Mitch Stegall, Jackie Stone, and Becky Gresham took immediate action in a unified effort to save the life of Scott Freeman. The three team members administered CPR for over 30 minutes, until other medical professionals arrived and CPR was continued for close to 55 minutes, total.
We would like to recognize these three dedicated Wilkes County School employees and proud West Wilkes High School Blackhawks for their quick response and the commitment to continue CPR beyond the standard time recommended. These three fast acting Wilkes County Schools employees exemplify the attributes that make our school system a wonderful place to work. Thank you for your dedication to others.
Focus on the Curriculum was presented by AIG Coordinator/Specialist Ms. Angie Lamb, who shared some of the highlights of our 2016-2019 AIG State Plan. Currently 980 students have been identified in Wilkes County Schools in areas of Reading and Math. If a school has more than eight identified students, they are placed in more than one classroom. Teachers who are currently assigned AIG students have to be licensed through the state or have completed the local professional development that is outlined in the AIG Plan. High School students’ schedules, grades, classes, college applications, scholarships, etc. are monitored by counselors and an AIG contact person at each school. Our goal is to increase the number of students in the ACT Prep classes, offer ACT Prep scholarships, Offer Duke TIP financial assistance for middle school students that qualify, begin Science Olympiad teams in high schools. Increase the AIG population, especially the under-represented population by mass screenings for all 3rd grade students. Work with all schools to focus on the social and emotional needs for gifted students.
Chairman Mr. Holbrook asked if anyone had signed up for public comments. No one had signed up.
On a motion by Ms. Huffman, seconded by Mr. Shumate and duly carried, the personnel report and blue sheet were approved as presented.
