In reality, digital and information technology (IT) has impacted society on a global level so much, so quickly that 30 years sometimes feels like a hundred. Now, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is poised to have an even greater impact on how we live our daily lives, conduct our business, and communicate with others; and this will occur in a far shorter amount of time than IT did. What does this mean for education? How will AI affect what, how, and when (and why) we teach? In this second webinar or the series, Dr. Bill Daggett will provide specific examples of what schools can do to prepare for the major challenges and opportunities that AI will present.\r\n\r\nReserve your webinar seat now, by <a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwrfuqtpjoiGtzXvSPkYYMkYNxl2_x41DuG">clicking here!</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Cost:</strong> $300 per person for the entire webinar series or $500 for the entire governance team for the entire webinar series\r\n<strong>Date and Time:</strong> April 11, 2023, 12:00 p.m.-1:00 p.m.\r\n<strong>Presenters: </strong>Dr. Bill Daggett, Founder, International Center for Leadership in Education\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday, April 25, 2023 12:00 p.m.-1:00 p.m.\r\n</strong><strong>What the Data Says at the State Level When it Comes to Teacher Vacancy and Exits</strong>\r\n\r\nJoin this webinar to learn how the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) is modernizing its agency data collection and structures around division vacancy reporting. Specifically, this presentation will examine existing data from the inaugural 2021-2022 administration of the fall position and Exit Collection (PEC) and End-of-Year (EOY PEC) results. The PEC report enables the commonwealth and school divisions to comply with the reporting requirements necessary to address critical staff shortages by position and geographic region, measure the growth and decline of required staffing levels, and evaluate the reasons licensed personnel leave the field. By leveraging this new data source and the Staffing and Vacancy Report Build-a-Table tool, the department has expanded its data collection capacity and increased the granularity of data available for analysis and functionality for stakeholders. The presentation will conclude with an introduction of the VDOE’s Strategic Plan for recruitment and retention informed by this and other state data.\r\n\r\nReserve your webinar seat now, by <a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0rce-prjgqHNeYPm6tTIU8R8yXN3-hAm15">clicking here!</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Cost:</strong> Free\r\n<strong>Date and Time:</strong> April 25, 2023, 12:00 p.m.-1:00 p.m.\r\n<strong>Presenters: </strong>Dr. Joan Johnson, Assistant Superintendent, Department of Teacher Education and Licensure\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday, May 4, 2023 12:00 p.m.-1:00 p.m.\r\n</strong><strong>School Board Committees: Legal Requirements and Practical Considerations</strong>\r\n\r\nSome school boards utilize numerous committees for a wide variety of purposes.

They are the first generation to live their whole life in age of advanced technology and AI. As such, they have become an extension of the technology they consume.

Educational funding and governance issues are at the top of the VSBA legislative agenda.\r\n\r\nThrough the work of the VSBA board members and staff, local school officials become directly aware of and involved with federal and state activities affecting education. The association represents the concerns of school divisions during the General Assembly, at meetings of the State Board of Education, and before other state agencies. Concerns on the national level are monitored by the VSBA staff and members of the Federal Relations Network, which consists of local school board members from each Congressional District of the state and nation.\r\n\r\nVSBA communicates regularly with members of the General Assembly and Congress on high priority issues such as school financing, standards of quality, etc. Efforts include presenting formal testimony at public hearings, providing comments on specific bills before House and Senate committees, and routinely meeting with individual legislators regarding the needs of local school divisions.\r\n\r\nLocal school board members are involved in every stage of VSBA''s legislative efforts. The Legislative Positions Committee, drawing from proposals submitted by local school divisions, identifies positions and policies to recommend to the VSBA Board of Directors. These recommendations then are voted on by the Delegate Assembly at the Annual Convention and, if approved, become part of the VSBA Legislative Positions Handbook.\r\n\r\nYou can stay up-to-date during the General Assembly through the <a href="http://vsbalegislativeupdate.blogspot.com/" data-cke-saved-href="http://vsbalegislativeupdate.blogspot.com/">VSBA Legislative Update Blog</a>.\r\n\r\nThe Legislative Positions Handbook  includes all legislative position statements of the Virginia School Boards Association that have been approved by the Delegate Assembly of the Association at the Annual Convention which is held during the fall of each year.

The city is in the heart of the Hampton Roads region and the center of the East Coast. Hampton was established in 1610, is one of America’s oldest cities, and is rich in history. The community is known for many firsts, such as: the oldest continuous community in British North America; the first to offer free, public education in America; and the site of the first training of NASA astronauts as well as home to <em>Hidden Figures</em> mathematicians Katherine Johnson, Mary Jackson, and more. Additionally, Hampton is home to Langley Air Force Base, NASA Langley Research Center, and Hampton University.  Hampton has been named to several national lists as one of the best places to live and best beach communities, as well as a national model for civic engagement.\r\n\r\n<strong>THE SCHOOL DIVISION</strong>\r\nHampton City Schools is an urban school division that serves over 19,000 students. As a community, Hampton came together and decided that it was time to transform what it means to teach and learn in Hampton City Schools for the success of young people and future employees. In 2016, our community envisioned the Portrait of a Hampton Graduate and the necessary educational experiences needed to prepare every student for success in college, careers, and life in order to ensure the city of Hampton has a pipeline of skilled workers ready to sustain and grow existing and future industries. Our <em>One Division, One Transformation</em> PreK-12 strategies ultimately prepare young people for postsecondary success. This work has earned Hampton City Schools the distinction of being the first and only Ford Next Generation Learning Community in the Commonwealth of Virginia.\r\n\r\nThrough the Ford Next Generation Learning Community network and partnership, the Academies of Hampton has transformed the traditional high school experience into an innovative model consisting of 16 wall-to-wall academies and 44 pathways. This model prepares all students for careers, linking academic courses to college majors and career sectors based on high-demand, high-wage jobs aligned with regional and state workforce data. This important work was featured in the 2018 State of the Region report for Hampton Roads as “The Next Generation of Learning in Hampton Roads,” as well as <em>The Center for American Progress</em> as one of the four models working across the country in high school redesign. In addition, Hampton’s high schools have been named each year since 2019 to Virginia Living’s list of Top Schools and Colleges.\r\n\r\nHampton’s commitment to learning environments that challenge, nurture, and engage every single student, as well as its commitment to academic excellence and student success at all grade levels, has resulted in significant improvement in student performance over the past eight years. Our on-time graduation rate of 97.64% leads our region of 15 school divisions. Not only are our students graduating college, career, and life ready, our division has the lowest dropout rate (0.62%) in our region. Since 2019, all of the division’s schools are 100% accredited.\r\n\r\n<strong>Our Mission: </strong>In collaboration with our community, Hampton City Schools ensures academic excellence for every child, every day, whatever it takes.\r\n\r\n<strong>Our Vision:</strong> Hampton City Schools: the first choice for success for every student.\r\n\r\n<strong>Core Values:</strong> We believe that the developmental needs of children are central to every aspect of the operation of Hampton City Schools and that all interactions with our stakeholders must be governed by our core values-integrity, responsibility, innovation, excellence, and professionalism.\r\n\r\n<strong>Student Population</strong>: 19,839\r\n\r\n<strong>On-Time Graduation Rate:</strong> 97.64% (highest on-time graduation rate in the region)\r\n\r\n<strong>Operating Budget:</strong> $385,020,604\r\n\r\n<strong>Student Per Pupil Expenditure as budgeted for FY23: </strong>$19,667\r\n\r\n<strong>Full-Time Personnel:</strong> (professional and support staff) – 2,524\r\n\r\n<strong>Teacher Population:</strong> 1,423\r\n\r\n<strong>Teachers with Master’s Degrees &amp; Higher: </strong>729\r\n\r\n<strong>National Board Certified Staff Members</strong>: 31\r\n\r\n<strong>Number of Schools:</strong> 32 schools and centers\r\n\r\n1 Early Childhood Center\r\n\r\n18 elementary schools (including 1 magnet, 2 fundamental, and 1 school for the arts)\r\n\r\n2 PK-8 Schools (designed with three major learning centers: PK-2, 3-5, 6-8 and established choice programs in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) and Biotechnology/Medical Arts)\r\n\r\n1 Gifted Center\r\n\r\n5 Middle Schools (including 1 magnet and 1 fundamental)\r\n\r\n4 High Schools (each including specialized college and career academies offering 44 career pathways)\r\n\r\n1 Adult and Alternative Learning Center\r\n\r\n<strong>Web Site:</strong> <a href="http://www.hampton.k12.va.us/">http://www.hampton.k12.va.us/</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Salary</strong>\r\n\r\nCommensurate with experience and qualifications.\r\n\r\n<strong>Application Procedures</strong>\r\n\r\nThe board will receive applications from March 3 – March 31, 2023\r\n\r\n<strong>Qualifications </strong>\r\n\r\nQualifications will be added upon final determination by the school board no later than March 2, 2023\r\n\r\nCandidates must meet the legal requirements to be licensed or be eligible for licensure as a superintendent in Virginia.

The city is in the heart of the Hampton Roads region and the center of the East Coast. Hampton was established in 1610, is one of America’s oldest cities, and is rich in history. The community is known for many firsts, such as: the oldest continuous community in British North America; the first to offer free, public education in America; and the site of the first training of NASA astronauts as well as home to <em>Hidden Figures</em> mathematicians Katherine Johnson, Mary Jackson, and more. Additionally, Hampton is home to Langley Air Force Base, NASA Langley Research Center, and Hampton University.  Hampton has been named to several national lists as one of the best places to live and best beach communities, as well as a national model for civic engagement.\r\n\r\n<strong>THE SCHOOL DIVISION</strong>\r\nHampton City Schools is an urban school division that serves over 19,000 students. As a community, Hampton came together and decided that it was time to transform what it means to teach and learn in Hampton City Schools for the success of young people and future employees. In 2016, our community envisioned the Portrait of a Hampton Graduate and the necessary educational experiences needed to prepare every student for success in college, careers, and life in order to ensure the city of Hampton has a pipeline of skilled workers ready to sustain and grow existing and future industries. Our <em>One Division, One Transformation</em> PreK-12 strategies ultimately prepare young people for postsecondary success. This work has earned Hampton City Schools the distinction of being the first and only Ford Next Generation Learning Community in the Commonwealth of Virginia.\r\n\r\nThrough the Ford Next Generation Learning Community network and partnership, the Academies of Hampton has transformed the traditional high school experience into an innovative model consisting of 16 wall-to-wall academies and 44 pathways. This model prepares all students for careers, linking academic courses to college majors and career sectors based on high-demand, high-wage jobs aligned with regional and state workforce data. This important work was featured in the 2018 State of the Region report for Hampton Roads as “The Next Generation of Learning in Hampton Roads,” as well as <em>The Center for American Progress</em> as one of the four models working across the country in high school redesign. In addition, Hampton’s high schools have been named each year since 2019 to Virginia Living’s list of Top Schools and Colleges.\r\n\r\nHampton’s commitment to learning environments that challenge, nurture, and engage every single student, as well as its commitment to academic excellence and student success at all grade levels, has resulted in significant improvement in student performance over the past eight years. Our on-time graduation rate of 97.64% leads our region of 15 school divisions. Not only are our students graduating college, career, and life ready, our division has the lowest dropout rate (0.62%) in our region. Since 2019, all of the division’s schools are 100% accredited.\r\n\r\n<strong>Our Mission: </strong>In collaboration with our community, Hampton City Schools ensures academic excellence for every child, every day, whatever it takes.\r\n\r\n<strong>Our Vision:</strong> Hampton City Schools: the first choice for success for every student.\r\n\r\n<strong>Core Values:</strong> We believe that the developmental needs of children are central to every aspect of the operation of Hampton City Schools and that all interactions with our stakeholders must be governed by our core values-integrity, responsibility, innovation, excellence, and professionalism.\r\n\r\n<strong>Student Population</strong>: 19,839\r\n\r\n<strong>On-Time Graduation Rate:</strong> 97.64% (highest on-time graduation rate in the region)\r\n\r\n<strong>Operating Budget:</strong> $385,020,604\r\n\r\n<strong>Student Per Pupil Expenditure as budgeted for FY23: </strong>$19,667\r\n\r\n<strong>Full-Time Personnel:</strong> (professional and support staff) – 2,524\r\n\r\n<strong>Teacher Population:</strong> 1,423\r\n\r\n<strong>Teachers with Master’s Degrees &amp; Higher: </strong>729\r\n\r\n<strong>National Board Certified Staff Members</strong>: 31\r\n\r\n<strong>Number of Schools:</strong> 32 schools and centers\r\n\r\n1 Early Childhood Center\r\n\r\n18 elementary schools (including 1 magnet, 2 fundamental, and 1 school for the arts)\r\n\r\n2 PK-8 Schools (designed with three major learning centers: PK-2, 3-5, 6-8 and established choice programs in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) and Biotechnology/Medical Arts)\r\n\r\n1 Gifted Center\r\n\r\n5 Middle Schools (including 1 magnet and 1 fundamental)\r\n\r\n4 High Schools (each including specialized college and career academies offering 44 career pathways)\r\n\r\n1 Adult and Alternative Learning Center\r\n\r\n<strong>Web Site:</strong> <a href="http://www.hampton.k12.va.us/">http://www.hampton.k12.va.us/</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Salary</strong>\r\n\r\nCommensurate with experience and qualifications.\r\n\r\n<strong>Application Procedures</strong>\r\n\r\nThe board will receive applications from March 3 – March 31, 2023\r\n\r\n<strong>Qualifications </strong>\r\n\r\nQualifications will be added upon final determination by the school board no later than March 2, 2023\r\n\r\nCandidates must meet the legal requirements to be licensed or be eligible for licensure as a superintendent in Virginia.

In reality, digital and information technology (IT) has impacted society on a global level so much, so quickly that 30 years sometimes feels like a hundred. Now, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is poised to have an even greater impact on how we live our daily lives, conduct our business, and communicate with others; and this will occur in a far shorter amount of time than IT did. What does this mean for education? How will AI affect what, how, and when (and why) we teach? In this second webinar or the series, Dr. Bill Daggett will provide specific examples of what schools can do to prepare for the major challenges and opportunities that AI will present.\r\n\r\nReserve your webinar seat now, by <a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwrfuqtpjoiGtzXvSPkYYMkYNxl2_x41DuG">clicking here!</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Cost:</strong> $300 per person for the entire webinar series or $500 for the entire governance team for the entire webinar series\r\n<strong>Date and Time:</strong> April 11, 2023, 12:00 p.m.-1:00 p.m.\r\n<strong>Presenters: </strong>Dr. Bill Daggett, Founder, International Center for Leadership in Education\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday, April 25, 2023 12:00 p.m.-1:00 p.m.\r\n</strong><strong>What the Data Says at the State Level When it Comes to Teacher Vacancy and Exits</strong>\r\n\r\nJoin this webinar to learn how the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) is modernizing its agency data collection and structures around division vacancy reporting. Specifically, this presentation will examine existing data from the inaugural 2021-2022 administration of the fall position and Exit Collection (PEC) and End-of-Year (EOY PEC) results. The PEC report enables the commonwealth and school divisions to comply with the reporting requirements necessary to address critical staff shortages by position and geographic region, measure the growth and decline of required staffing levels, and evaluate the reasons licensed personnel leave the field. By leveraging this new data source and the Staffing and Vacancy Report Build-a-Table tool, the department has expanded its data collection capacity and increased the granularity of data available for analysis and functionality for stakeholders. The presentation will conclude with an introduction of the VDOE’s Strategic Plan for recruitment and retention informed by this and other state data.\r\n\r\nReserve your webinar seat now, by <a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0rce-prjgqHNeYPm6tTIU8R8yXN3-hAm15">clicking here!</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Cost:</strong> Free\r\n<strong>Date and Time:</strong> April 25, 2023, 12:00 p.m.-1:00 p.m.\r\n<strong>Presenters: </strong>Dr. Joan Johnson, Assistant Superintendent, Department of Teacher Education and Licensure\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday, May 4, 2023 12:00 p.m.-1:00 p.m.\r\n</strong><strong>School Board Committees: Legal Requirements and Practical Considerations</strong>\r\n\r\nSome school boards utilize numerous committees for a wide variety of purposes.

The city is in the heart of the Hampton Roads region and the center of the East Coast. Hampton was established in 1610, is one of America’s oldest cities, and is rich in history. The community is known for many firsts, such as: the oldest continuous community in British North America; the first to offer free, public education in America; and the site of the first training of NASA astronauts as well as home to <em>Hidden Figures</em> mathematicians Katherine Johnson, Mary Jackson, and more. Additionally, Hampton is home to Langley Air Force Base, NASA Langley Research Center, and Hampton University.  Hampton has been named to several national lists as one of the best places to live and best beach communities, as well as a national model for civic engagement.\r\n\r\n<strong>THE SCHOOL DIVISION</strong>\r\nHampton City Schools is an urban school division that serves over 19,000 students. As a community, Hampton came together and decided that it was time to transform what it means to teach and learn in Hampton City Schools for the success of young people and future employees. In 2016, our community envisioned the Portrait of a Hampton Graduate and the necessary educational experiences needed to prepare every student for success in college, careers, and life in order to ensure the city of Hampton has a pipeline of skilled workers ready to sustain and grow existing and future industries. Our <em>One Division, One Transformation</em> PreK-12 strategies ultimately prepare young people for postsecondary success. This work has earned Hampton City Schools the distinction of being the first and only Ford Next Generation Learning Community in the Commonwealth of Virginia.\r\n\r\nThrough the Ford Next Generation Learning Community network and partnership, the Academies of Hampton has transformed the traditional high school experience into an innovative model consisting of 16 wall-to-wall academies and 44 pathways. This model prepares all students for careers, linking academic courses to college majors and career sectors based on high-demand, high-wage jobs aligned with regional and state workforce data. This important work was featured in the 2018 State of the Region report for Hampton Roads as “The Next Generation of Learning in Hampton Roads,” as well as <em>The Center for American Progress</em> as one of the four models working across the country in high school redesign. In addition, Hampton’s high schools have been named each year since 2019 to Virginia Living’s list of Top Schools and Colleges.\r\n\r\nHampton’s commitment to learning environments that challenge, nurture, and engage every single student, as well as its commitment to academic excellence and student success at all grade levels, has resulted in significant improvement in student performance over the past eight years. Our on-time graduation rate of 97.64% leads our region of 15 school divisions. Not only are our students graduating college, career, and life ready, our division has the lowest dropout rate (0.62%) in our region. Since 2019, all of the division’s schools are 100% accredited.\r\n\r\n<strong>Our Mission: </strong>In collaboration with our community, Hampton City Schools ensures academic excellence for every child, every day, whatever it takes.\r\n\r\n<strong>Our Vision:</strong> Hampton City Schools: the first choice for success for every student.\r\n\r\n<strong>Core Values:</strong> We believe that the developmental needs of children are central to every aspect of the operation of Hampton City Schools and that all interactions with our stakeholders must be governed by our core values-integrity, responsibility, innovation, excellence, and professionalism.\r\n\r\n<strong>Student Population</strong>: 19,839\r\n\r\n<strong>On-Time Graduation Rate:</strong> 97.64% (highest on-time graduation rate in the region)\r\n\r\n<strong>Operating Budget:</strong> $385,020,604\r\n\r\n<strong>Student Per Pupil Expenditure as budgeted for FY23: </strong>$19,667\r\n\r\n<strong>Full-Time Personnel:</strong> (professional and support staff) – 2,524\r\n\r\n<strong>Teacher Population:</strong> 1,423\r\n\r\n<strong>Teachers with Master’s Degrees &amp; Higher: </strong>729\r\n\r\n<strong>National Board Certified Staff Members</strong>: 31\r\n\r\n<strong>Number of Schools:</strong> 32 schools and centers\r\n\r\n1 Early Childhood Center\r\n\r\n18 elementary schools (including 1 magnet, 2 fundamental, and 1 school for the arts)\r\n\r\n2 PK-8 Schools (designed with three major learning centers: PK-2, 3-5, 6-8 and established choice programs in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) and Biotechnology/Medical Arts)\r\n\r\n1 Gifted Center\r\n\r\n5 Middle Schools (including 1 magnet and 1 fundamental)\r\n\r\n4 High Schools (each including specialized college and career academies offering 44 career pathways)\r\n\r\n1 Adult and Alternative Learning Center\r\n\r\n<strong>Web Site:</strong> <a href="http://www.hampton.k12.va.us/">http://www.hampton.k12.va.us/</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Salary</strong>\r\n\r\nCommensurate with experience and qualifications.\r\n\r\n<strong>Required Qualifications</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Candidates must hold an earned doctorate.</li>\r\n 	<li>Candidates must meet the qualifications for inclusion on the eligibility list of superintendents in Virginia.

The city is in the heart of the Hampton Roads region and the center of the East Coast. Hampton was established in 1610, is one of America’s oldest cities, and is rich in history. The community is known for many firsts, such as: the oldest continuous community in British North America; the first to offer free, public education in America; and the site of the first training of NASA astronauts as well as home to <em>Hidden Figures</em> mathematicians Katherine Johnson, Mary Jackson, and more. Additionally, Hampton is home to Langley Air Force Base, NASA Langley Research Center, and Hampton University.  Hampton has been named to several national lists as one of the best places to live and best beach communities, as well as a national model for civic engagement.\r\n\r\n<strong>THE SCHOOL DIVISION</strong>\r\nHampton City Schools is an urban school division that serves over 19,000 students. As a community, Hampton came together and decided that it was time to transform what it means to teach and learn in Hampton City Schools for the success of young people and future employees. In 2016, our community envisioned the Portrait of a Hampton Graduate and the necessary educational experiences needed to prepare every student for success in college, careers, and life in order to ensure the city of Hampton has a pipeline of skilled workers ready to sustain and grow existing and future industries. Our <em>One Division, One Transformation</em> PreK-12 strategies ultimately prepare young people for postsecondary success. This work has earned Hampton City Schools the distinction of being the first and only Ford Next Generation Learning Community in the Commonwealth of Virginia.\r\n\r\nThrough the Ford Next Generation Learning Community network and partnership, the Academies of Hampton has transformed the traditional high school experience into an innovative model consisting of 16 wall-to-wall academies and 44 pathways. This model prepares all students for careers, linking academic courses to college majors and career sectors based on high-demand, high-wage jobs aligned with regional and state workforce data. This important work was featured in the 2018 State of the Region report for Hampton Roads as “The Next Generation of Learning in Hampton Roads,” as well as <em>The Center for American Progress</em> as one of the four models working across the country in high school redesign. In addition, Hampton’s high schools have been named each year since 2019 to Virginia Living’s list of Top Schools and Colleges.\r\n\r\nHampton’s commitment to learning environments that challenge, nurture, and engage every single student, as well as its commitment to academic excellence and student success at all grade levels, has resulted in significant improvement in student performance over the past eight years. Our on-time graduation rate of 97.64% leads our region of 15 school divisions. Not only are our students graduating college, career, and life ready, our division has the lowest dropout rate (0.62%) in our region. Since 2019, all of the division’s schools are 100% accredited.\r\n\r\n<strong>Our Mission: </strong>In collaboration with our community, Hampton City Schools ensures academic excellence for every child, every day, whatever it takes.\r\n\r\n<strong>Our Vision:</strong> Hampton City Schools: the first choice for success for every student.\r\n\r\n<strong>Core Values:</strong> We believe that the developmental needs of children are central to every aspect of the operation of Hampton City Schools and that all interactions with our stakeholders must be governed by our core values-integrity, responsibility, innovation, excellence, and professionalism.\r\n\r\n<strong>Student Population</strong>: 19,839\r\n\r\n<strong>On-Time Graduation Rate:</strong> 97.64% (highest on-time graduation rate in the region)\r\n\r\n<strong>Operating Budget:</strong> $385,020,604\r\n\r\n<strong>Student Per Pupil Expenditure as budgeted for FY23: </strong>$19,667\r\n\r\n<strong>Full-Time Personnel:</strong> (professional and support staff) – 2,524\r\n\r\n<strong>Teacher Population:</strong> 1,423\r\n\r\n<strong>Teachers with Master’s Degrees &amp; Higher: </strong>729\r\n\r\n<strong>National Board Certified Staff Members</strong>: 31\r\n\r\n<strong>Number of Schools:</strong> 32 schools and centers\r\n\r\n1 Early Childhood Center\r\n\r\n18 elementary schools (including 1 magnet, 2 fundamental, and 1 school for the arts)\r\n\r\n2 PK-8 Schools (designed with three major learning centers: PK-2, 3-5, 6-8 and established choice programs in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) and Biotechnology/Medical Arts)\r\n\r\n1 Gifted Center\r\n\r\n5 Middle Schools (including 1 magnet and 1 fundamental)\r\n\r\n4 High Schools (each including specialized college and career academies offering 44 career pathways)\r\n\r\n1 Adult and Alternative Learning Center\r\n\r\n<strong>Web Site:</strong> <a href="http://www.hampton.k12.va.us/">http://www.hampton.k12.va.us/</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Salary</strong>\r\n\r\nCommensurate with experience and qualifications.\r\n\r\n<a href="https://www.vsba.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/HCSSuperintendentSearchDoc.pdf"><strong>Hampton City Superintendent Search Required and Desired Qualifications</strong></a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Required Qualifications</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Candidates must hold an earned doctorate.</li>\r\n 	<li>Candidates must meet the qualifications for inclusion on the eligibility list of superintendents in Virginia.

The city is in the heart of the Hampton Roads region and the center of the East Coast. Hampton was established in 1610, is one of America’s oldest cities, and is rich in history. The community is known for many firsts, such as: the oldest continuous community in British North America; the first to offer free, public education in America; and the site of the first training of NASA astronauts as well as home to <em>Hidden Figures</em> mathematicians Katherine Johnson, Mary Jackson, and more. Additionally, Hampton is home to Langley Air Force Base, NASA Langley Research Center, and Hampton University.  Hampton has been named to several national lists as one of the best places to live and best beach communities, as well as a national model for civic engagement.\r\n\r\n<strong>THE SCHOOL DIVISION</strong>\r\nHampton City Schools is an urban school division that serves over 19,000 students. As a community, Hampton came together and decided that it was time to transform what it means to teach and learn in Hampton City Schools for the success of young people and future employees. In 2016, our community envisioned the Portrait of a Hampton Graduate and the necessary educational experiences needed to prepare every student for success in college, careers, and life in order to ensure the city of Hampton has a pipeline of skilled workers ready to sustain and grow existing and future industries. Our <em>One Division, One Transformation</em> PreK-12 strategies ultimately prepare young people for postsecondary success. This work has earned Hampton City Schools the distinction of being the first and only Ford Next Generation Learning Community in the Commonwealth of Virginia.\r\n\r\nThrough the Ford Next Generation Learning Community network and partnership, the Academies of Hampton has transformed the traditional high school experience into an innovative model consisting of 16 wall-to-wall academies and 44 pathways. This model prepares all students for careers, linking academic courses to college majors and career sectors based on high-demand, high-wage jobs aligned with regional and state workforce data. This important work was featured in the 2018 State of the Region report for Hampton Roads as “The Next Generation of Learning in Hampton Roads,” as well as <em>The Center for American Progress</em> as one of the four models working across the country in high school redesign. In addition, Hampton’s high schools have been named each year since 2019 to Virginia Living’s list of Top Schools and Colleges.\r\n\r\nHampton’s commitment to learning environments that challenge, nurture, and engage every single student, as well as its commitment to academic excellence and student success at all grade levels, has resulted in significant improvement in student performance over the past eight years. Our on-time graduation rate of 97.64% leads our region of 15 school divisions. Not only are our students graduating college, career, and life ready, our division has the lowest dropout rate (0.62%) in our region. Since 2019, all of the division’s schools are 100% accredited.\r\n\r\n<strong>Our Mission: </strong>In collaboration with our community, Hampton City Schools ensures academic excellence for every child, every day, whatever it takes.\r\n\r\n<strong>Our Vision:</strong> Hampton City Schools: the first choice for success for every student.\r\n\r\n<strong>Core Values:</strong> We believe that the developmental needs of children are central to every aspect of the operation of Hampton City Schools and that all interactions with our stakeholders must be governed by our core values-integrity, responsibility, innovation, excellence, and professionalism.\r\n\r\n<strong>Student Population</strong>: 19,839\r\n\r\n<strong>On-Time Graduation Rate:</strong> 97.64% (highest on-time graduation rate in the region)\r\n\r\n<strong>Operating Budget:</strong> $385,020,604\r\n\r\n<strong>Student Per Pupil Expenditure as budgeted for FY23: </strong>$19,667\r\n\r\n<strong>Full-Time Personnel:</strong> (professional and support staff) – 2,524\r\n\r\n<strong>Teacher Population:</strong> 1,423\r\n\r\n<strong>Teachers with Master’s Degrees &amp; Higher: </strong>729\r\n\r\n<strong>National Board Certified Staff Members</strong>: 31\r\n\r\n<strong>Number of Schools:</strong> 32 schools and centers\r\n\r\n1 Early Childhood Center\r\n\r\n18 elementary schools (including 1 magnet, 2 fundamental, and 1 school for the arts)\r\n\r\n2 PK-8 Schools (designed with three major learning centers: PK-2, 3-5, 6-8 and established choice programs in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) and Biotechnology/Medical Arts)\r\n\r\n1 Gifted Center\r\n\r\n5 Middle Schools (including 1 magnet and 1 fundamental)\r\n\r\n4 High Schools (each including specialized college and career academies offering 44 career pathways)\r\n\r\n1 Adult and Alternative Learning Center\r\n\r\n<strong>Web Site:</strong> <a href="http://www.hampton.k12.va.us/">http://www.hampton.k12.va.us/</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Salary</strong>\r\n\r\nCommensurate with experience and qualifications.\r\n\r\n<a href="https://www.vsba.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/HCSSuperintendentSearchDoc.pdf"><strong>Hampton City Superintendent Search Required and Desired Qualifications</strong></a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Required Qualifications</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Candidates must hold an earned doctorate.</li>\r\n 	<li>Candidates must meet the qualifications for inclusion on the eligibility list of superintendents in Virginia.

The city is in the heart of the Hampton Roads region and the center of the East Coast. Hampton was established in 1610, is one of America’s oldest cities, and is rich in history. The community is known for many firsts, such as: the oldest continuous community in British North America; the first to offer free, public education in America; and the site of the first training of NASA astronauts as well as home to <em>Hidden Figures</em> mathematicians Katherine Johnson, Mary Jackson, and more. Additionally, Hampton is home to Langley Air Force Base, NASA Langley Research Center, and Hampton University.  Hampton has been named to several national lists as one of the best places to live and best beach communities, as well as a national model for civic engagement.\r\n\r\n<strong>THE SCHOOL DIVISION</strong>\r\nHampton City Schools is an urban school division that serves over 19,000 students. As a community, Hampton came together and decided that it was time to transform what it means to teach and learn in Hampton City Schools for the success of young people and future employees. In 2016, our community envisioned the Portrait of a Hampton Graduate and the necessary educational experiences needed to prepare every student for success in college, careers, and life in order to ensure the city of Hampton has a pipeline of skilled workers ready to sustain and grow existing and future industries. Our <em>One Division, One Transformation</em> PreK-12 strategies ultimately prepare young people for postsecondary success. This work has earned Hampton City Schools the distinction of being the first and only Ford Next Generation Learning Community in the Commonwealth of Virginia.\r\n\r\nThrough the Ford Next Generation Learning Community network and partnership, the Academies of Hampton has transformed the traditional high school experience into an innovative model consisting of 16 wall-to-wall academies and 44 pathways. This model prepares all students for careers, linking academic courses to college majors and career sectors based on high-demand, high-wage jobs aligned with regional and state workforce data. This important work was featured in the 2018 State of the Region report for Hampton Roads as “The Next Generation of Learning in Hampton Roads,” as well as <em>The Center for American Progress</em> as one of the four models working across the country in high school redesign. In addition, Hampton’s high schools have been named each year since 2019 to Virginia Living’s list of Top Schools and Colleges.\r\n\r\nHampton’s commitment to learning environments that challenge, nurture, and engage every single student, as well as its commitment to academic excellence and student success at all grade levels, has resulted in significant improvement in student performance over the past eight years. Our on-time graduation rate of 97.64% leads our region of 15 school divisions. Not only are our students graduating college, career, and life ready, our division has the lowest dropout rate (0.62%) in our region. Since 2019, all of the division’s schools are 100% accredited.\r\n\r\n<strong>Our Mission: </strong>In collaboration with our community, Hampton City Schools ensures academic excellence for every child, every day, whatever it takes.\r\n\r\n<strong>Our Vision:</strong> Hampton City Schools: the first choice for success for every student.\r\n\r\n<strong>Core Values:</strong> We believe that the developmental needs of children are central to every aspect of the operation of Hampton City Schools and that all interactions with our stakeholders must be governed by our core values-integrity, responsibility, innovation, excellence, and professionalism.\r\n\r\n<strong>Student Population</strong>: 19,839\r\n\r\n<strong>On-Time Graduation Rate:</strong> 97.64% (highest on-time graduation rate in the region)\r\n\r\n<strong>Operating Budget:</strong> $385,020,604\r\n\r\n<strong>Student Per Pupil Expenditure as budgeted for FY23: </strong>$19,667\r\n\r\n<strong>Full-Time Personnel:</strong> (professional and support staff) – 2,524\r\n\r\n<strong>Teacher Population:</strong> 1,423\r\n\r\n<strong>Teachers with Master’s Degrees &amp; Higher: </strong>729\r\n\r\n<strong>National Board Certified Staff Members</strong>: 31\r\n\r\n<strong>Number of Schools:</strong> 32 schools and centers\r\n\r\n1 Early Childhood Center\r\n\r\n18 elementary schools (including 1 magnet, 2 fundamental, and 1 school for the arts)\r\n\r\n2 PK-8 Schools (designed with three major learning centers: PK-2, 3-5, 6-8 and established choice programs in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) and Biotechnology/Medical Arts)\r\n\r\n1 Gifted Center\r\n\r\n5 Middle Schools (including 1 magnet and 1 fundamental)\r\n\r\n4 High Schools (each including specialized college and career academies offering 44 career pathways)\r\n\r\n1 Adult and Alternative Learning Center\r\n\r\n<strong>Web Site:</strong> <a href="http://www.hampton.k12.va.us/">http://www.hampton.k12.va.us/</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Salary</strong>\r\n\r\nCommensurate with experience and qualifications.\r\n\r\n<a href="https://www.vsba.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/HCSSuperintendentSearchDoc.pdf"><strong>Hampton City Superintendent Search Required and Desired Qualifications</strong></a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Required Qualifications</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Candidates must hold an earned doctorate.</li>\r\n 	<li>Candidates must meet the qualifications for inclusion on the eligibility list of superintendents in Virginia.

The city is in the heart of the Hampton Roads region and the center of the East Coast. Hampton was established in 1610, is one of America’s oldest cities, and is rich in history. The community is known for many firsts, such as: the oldest continuous community in British North America; the first to offer free, public education in America; and the site of the first training of NASA astronauts as well as home to <em>Hidden Figures</em> mathematicians Katherine Johnson, Mary Jackson, and more. Additionally, Hampton is home to Langley Air Force Base, NASA Langley Research Center, and Hampton University.  Hampton has been named to several national lists as one of the best places to live and best beach communities, as well as a national model for civic engagement.\r\n\r\n<strong>THE SCHOOL DIVISION</strong>\r\nHampton City Schools is an urban school division that serves over 19,000 students. As a community, Hampton came together and decided that it was time to transform what it means to teach and learn in Hampton City Schools for the success of young people and future employees. In 2016, our community envisioned the Portrait of a Hampton Graduate and the necessary educational experiences needed to prepare every student for success in college, careers, and life in order to ensure the city of Hampton has a pipeline of skilled workers ready to sustain and grow existing and future industries. Our <em>One Division, One Transformation</em> PreK-12 strategies ultimately prepare young people for postsecondary success. This work has earned Hampton City Schools the distinction of being the first and only Ford Next Generation Learning Community in the Commonwealth of Virginia.\r\n\r\nThrough the Ford Next Generation Learning Community network and partnership, the Academies of Hampton has transformed the traditional high school experience into an innovative model consisting of 16 wall-to-wall academies and 44 pathways. This model prepares all students for careers, linking academic courses to college majors and career sectors based on high-demand, high-wage jobs aligned with regional and state workforce data. This important work was featured in the 2018 State of the Region report for Hampton Roads as “The Next Generation of Learning in Hampton Roads,” as well as <em>The Center for American Progress</em> as one of the four models working across the country in high school redesign. In addition, Hampton’s high schools have been named each year since 2019 to Virginia Living’s list of Top Schools and Colleges.\r\n\r\nHampton’s commitment to learning environments that challenge, nurture, and engage every single student, as well as its commitment to academic excellence and student success at all grade levels, has resulted in significant improvement in student performance over the past eight years. Our on-time graduation rate of 97.64% leads our region of 15 school divisions. Not only are our students graduating college, career, and life ready, our division has the lowest dropout rate (0.62%) in our region. Since 2019, all of the division’s schools are 100% accredited.\r\n\r\n<strong>Our Mission: </strong>In collaboration with our community, Hampton City Schools ensures academic excellence for every child, every day, whatever it takes.\r\n\r\n<strong>Our Vision:</strong> Hampton City Schools: the first choice for success for every student.\r\n\r\n<strong>Core Values:</strong> We believe that the developmental needs of children are central to every aspect of the operation of Hampton City Schools and that all interactions with our stakeholders must be governed by our core values-integrity, responsibility, innovation, excellence, and professionalism.\r\n\r\n<strong>Student Population</strong>: 19,839\r\n\r\n<strong>On-Time Graduation Rate:</strong> 97.64% (highest on-time graduation rate in the region)\r\n\r\n<strong>Operating Budget:</strong> $385,020,604\r\n\r\n<strong>Student Per Pupil Expenditure as budgeted for FY23: </strong>$19,667\r\n\r\n<strong>Full-Time Personnel:</strong> (professional and support staff) – 2,524\r\n\r\n<strong>Teacher Population:</strong> 1,423\r\n\r\n<strong>Teachers with Master’s Degrees &amp; Higher: </strong>729\r\n\r\n<strong>National Board Certified Staff Members</strong>: 31\r\n\r\n<strong>Number of Schools:</strong> 32 schools and centers\r\n\r\n1 Early Childhood Center\r\n\r\n18 elementary schools (including 1 magnet, 2 fundamental, and 1 school for the arts)\r\n\r\n2 PK-8 Schools (designed with three major learning centers: PK-2, 3-5, 6-8 and established choice programs in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) and Biotechnology/Medical Arts)\r\n\r\n1 Gifted Center\r\n\r\n5 Middle Schools (including 1 magnet and 1 fundamental)\r\n\r\n4 High Schools (each including specialized college and career academies offering 44 career pathways)\r\n\r\n1 Adult and Alternative Learning Center\r\n\r\n<strong>Web Site:</strong> <a href="http://www.hampton.k12.va.us/">http://www.hampton.k12.va.us/</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Salary</strong>\r\n\r\nCommensurate with experience and qualifications.\r\n\r\n<a href="https://www.vsba.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/HCSSuperintendentSearchDoc.pdf"><strong>Hampton City Superintendent Search Required and Desired Qualifications</strong></a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Required Qualifications</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Candidates must hold an earned doctorate.</li>\r\n 	<li>Candidates must meet the qualifications for inclusion on the eligibility list of superintendents in Virginia.

The city is in the heart of the Hampton Roads region and the center of the East Coast. Hampton was established in 1610, is one of America’s oldest cities, and is rich in history. The community is known for many firsts, such as: the oldest continuous community in British North America; the first to offer free, public education in America; and the site of the first training of NASA astronauts as well as home to <em>Hidden Figures</em> mathematicians Katherine Johnson, Mary Jackson, and more. Additionally, Hampton is home to Langley Air Force Base, NASA Langley Research Center, and Hampton University.  Hampton has been named to several national lists as one of the best places to live and best beach communities, as well as a national model for civic engagement.\r\n\r\n<strong>THE SCHOOL DIVISION</strong>\r\nHampton City Schools is an urban school division that serves over 19,000 students. As a community, Hampton came together and decided that it was time to transform what it means to teach and learn in Hampton City Schools for the success of young people and future employees. In 2016, our community envisioned the Portrait of a Hampton Graduate and the necessary educational experiences needed to prepare every student for success in college, careers, and life in order to ensure the city of Hampton has a pipeline of skilled workers ready to sustain and grow existing and future industries. Our <em>One Division, One Transformation</em> PreK-12 strategies ultimately prepare young people for postsecondary success. This work has earned Hampton City Schools the distinction of being the first and only Ford Next Generation Learning Community in the Commonwealth of Virginia.\r\n\r\nThrough the Ford Next Generation Learning Community network and partnership, the Academies of Hampton has transformed the traditional high school experience into an innovative model consisting of 16 wall-to-wall academies and 44 pathways. This model prepares all students for careers, linking academic courses to college majors and career sectors based on high-demand, high-wage jobs aligned with regional and state workforce data. This important work was featured in the 2018 State of the Region report for Hampton Roads as “The Next Generation of Learning in Hampton Roads,” as well as <em>The Center for American Progress</em> as one of the four models working across the country in high school redesign.

In reality, digital and information technology (IT) has impacted society on a global level so much, so quickly that 30 years sometimes feels like a hundred. Now, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is poised to have an even greater impact on how we live our daily lives, conduct our business, and communicate with others; and this will occur in a far shorter amount of time than IT did. What does this mean for education? How will AI affect what, how, and when (and why) we teach? In this second webinar or the series, Dr. Bill Daggett will provide specific examples of what schools can do to prepare for the major challenges and opportunities that AI will present.\r\n\r\nReserve your webinar seat now, by <a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwrfuqtpjoiGtzXvSPkYYMkYNxl2_x41DuG">clicking here!</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Cost:</strong> $300 per person for the entire webinar series or $500 for the entire governance team for the entire webinar series\r\n<strong>Date and Time:</strong> April 11, 2023, 12:00 p.m.-1:00 p.m.\r\n<strong>Presenters: </strong>Dr. Bill Daggett, Founder, International Center for Leadership in Education\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday, April 25, 2023 12:00 p.m.-1:00 p.m.\r\n</strong><strong>What the Data Says at the State Level When it Comes to Teacher Vacancy and Exits</strong>\r\n\r\nJoin this webinar to learn how the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) is modernizing its agency data collection and structures around division vacancy reporting. Specifically, this presentation will examine existing data from the inaugural 2021-2022 administration of the fall position and Exit Collection (PEC) and End-of-Year (EOY PEC) results. The PEC report enables the commonwealth and school divisions to comply with the reporting requirements necessary to address critical staff shortages by position and geographic region, measure the growth and decline of required staffing levels, and evaluate the reasons licensed personnel leave the field. By leveraging this new data source and the Staffing and Vacancy Report Build-a-Table tool, the department has expanded its data collection capacity and increased the granularity of data available for analysis and functionality for stakeholders. The presentation will conclude with an introduction of the VDOE’s Strategic Plan for recruitment and retention informed by this and other state data.\r\n\r\nReserve your webinar seat now, by <a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0rce-prjgqHNeYPm6tTIU8R8yXN3-hAm15">clicking here!</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Cost:</strong> Free\r\n<strong>Date and Time:</strong> April 25, 2023, 12:00 p.m.-1:00 p.m.\r\n<strong>Presenters: </strong>Dr. Joan Johnson, Assistant Superintendent, Department of Teacher Education and Licensure\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday, May 4, 2023 12:00 p.m.-1:00 p.m.\r\n</strong><strong>School Board Committees: Legal Requirements and Practical Considerations</strong>\r\n\r\nSome school boards utilize numerous committees for a wide variety of purposes.
