The director credited student workers, transportation staff and maintenance for enabling expanded service and said the division’s summer team included employees and seasonal workers from transportation, substitutes and other staff. She said the second unit was largely assembled in-house by mechanics and maintenance personnel.
Regarding pricing, the presenter explained that all PCPS students are eligible for one breakfast, one lunch and one supper at no cost: breakfast and lunch are funded through the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) and supper is funded through the At-Risk Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). The presentation included the federal methodology for setting adult meal prices and noted the district’s minimum adult lunch price calculation produced a figure of $4.84, which the board approved raising to $4.85 to avoid handling pennies.
The director said pantry and hygiene-closet supports and family events are among community-schools activities funded by other grants and that the nutrition department will continue evening stops that proved popular. No board action was required for the update; trustees praised staff for summer service levels and the expanded evening hours.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","PCPS School Board Meeting August 28, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The district’s nutrition director reported summer feeding served more than 68,514 meals, expanded evening service slots and explained federal rules that allow all students to receive breakfast, lunch and supper at no cost through CEP and CACFP; adult meal pricing follows USDA guidance.","taxTitle","PAGE CO PBLC SCHS, School Districts, Virginia","taxId",54435,"location","Virginia","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6014044,"Page County schools detail grants portfolio: Title programs, school improvement and CS education grants",2243,1124000,3367000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5793343-4682e92a9450d8816ebb75de7997b5cc&start=1124&end=3367","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5793343-4682e92a9450d8816ebb75de7997b5cc/thumbnail_1124000.jpg","/articles/6014044/Virginia/Page-County-schools-detail-grants-portfolio-Title-programs-school-improvement-and-CS-education-grants","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6014044-ec68401b642028727c9c918c77550812/orig.mp4?Expires=1770852064&Signature=KrmPP4xNJr5kTXyK0UyqVdep6bICATSdTsFzWFMk8wwCVtZBVsRsqoOoeQp-6llo38T-2GjkaT6-n8Az6R44P~o0iSqNg0n81dQk0TaRaQwUGXWYr8W-jjuKbiPVOTHF2MIJr76LxYqUzdWgQAZ~vqo7yhOZ9iCndXaL6Db3CvY0Ul~7iqCdNbfFDuyQmGYst52cci-Ym1EPSkc~Lyf0TR2CKtrLvtEd6E2c9FzZ07Qp1WQ9mLU1MiCE9UgbTMqGKBPCw~bqcDMljXLuQLAR7Wl26J~elHZZHXoPAcuIu5ZOWuJTli2u5NiAq8qwajfZ9FIH4GU4m4cUQbhm~lS1sQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","District staff gave an extended overview of federal and state grant programs supporting Page County Public Schools, including Title I, II, III and IV allocations, school-improvement funds, a community schools award and targeted microgrant money.
Mister Hopkins told the board Title I funding for the current grant year is projected at about $1 million and said the grant typically pays salaries for Title I teachers and assistants. He also said Title 2 funds support staff development and endorsements (iTeach), with a projected FY25 allocation (stated in the presentation as about $137,000). Title 3 funding supports growing English-learners: the division reported roughly 80 English learners this year, up from historically about 50; the speaker said Title 3 funds are tightly restricted and currently estimated at about $5,000 for targeted materials and supplies.
Staff described Title 4 investments in STEM and materials, and said a portion of Title 4 funds has historically shifted toward salary increases required elsewhere in the budget; the presenter said the division set aside about $10,000 for Title 4 activities this year.
The presentation also covered a school improvement (SIG) award that supports targeted schools designated TSI and ATSI (Page Middle and LES were named). Department presenters described investments in professional development and materials tied to those awards and in a Comprehensive Literacy State Development grant that provided $14,000 for early literacy supports at LES and a separate $30,000 award for professional development at Page Middle.
The division reported a community-schools grant that funds family engagement, hygiene closets and after-school resources; the speaker said award letters were pending and that the division has combined multiple awards into nearly $2 million in total grant revenue across several programs over recent years. A microgrant of $10,006.25 was presented to support attendance and family engagement events tied to a pilot cellphone-free initiative.
Separately, Mister Samples and colleagues described an Advancing Computer Science Education (ACSC) grant proposal that would expand K–5 computer science supports, involve 18 teachers and produce exemplar lessons shared on the GoOpenVirginia platform. The ACSC proposal requested a total of $72,351.59 for stipends, substitutes, FICA and classroom materials.
Board members asked clarifying questions about EL staffing, timing of reimbursements and how grant rules differ. Several grants were presented as informational; the board approved one computer-science grant application that required a filing deadline before the next board meeting.","Officials presented a broad grants update covering Title I–IV, school improvement funds, the community schools grant, microgrant initiatives and two computer-science education grant applications; several awards will fund staff, professional development and student programs.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6014049,"Facilities study underway; maintenance reports show heavy summer workload and full staffing",484,632000,1116000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5793343-4682e92a9450d8816ebb75de7997b5cc&start=632&end=1116","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5793343-4682e92a9450d8816ebb75de7997b5cc/thumbnail_632000.jpg","/articles/6014049/Virginia/Facilities-study-underway-maintenance-reports-show-heavy-summer-workload-and-full-staffing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6014049-f35bef3b9769993c63b0643d7212ddf0/orig.mp4?Expires=1770852064&Signature=JWrD7OEhU13S0zt2akip~y9EWG4h18G6VjtSTourdeMiFXjkWH6-ek2guC8xdIpxCS~0ykf5Y86CKxPFr8QBE0ubGTDY7SvOzMkO-pf2GH89Ho6eMCqZL1ZP1RIO02gFpedlDpAjmnkd3QlUmNes-M7ngG1DloH~oxVhUj4ZzbQX0cFtaSJ8IcU3xrdB7TnEwfU9qXWN51aVwJGPdm-JukN25SEIW8EHPS46jc0iw6gpIzBFzNQ0BmYS6Nayj0Q3mcdgG0klu~AWLAtEQVtHay4u8-HlJHrPcQi0xkHXjc-HrY2tc~awuCOqi4NO9yciowSWjq2oKl21eTdUxwzCMw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","District staff updated the board on the ongoing architectural and facilities study and on maintenance work done over the summer. The RRMM team has reviewed Bureau Veritas facility condition assessments, received as-built drawings and scheduled on-site visits in September, the presentation said.
Doctor Johnson told trustees RRMM is reviewing energy-consumption charts, as-built drawings and past facility-investment records so consultants can present programming and adequacy guidelines. The division said demographic geocoding and districting work will use enrollment data after Oct. 1 to ensure bus routes and student placements have stabilized before recommendations are finalized.
Facilities work ties to maintenance operations: maintenance staff summarized work orders submitted from June 9 through Aug. 22, showing middle schools were the highest-volume sites largely because of preventative maintenance on HVAC units. Categories of work listed included electrical rewiring and fixture replacement, carpentry repairs, plumbing repairs, HVAC filter and coil work, safety (camera and badge systems) and general maintenance such as painting and playground mulch.
Maintenance leaders said preventative schedules are tracked in the work-order system, and corrective orders respond to day-to-day needs. The board heard that the maintenance team is fully staffed for the first time in months, a change officials said will improve response times and planned work completion.
The presentation did not request immediate board action; trustees asked clarifying questions about timeline and data sources and were told consultants will present matrices and measurement guidelines in future meetings. The district emphasized that investment history and coded work-order data are being compiled to tell the buildings’ maintenance story to the consultants.","An external architectural and facilities study team has reviewed condition-assessment reports and scheduled on-site work; maintenance presented a June–August work-order summary and said the division is fully staffed after a recent hiring push.",{"_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},6014054,"Page County schools begin fleet upgrade, add passenger vans and sedans",305,360000,665000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5793343-4682e92a9450d8816ebb75de7997b5cc&start=360&end=665","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5793343-4682e92a9450d8816ebb75de7997b5cc/thumbnail_360000.jpg","/articles/6014054/Virginia/Page-County-schools-begin-fleet-upgrade-add-passenger-vans-and-sedans","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6014054-3b51386707a83b8bc563ba8525cf0fdc/orig.mp4?Expires=1770852064&Signature=Hm4O12P~cBx0EfefFnLgRT1-q~oOw1DyssmE0Fg2-~mCZ7ZzVjo~SRgR9iSNWEuaUG~RfQV-9ND22OjuyKbOk49PjXgktKP5~mgPA0hUONIFd3XRZaCd8vbIOm5USJxKZiku2xioHrQukcd379OIRu4ar9qzFlmn2p7SVwArEnQvQhPWsVYtFs89tBPlEABEDkEFhFDCgidUp2LfuZE5kj~ACheFOoezZzAXmIbNuq76hcjFJMPvZqMBMJbCkW5gAVB-L1LaBw-G0BZ~SkL07neCZfGf3YgfTajDNHNz8kN9L3t6HBZusrsebp~zUOLITUwJxWoXouJ~SXwyjpHmSQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Page County Public Schools staff reported the start of a multi-vehicle fleet upgrade during the business operations update, saying four Nissan sedans and two Chrysler Voyager passenger vans have arrived and additional vans and a pickup truck remain in the procurement pipeline.
Doctor Johnson briefed the board and credited Corey Turner, the division’s head mechanic, for coordinating the transition with Enterprise Fleet. She said the new vehicles will replace older units that have high mileage; Johnson noted one older Ford Taurus (2005) had roughly 219,000 miles and that some vehicles in service dated to the early 2000s.
Johnson emphasized operational priorities: “student first is the strategy here,” and said two of the new sedans will be rotated into the driver-education fleet so students train in vehicles with current safety features. Turner reported the team is identifying compatible plow pieces for a pickup so winter service can continue with familiar equipment.
Staff told trustees that two new Chrysler Voyager passenger vans are already in service and two more are en route; procurement choices aimed at immediate availability rather than waiting for model-year changes so transportation needs at the start of school would be met.
No board action was requested; the item was informational. Board members thanked transportation and maintenance staff for the work and noted the purchases respond to safety and reliability concerns raised in prior meetings.","School division staff reported arrival of new passenger vans and four sedans as part of an Enterprise fleet upgrade; the board heard details about vehicle conditions and allocation plans but took no formal vote.",{"_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},6014059,"Page County School Board unanimously approves Division Crisis Response Plan",602,2076000,2678000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5793343-4682e92a9450d8816ebb75de7997b5cc&start=2076&end=2678","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5793343-4682e92a9450d8816ebb75de7997b5cc/thumbnail_2076000.jpg","/articles/6014059/Virginia/Page-County-School-Board-unanimously-approves-Division-Crisis-Response-Plan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6014059-58a24b4689c0b863c9f24311c5d7080c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770852064&Signature=cNEOU1Vx1t7AmRAep9kxMkWWIJ5-qtCKSQFvV84ICQsDDNJzbtBA0ZohXL9qZ6i6XZJ-~mxQ5ZM1YCLy~eXQuLOzKnhpG36YIr8S3czoy4gKfnyyKMQDTFSiiy09Vj-xeDNIU4ulrDR4UkfhK0-8O5aBmnGLwqz19kofHQgD9NojHfatp2ePH8eiYv6b-7qzFk9Z~zx13fSEACNPaYC3E-HzG44MVdEOlkilRJSBJkwTlsCSFU6IJcjzUDLiWz3XjPwcOlr1Gt2LWMDvojnYcm8HgDawFr1buvZMH2HNpxJ4FAW0ADSbp4FHmMQohD3vha~GDoF2SMiWYFb1flkE2w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Page County School Board approved the Division Crisis Response Plan after trustees heard a multi-section briefing on the plan, trainings completed over the summer and interagency coordination. Doctor Johnson presented the plan and asked the board for formal approval.
The plan consolidates school-specific crisis teams, communication protocols, drills and training requirements and a confidential crisis manual for staff. Doctor Johnson told the board the manual is “a living, breathing document” that includes named backups and articulated responsibilities for principals, nurses, SROs and central office staff.
Board members were told principals and school leadership teams have been engaged in site-specific walkthroughs and checklists; trainings this summer included ALICE active-shooter training for leadership and follow-on staff sessions. Doctor Johnson said the division had run multiple days of training for new hires and that LifeSpot, the division’s security alert app, was strongly encouraged for staff though not required because it is installed on personal phones.
The presentation said the division also monitors Virginia Department of Education surveys and uses that data to guide counseling, school supports and crisis planning. Doctor Johnson said the division maintains an MOU with the sheriff’s office for incident response and that the division meets monthly with county emergency partners, SROs and fire and rescue leadership.
In a motion to approve the plan, a board member moved and the board recorded affirmative votes; the motion passed and the Division Crisis Response Plan was approved. The board voted on the item after the informational presentation that ran through August preparedness activities and concludes the plan-is-ready action item presented to trustees.
The board directed that a parent-facing summary of the plan be prepared: the confidential manual will be summarized so parents know the high-level procedures in place and can access a parent version of the manual online. The presentation also said the Division would share appropriate non-confidential portions with the Virginia Department of Education as evidence of compliance and readiness.
No new funding or contract awards were requested as part of the approval; the board approved the plan as presented.","The Page County School Board voted to approve the Division Crisis Response Plan after a summer of trainings and coordination with law enforcement and the Virginia Department of Education.","actionData","errors"]
