership between the A-10, the ACC and Barclays securing an additional three years in Brooklyn through 2021. She also secured PPG PAINTS Arena in Pittsburgh and Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. as the men’s basketball championship sites in 2017 and 2018.

    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.
