From NOVA to Southside, the Urban Crescent to the Rural Backbone, when inequities in education persists, there is a cost to all involved including missed opportunities for economic development, greater dependence on government supports, and fewer Virginians ready to serve and lead.\r\n\r\nVSBA President David Woodard has message to encourage participation in VSBA Students and Schools in Challenging Environments Month:\r\n\r\n[embed]https://youtu.be/u5eNxd3t3UU[/embed]\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3>Resources</h3>\r\n<blockquote><a href="https://www.vsba.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Challenging-Environments_2023-Guide-final-w-logo.pdf">Students and Schools in Challenging Environments Month Toolkit</a>\r\n\r\n<a href="https://www.vsba.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/2023-Challenging-Environments-Month_resized-2.png">Students and Schools in Challenging Environments Month graphic</a>\r\n\r\n<a href="https://www.vsba.org/vsba-task-forces/task-force-on-students-and-schools-in-challenging-environments/">Students and Schools in Challenging Environments Task Force</a></blockquote>\r\n&nbsp;', 'Students and Schools in Challenging Environments Month', '', 'publish', 'closed', 'closed', '', 'students-and-schools-in-challenging-environments-month', '', '', '2023-02-22 15:21:36', '2023-02-22 20:21:36', '', 1802, 'https://www.vsba.org/?page_id=1416', 41, 'page', '', 0),

The board also may elect a deputy clerk who shall be empowered to act in all matters in case of the absence, or inability to act, of the clerk or otherwise as provided by resolution of the board. These officers can be appointed only on recommendation of the division superintendent of schools. In some counties and cities, the division superintendent serves as clerk of the board. The law permits this, but there is considerable division of opinion about whether or not this is a desirable practice. In some instances, in which routine duties can be delegated to other employees, the arrangement has been satisfactory. In others, the superintendent''s time has been divided uneconomically between the positions.\r\n\r\nThe duties of the clerk of the board are specified by law. In general, the clerk must keep a record of the meetings and proceedings of the board, a record of all receipts and disbursements, a record of all his or her official acts, a file of vouchers, contracts, and other official papers, and, under the general direction of the superintendent, perform such other duties in connection with the school business of the county or city as may be required by the school board, or the Board of Education.The clerk is not a member of the board. He or she attends board meetings to record the proceedings and to supply the records and other information which the board may need.

The first in Jim Bearden’s 3-part webinar series for VSBA is where you’ll begin defining the components of the culture you want to create in your division. Most organizations have completed some variation on this same exercise, and most of their definitions consist of nice-sounding words and phrases. That’s just our starting point.\r\nUsing our responses to his pre-webinar questionnaire, Jim will walk us through three steps for translating cultural characteristics (nice-sounding words &amp; phrases) into specific behaviors. Those behaviors include the ones we expect from other division leaders (administrators) as well as those we expect from division employees.\r\nConsciously creating cultures that support behavior essential to division success is a process. This first step in the process is crucial; it is the foundation on which the subsequent steps are based. In this first webinar, we will lay a solid foundation.\r\n\r\n<strong>Part II: </strong>Most organizational leaders have defined the cultures they desire; ones I refer to as their professed cultures. Unfortunately, that’s where most of their conscious efforts to create cultures end. And that explains why so few of their actual cultures bear little resemblance to the ones they’ve defined.\r\nThe second of Jim Bearden’s 3-part webinar series for VSBA is where you’ll begin developing actionable plans for bringing your defined culture to life, one component at a time. Building on the foundation laid in the 1st webinar, Jim will provide specific guidelines for translating the cultural characteristics you’ve defined into the behavior you expect by:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li> Identifying &amp; eliminating barriers to that behavior, and</li>\r\n 	<li>Modeling the behavior you expect</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nLeadership matters! Since leadership behavior drives organizational culture, our focus in this and the third webinar will be on the things division leaders—board members and administrators—can do to close the gaps between what sounds good and what gets done.\r\n\r\n<strong>Part III:</strong> Consciously creating culture is a process, and one of the things we know about processes is that the new wears off most of them long before they produce the results for which they were begun. When the new wears off, most people’s interest and efforts wane, and the process is either abandoned or simply dies on the vine.\r\nIn this, the third of Jim Bearden’s 3-part webinar series for VSBA you’ll complete your actionable plans for consciously creating the culture you’ve defined. Building on the steps covered in his 2nd webinar, Jim will facilitate development of leadership behaviors (board member and administrator), for sustaining the process you’ve begun, including:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Measuring performance using expected behaviors as the standards,</li>\r\n 	<li>Honoring efforts and progress made to meet those expectations and</li>\r\n 	<li>Confronting unwillingness/bad faith.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nLeadership matters! In the absence of effective leadership, most organizational initiatives will be short-lived, superficial phenomena. By adapting and implementing the steps covered in this webinar series, division leaders will consciously create cultures that support behavior essential to division success. They will close the gaps between what sounds good and what gets done.\r\n\r\nContact VSBA to purchase\r\n\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>GOV 205</strong></h3>\r\n<strong>Being a Brand Ambassador</strong>\r\n\r\nWhen you’re trying to get your school division''s message and brand out to the public you probably already know the basics like social media, email marketing and electronic newsletters but there’s a huge resource that many leave untapped: engaging your stakeholders as a brand ambassador! One of the best ways to get the word out about your school division is by getting in touch with your target audience and leveraging them to embrace your brand. In other words, by building a brand ambassador program. This webinar will give a high-level overview of the importance of having an ambassador program and some tips on how to get started immediately.\r\n\r\n1 Hour- Paid Webinar- Contact VSBA to purchase', 'Governance and Leadership', '', 'publish', 'closed', 'closed', '', 'governance-and-leadership', '', '', '2022-06-07 13:09:31', '2022-06-07 17:09:31', '', 1604, 'https://www.vsba.org/?page_id=1606', 29, 'page', '', 0),

Yet there are non-college goers who fare as well, and in many cases, better than their college-going peers. New research from NSBA’s Center for Public Education shows that the right preparation in high school – one that combines high-level academics with modernized CTE  – yields benefits in terms of wages and good jobs at age 26 that compete with four-year degree holders. Moreover, the benefits convey to college goers, too. Join CPE director Patte Barth who will discuss the findings and how school districts can help all students prepare for a better future.\r\n\r\n1 Hour- Paid Webinar\r\n\r\nContact VSBA to purchase\r\n\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>STU 105</strong></h3>\r\n<strong>Bullying Prevention: School-Based Programs</strong>\r\n\r\nOctober is VSBA Bullying Prevention Month.

The average delay between the onset of symptoms and intervention is 8-10 years, with the stigma of mental illness being the number one barrier for youth in seeking help.\r\nFaced with this reality, Fauquier County Public Schools implemented a program to encourage and support school staff to become certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA). YMHFA is an evidence-based approach that teaches individuals how to help youth who are experiencing a mental health challenge.  Equipped with the information and skills provided in the YMHFA course, these "Youth Mental Health First Aiders” also help to spread the word that mental wellness is a topic that should be talked about and responded to as naturally as other health concerns. To date, the school division has nearly 500 staff trained in YMHFA. Staff members identify themselves as YMHFA certified by wearing purple lanyards. Join this webinar to learn about the Youth Mental Health First Aid program in Fauquier, including the implementation process and the program’s impact so far.

Introducing an office designed to support parents using the principles of Confidentiality, Independence, Impartiality and Informality (as recommended by the International Ombudsman Association) creates a number of opportunities and challenges for a K-12 environment. Opportunities include a greater sense of transparency, access to information, and identification of trending stakeholder concerns. Challenges include clarity on the role of the ombudsman, limits of confidentiality, and the range of parent concerns. The presentation will highlight the steps taken to clarify the desired outcomes for the establishment of the Office of the Ombudsman, discussions to define the role and requirements of the office, allocation of resources, establishment of office protocols, community response to the office, and a summary of the data and trends from our first year. Responses in the first year of the office were so strong, that the school board added an Assistant Ombudsman for Special Education and expanded the offices duties to include support for all employees.\r\n\r\n1 Hour- Free Webinar\r\n\r\n<a href="https://youtu.be/W53fKDyF6ZM">Available Here</a>\r\n\r\n<a href="https://www.vsba.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/HTO-201-Powerpoint-Slides.pdf">To view the slides, click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>HTO 202</strong></h3>\r\n<strong>PBIS: A System-wide Approach to Addressing Social, Emotional &amp; Behavioral Needs in ACPS</strong>\r\n\r\nIn an effort to support the academic, social-emotional and behavioral needs of all students, ACPS utilizes a Multi-Tiered System of Support, known as MTSS.  The social-emotional and behavioral component of MTSS is also referred to as PBIS, which is a framework that includes consistent school-wide practices and intervention strategies to encourage positive student behavior.  PBIS also serves to create and maintain positive learning environments for students and staff.  Restorative Practices are a part of this framework. Restorative Practices are based on the principles of Restorative Justice that emphasize the importance of positive relationships as central to building community and involve processes that restore relationships when harm has occurred. Restorative Practices utilize community circles as a Tier 1 practice to build strong positive relationships among all students and staff.  They also teach and model pro-social skills like sharing, listening, empathizing and problem solving which help to create emotionally and physically safe learning environments that promote respect, trust and accountability. This social skills instruction is aligned with the schoolwide expectations promoted by PBIS and the student competencies put forth by the ASCA National School Counseling Model. Together these PBIS and RP practices help to build an inclusive school culture which encourages connectedness among students and staff and shared ownership of the learning environment.\r\n\r\n1 Hour- Free Webinar\r\n\r\n<a href="https://youtu.be/tOfT1Pys_x4">Available Here</a>\r\n\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>HTO 203</strong></h3>\r\n<strong>Our Homegrown Culturally Responsive Teaching Model, an Evidence-Based Approach</strong>\r\n\r\nParticipants in this webinar will explore the journey of ACPS educators who have participated in a year of training, self-reflection on cultural biases, and application of Culturally Responsive Teaching leading to the production of evidence showing that achievement gaps in their classrooms or school were tackled.  Educators in ACPS are led through this process by peers who have demonstrated expertise as Culturally Responsive Educators, those who have proven to eliminate gaps through their application of the ACPS Three Characteristics of Culturally Responsive Teaching:\r\n\r\n(1) Demonstrating a deep understanding of how their cultures interact with the cultures of their students,\r\n(2) Using relevant curriculum and critical culturally responsive practices to increase rigor for their students, and\r\n(3) Building learning partnerships with families in service of the academic achievement of their students.\r\n\r\nThe Albemarle County Public Schools, Culturally Responsive Teaching model believes that teachers trained as culturally responsive educators should view underachievement not as a student or family problem, but as an instructional one, a personal challenge that our educators are transforming their teaching to address.\r\n\r\n1 Hour- Free Webinar\r\n\r\n<a href="https://youtu.be/xPwtnHGrt6g">Available Here</a>\r\n\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>HTO 204</strong></h3>\r\n<strong>What is Construction Management At-Risk (CMAR) and When Should School Boards Consider Using It?</strong>\r\n\r\nIn 2017 the state legislature made available another procurement method for public school construction, commonly referred to as “Construction Management At-Risk,” this is a construction project delivery method that has been used by many public and private institutions for many years and is now available to school divisions like yours. This webinar will include an overview of how this method works, how it differs from other methods, and why it may be advantageous for your construction projects.

Elizabeth Ewing, VSBA director of legal and policy services, is conducting a free webinar for school board members of divisions that use VSBA Policy Services who wish to learn more about this important service.\r\n\r\n1 Hour- Free Webinar\r\n\r\n<a href="https://youtu.be/lHaOtrPMs1A">Available Here</a>\r\n\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>POL 102</strong></h3>\r\n<strong>Rethinking Redistricting: Policy-Making for more Diverse, Equitable, and Inclusive Schools </strong>\r\n\r\nBoard members might agree that we could add school redistricting or rezoning to Ben Franklin''s expression about death and taxes: ". in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes...and rezoning." Much like the other two events, we all go through it, but why do we also dread it--particularly when it has so much potential to bring students together in more integrated learning environments? In this webinar we''ll discuss why these decisions can be so divisive and what we can do to make both rezoning processes and outcomes more equitable. Whether you caught the discussion at our fall conference or haven''t contemplated these issues at all, we''ll highlight how your board can approach what can be a contentious issue and challenging time.\r\n\r\n1 Hour- Free Webinar\r\n\r\n<a href="https://youtu.be/Y9X0embb06s">Available Here</a>\r\n\r\n<a href="https://www.vsba.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/POL-102-Powerpoint-Slides.pdf">To view the slides, click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>POL 103</strong></h3>\r\n<strong>Equity Policy 101</strong>\r\n\r\nIs your school division interested in developing an equity policy and doesn’t know where to start?

Vacancies arise for a variety of reasons, such as a school board member moving outside the division because of a job change, health issues that demand attention, and many other situations. Virginia law specifies the steps that elected school boards must take with regard to filling vacancies.\r\n\r\n1 Hour- Free Webinar\r\n\r\n<a href="https://youtu.be/VUFBpHGWz58">Available Here</a>\r\n\r\n<a href="https://www.vsba.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/POL-104-Powerpoint-Slides.pdf">To view the slides, click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>LEG 101</strong></h3>\r\n<strong>The Virginia Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)</strong>\r\n\r\nThe Freedom of Information Act has the laudable purpose of ensuring that citizens have ready access to public records and to the meetings in which the business of the public is conducted.  To the members of a public body, however, FOIA may sometimes seem like a hindrance to smooth operation.  The webinar will help school board members understand the purposes and requirements of FOIA and how to best meet those requirement in a legally defensible, efficient and fair manner.\r\n\r\n1 Hour- Paid Webinar\r\n\r\nContact VSBA to purchase\r\n\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>LEG 102</strong></h3>\r\n<strong>Statement of Economic Interest</strong>\r\n\r\nRecent legislation made substantial changes to the to the State and Local Government Conflict of Interests Act and to the Statement of Economic Interests Form that all school board members are required to file.  Learn about these changes and more so that you are prepared before the next filing deadline. <strong>    </strong>\r\n\r\n1 Hour- Free Webinar\r\n\r\n<a href="https://youtu.be/ObMgRlS8dcM">Available Here</a>\r\n\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>LEG 103</strong></h3>\r\n<strong>Student Dress Codes and the First Amendment</strong>\r\n\r\nThe application of the First Amendment to student speech in public schools is one of the most challenging areas of the law for school board members and administrators to navigate.  Students often use their attire as a means of expressing their opinion or support for a particular cause.  This webinar will explore the First Amendment implications of implementing and enforcing a student dress code that attempts to place limitations on the messages that may be displayed on student attire.\r\n\r\n1 Hour- Paid Webinar\r\n\r\nContact VSBA to purchase\r\n\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>LEG 104</strong></h3>\r\n<strong>Court(ing) Consequences: Educational and Other Impacts for Court-Involved Kids</strong>\r\n\r\nKids who become court-involved can face far-reaching consequences, and those consequences can reach far outside the courts.  This presentation will cover some of the implications for a child’s educational, professional, and personal life during and after court proceedings, including dependency cases and delinquency matters.\r\n\r\n1 Hour- Paid Webinar\r\n\r\nContact VSBA to purchase\r\n\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>LEG 105</strong></h3>\r\n<strong>School Boards and the First Amendment: Five Things Every School Board Member Must Know</strong>\r\n\r\nJoin Stacy Haney and Pakapon Phinyowattanachip for this webinar covering current First Amendment "hot topics" facing school boards today, including confederate flags, student protests, social media, and more.  Participants will gain valuable insights on how to ensure compliance with the First Amendment.\r\n\r\n1 Hour- Paid Webinar\r\n\r\nContact VSBA to purchase\r\n\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>LEG 106</strong></h3>\r\n<strong>Attorney Client Matters</strong>\r\n\r\nJoin Craig Wood and Micah Schwartz for this webinar covering Attorney Client Matters and give insight on who the division attorney serves.  Participants will gain valuable insights by listening to the scenarios that Craig and Micah go through during this webinar.\r\n\r\n1 Hour- Paid Webinar\r\n\r\nContact VSBA to purchase\r\n\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>LEG 201</strong></h3>\r\n<strong>Courthouse Steps to Schoolhouse Gates: Working with Court-Involved Children</strong>\r\n\r\nWhen students are involved in court matters -- whether those matters pertain to custody, delinquency, dependency, or other situations -- schools can often be caught in the middle.

Jordan, VSBA President and School Board Member in Norfolk City is the recipient of the 2020 Benjamin Elijah Mays Lifetime Achievement Award.\r\n\r\nThe Benjamin E. Mays Lifetime Achievement Award is presented by the National School Boards Association Council of Urban Boards of Education to a school board member who, for the span of his/her lifetime, has demonstrated a long-standing commitment to representing the educational needs of urban school children through his/her service as a local school board member.\r\n\r\nDr. Benjamin Elijah Mays is remembered for his outstanding leadership and service as a scholar, teacher, minister, mentor, author, and civil rights activist. Dr. Mays became a member of the Atlanta Board of Education in 1969 and served as its president from 1970-1981, where he tirelessly worked to provide equal educational opportunities for children.\r\n\r\n“There is no question that Rodney has dedicated his life’s work to improving the educational outcomes for students in the City of Norfolk, the Commonwealth of Virginia, and the entire Nation,” said Gina G. Patterson, executive director of the Virginia School Boards Association, “Rodney is an advocate for the students who do not have a voice to let them know that there is someone out there fighting for them every day and I am thrilled that he is receiving recognition for his work.”\r\n\r\n“Rodney tirelessly serves our Commonwealth as President of the Virginia School Boards Association, and his local school division, Norfolk City,” stated Virginia Secretary of Education Atif Qarni, “Rodney is an advocate for public education and personifies the qualifications described for recipients of this award.”\r\n\r\nRodney Jordan stated “Benjamin Mays! I know Benjamin Mays the great educator, the ‘intellectual conscience'' of the Civil Rights Movement. Receiving an award in his name has me speechless. And, I am not known to be speechless.” Jordan added “In the spirit of Dr. Mays, I understand no one receives such an award as this through individual effort, so on behalf of all the parents, students, school board members, educators, and community leaders I have had the honor and pleasure to work, I thank CUBE for honoring me.”\r\n\r\nRodney’s professional work as a digital inclusion visionary has taken him areas of the country, urban and rural, to work with stakeholders to improve access to broadband. He has dedicated his professional career to ensure that students and families have adequate access to the internet and are skilled in creative uses of technology to help to close the digital divide and encourage learning for all students. Jordan led the charge in Virginia to remove the word “failing” from use at the state level for public schools. Jordan vocalized the stigma that a “failing” label can bring to school divisions, teachers and students and he advocated for the change of terminology from “failing” to “challenged”.\r\n\r\nJordan has served as a school board member in the City of Norfolk since 2012. In 2013 Jordan became co-chair of the VSBA Task Force on Students and Schools in Challenging Environments and has presented at the state and national level on the work of the Task Force. In 2015 Jordan joined the VSBA Board of Directors and has served in the roles of Tidewater Regional Chair, Audit Committee Chair and President-Elect. Jordan is currently the President of the Virginia School Boards Association.\r\nMr. Jordan will be presented with the award at the 2020 CUBE Annual Virtual Conference September 22-24, 2020.', 'VSBA President Rodney Jordan Named the 2020 Recipient of the Benjamin Elijah Mays Lifetime Achievement Award', '', 'publish', 'closed', 'closed', '', 'vsba-president-rodney-jordan-named-the-2020-recipient-of-the-benjamin-elijah-mays-lifetime-achievement-award', '', '', '2020-10-31 10:27:19', '2020-10-31 14:27:19', '', 0, 'https://www.vsba.org/?p=1901', 0, 'post', '', 0),
