Burris said the coach in question, Lindsay Adams, had not been able to communicate with players for almost three weeks and that players were uncertain about team status. He described Adams as a formative influence for his daughter and asked the board to include former players — including college athletes who had worked with Adams — in any review or interviews. Burris acknowledged he did not know all details of any personnel matter but said he believed it would be an “injustice” not to hear from former players.

After public comment, Chairman Potts announced the board would go into closed session for personnel and to receive advice from the board attorney. A motion to enter closed session was made by Michael Hunter, seconded by Khan; the board voted to enter closed session and did not return to open session except to adjourn.

Haines said May featured Special Olympics, end-of-season athletics and arts showcases; the district celebrated 23 retirees representing a combined 557 years of service and staged senior visits to elementary schools. She said 181 preschoolers recently graduated and 28 early-college students graduated; 23 of the early-college graduates also completed an associate degree through Davidson‑Davie Community College (DDCC). Haines credited staff coordination, volunteers and a local business, Seventh Dimension, which contributed funds to clear student lunch debt and to assist families.

Haines described a local multi‑week transition from PowerSchool to Infinite Campus for the district student‑information system. She said Davie County piloted state-integrated transportation data work, with transportation staff helping ensure the district’s Infinite Campus data matched the state transportation system; the state sought the district’s guidance because of its strong data practices.

Regarding facilities, Haines gave a tentative timeline for the advanced manufacturing lab project: construction bids to go out July 1, bid openings on August 17, contractor selection by September and a target to have classes organized for a February start if the schedule holds. She also said Davie High’s practice field is undergoing major repairs, including new sod and top dressing; the project requires at least three weeks of recovery before full use and the district plans contingencies for summer workouts.

Haines reported attendance: a month‑7 PMR (percentage of membership reporting) of 94.7%, the strongest month‑7 rate since before COVID, and month‑8 PMR at 94.71%. She reminded the board that end‑of‑course tests (EOCs) and end‑of‑grade tests (EOGs) occur on differing school schedules within state testing windows and encouraged parents to support students with rest and nutrition during test days.

Haines announced personnel changes: Valerie Feazer will move from director of accountability and student information into the principalship at William Ellis Middle School when Ms. Morrison retires July 1; Eric (last name not specified) in transportation was recognized for his role in the Infinite Campus transition. Haines also introduced Dr. Heath Belcher, the incoming superintendent who will be sworn in July 1 and who has been touring schools prior to starting the position.

The board had no formal vote tied to these status updates during the report.","Interim Superintendent Miss Haines reviewed end-of-year activities, staffing changes, a county-wide student-data system transition and a tentative schedule for the new advanced manufacturing lab construction bidding.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6547738,"Davie County Schools to switch website vendor, launch mobile app and meet ADA deadline",735,3435000,4170000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3648603-a923c84088bfa32bff5b5503ad28add5&start=3435&end=4170","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3648603-a923c84088bfa32bff5b5503ad28add5/thumbnail_3435000.jpg","/articles/6547738/North-Carolina/Davie-County-Schools-to-switch-website-vendor-launch-mobile-app-and-meet-ADA-deadline","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6547738-e449af6a88ae6a817d5cf0a8742f5b5a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771201043&Signature=hfIs7d~fqPyASs1JJPcnLfY8rOOBsRUU1Y1kQ6yK0XWhXH-0iLNPBDm7tpl2LSmwSqidW2c~Th0BnT4p3R~yjmFbCsK1OHNXm211na5QTExPI~VsBU0njl38188zaOD-Y5iYURE8bRq~lm78nVatmGGbP8XbUmUQY1GdNEXk04rtk5ZsRr3SHvji-eVn0boczh6sWavqWNRcEOnBI2gBPNtLANw~GA0qAsai6DIKvG9sHqKNWKahuHtqrleQWd2gfr2Las03v9NoHtGyRHTb5FfeG~mXZSU7JwQawL2ruX71iV02tXMRXqWoWWI2i2UzBjqHy-8Ee7INgdWXaa2nzA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Kim Jarvis, a district communications staff member, and a colleague identified as John told the board Davie County Schools has contracted with a new website vendor, Apogee, and plans a seamless site transition for godavie.org on Tuesday, June 24. The team previewed a mobile app that will push live notices, calendar events and news to families and staff.

Jarvis said the move responds to an expiring five‑year contract with the current vendor and to repeated requests for an easier editing experience for school staff. She said Apogee’s content editor will allow multiple staff per school to maintain pages and that the new design shows more visible news items, an events feed tied to the district calendar and a dedicated translate button.

A central rationale for the change is accessibility compliance. Jarvis said the district must meet federal accessibility requirements (Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act) by 2027 and that Apogee provides tools and processes to make images, captions, navigation and color contrast compliant. She said some content did not transfer because it was not ADA‑compliant and will be rebuilt with accessible captions, alt text and readable formatting.

The mobile app — a separate download linked from godavie.org — will surface live feed alerts, calendar items and news pushed from district systems. Jarvis noted integration options with Infinite Campus and said the district will decide which notification pathways to use; the district currently relies on Infinite Campus for many mass communications. Board members asked whether the system will be used for athletic cancellations and were told the live feed can support weather delays, emergency alerts and calendar-driven notifications if enabled.

Training is under way: the communications team is training three to five staff at each school to maintain content. Jarvis said the June 24 launch date should be seamless for users; staff will continue to refine pages and links over the summer.

No formal vote was taken on the website vendor or launch date during the presentation; the communications staff asked the board to note the update and to support the transition work.","District communications staff previewed a refreshed website and mobile app built by vendor Apogee, citing ease of editing, improved live-event feeds and accessibility work to meet federal ADA requirements by 2027.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6547743,"Davie County Schools details AIG plan revisions, moves universal screening to end of second grade",1069,2315000,3384000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3648603-a923c84088bfa32bff5b5503ad28add5&start=2315&end=3384","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3648603-a923c84088bfa32bff5b5503ad28add5/thumbnail_2315000.jpg","/articles/6547743/North-Carolina/Davie-County-Schools-details-AIG-plan-revisions-moves-universal-screening-to-end-of-second-grade","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6547743-077d2cdead8d9f070e93a3b0ccbd9083/orig.mp4?Expires=1771201043&Signature=cKSBkbi5LkoHQanQbygD5gs7RuT81q~ry2pJmevOZ~dCVyZF28nB3X8Th-jPW5azGc-ERObkh77VLf-sj3Zrb4PLqoo8~dYDppgw~V2gQzU8hHJnZOETZ~6Syk6GhRsCWXmCeKXIO2fB-NtTwtx-zCbTGfl6UuKzj601Bpsoa5YOxD2iyHbzuWR62GRHtTv5T3F-2dbSFM0QaJBqBIIbDfYPfwEO4Q9wUV0z0cLfsrwoWSwoYKN6zcFKrRoCA9rGL~sp3U11G3Yv8xU9PSITwLbUDzzXRQHMEttX1C5uCErQQYyexJDVc8~7T5pyMwNXax3oUWxzBSr-huSRCyln6g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Sherry White, Davie County Schools district AIG coordinator, told the school board that the district’s three-year AIG plan has been revised to reflect new state guidance and local priorities and that the proposed document will be placed on a future consent agenda for board approval.

The revisions, contained in a plan White described as about 61 pages, change the district’s universal screening to the end of second grade using a picture-based form of the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT), while maintaining formal identification at the end of third grade. White said the earlier screening will allow the district to “ease them into it” and form nurturing groups for rising third graders; identification and parent notification will remain a multi-data process completed before fourth-grade services begin.

White told the board the district currently identifies 15.23% of students for AIG services and that state funding for AIG is provided at 4% regardless of local identification rates. She said Davie County employs 33 licensed staff (state gifted-education endorsement on their license) and 23 locally endorsed staff who completed the district’s 30-hour local endorsement course. The district supports AIG work with specialists at elementary, middle and high school levels and with a lead AIG specialist who serves as a high-school liaison.

White walked the board through specific changes across the state’s six AIG program standards: identification and screening (Standard 1); honors‑level coursework and talent development (Standard 2); differentiated curriculum and collaboration with EC and ESL (Standard 3); professional development (Standard 4); partnerships (Standard 5); and accountability and written procedures (Standard 6). She said honors-level high-school teachers will complete a Canvas module of guidance and submit artifacts to ensure honors courses meet the state’s instructional expectations. The plan also adds talent-development initiatives such as STEM camps, kindergarten readiness camps and the freshman academy pathways as district practices.

On assessment and data, White said the district will expand screening pools for students in grades 3–8 (for example, new-in-district students and level‑5 scorers not previously identified), clarify high‑school Gifted Services Team (GST) roles and begin setting identification thresholds after a year of data. She described plans to use RTI Stored, a data platform, to centralize evidence and measure program effectiveness.

Board members asked clarifying questions about funding, screening timing and the permanence of AIG identification. White confirmed the state funding percentage is not under local control, that universal screening will be administered at the end of second grade but identification will remain at the end of third grade, and that students, once formally identified, retain AIG status though services and placements can change with GST and parent involvement.

White said the revised AIG plan follows the North Carolina Board of Education’s updated AIG program standards (approved July 2024) and noted that local advisory input — including students, principals and AIG specialists — informed the revisions. She told the board she anticipates submitting the plan for the board’s consent‑agenda approval at the next meeting so it can be sent to the state Department of Public Instruction for review.

The presentation concluded with board acknowledgment of the volume of material and White’s offer to place the plan on the consent agenda; White told members she was “all for” immediate approval but that the plan would appear on the next consent agenda if the board preferred.

The board did not take a formal vote on the AIG plan during the presentation; White said the plan will be added to the consent agenda for the next meeting.","District AIG coordinator presented a revised 61-page AIG (Academically or Intellectually Gifted) plan that updates screening, identification and program standards; the plan will be placed on a future consent agenda for board approval.","actionData","errors"]
