The Comprehensive Literacy Plan for Roanoke City Public Schools provides a framework for literacy development, instruction, and assessment to foster proficient readers, writers, independent thinkers, and effective communicators. It is aligned with the Virginia Literacy Act and emphasizes the use of science-based reading research, evidence-based literacy instruction, and high-quality instructional materials. The plan also focuses on continuous professional development for staff, systematic monitoring of student achievement and division progress, and active engagement with parents, caregivers, and the community to close literacy achievement gaps.
The Special Meeting and Workshop began with the approval of an amended agenda to include an additional closed meeting topic and reorder Superintendent's Reports. Recognitions were given for School Board Appreciation Month (February 2026) and School Board Clerk Appreciation Week 2026. The Board approved the Personnel List as presented. Key discussion points during Superintendent's Reports included an update on the STAR program, high school summer school, and Kindergarten Registration for the 2026-27 school year. The Board formally approved the signature of the Superintendent for the Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI) plans application workbook to secure additional funding for two CSI Schools. A presentation covered the Capital Improvement Plan and Capital Maintenance Program, highlighting significant deferred maintenance needs due to budget cuts and reliance on city funding for aging infrastructure. A collaborative discussion was held regarding the FY 2026-27 Budget Development, focusing on the impact of new city funding policies which resulted in a significant budget gap, largely driven by personnel costs. Ongoing business included discussions on the evolution of Student Representative roles and communication strategies. The Board convened a closed meeting to discuss personnel matters and the potential acquisition of real property, which was certified upon reopening.
