The Davie County Schools Board of Education convened on June 3, 2025, to discuss several key updates and address community concerns. The meeting began with a review of a comprehensive 61-page document, which was acknowledged for its thoroughness.
Following this, Kim Jarvis provided an update on the school district's website, which is undergoing a significant refresh. The new website, managed by the vendor Apogee, aims to enhance communication and accessibility for the school community. Jarvis highlighted that the current contract with the previous vendor ends on June 30, prompting the transition. The new site will feature a more user-friendly editing process, allowing staff to keep content updated easily. A notable addition is a mobile app designed to improve communication with parents and students, which will be available for download soon.
Jarvis emphasized the importance of meeting federal ADA compliance requirements by 2027, ensuring that all users, including those with disabilities, can navigate the website effectively. The transition to the new site is scheduled for June 24, with assurances of a seamless experience for users.
The meeting then shifted to public comments, where Aaron Burris addressed the board regarding communication issues within the girls' basketball program. He expressed concern over the lack of communication from the coaching staff and advocated for the hiring of Lindsay Adams, the current coach, citing her positive impact on his daughter and other players. Burris urged the board to consider the experiences of former players in evaluating Adams' coaching.
The board concluded the open session and moved into a closed session to discuss personnel matters and seek legal advice, with no further public discussion planned for the remainder of the meeting.
