Confirmation with knowledgeable people that new super announcement is forthcoming. It will be Rob Graham (current super at Radford schools). Lingering questions: Rob Graham is one of the highest paid superintendents in the state, will PCPS match his current salary? and.....how much is PCPS paying to buy out his current contract with RCPS?

Continuing the tradition of hiring from one of the surrounding districts, the rumors are looking increasingly accurate that PCPS will hire Rob Graham, current Radford City Schools Superintendent, to the top job.
Likely why RCPS has this 'special called' meeting on Tuesday.

Available services include in-person, online and hybrid tutoring provided one-on-one and in small group or large-group settings. Parents of students with disabilities may also use up to $750 of their awards for the purchase of assistive technologies specified in their child’s Individualized Education Plan or 504 Plan.

The grant program is open to parents of any public, private, parochial or home-school student in grades K-12 residing in Virginia. The first step in the process is to visit VDOE’s K-12 Learning Acceleration Grants page and create an application account for either a $1,500 or $3,000 grant.

Once parents are notified that their application has been accepted and approved, they will be able to log into the K-12 Learning Acceleration Grants “digital wallet” to select from a variety of vetted, pre-approved tutors.

All grant payments will be issued directly by VDOE to selected tutors and service providers with no out-of-pocket expenses to families. At least $750 of each grant must be spent by August 15; otherwise, the remaining funds will be reallocated to other applicants.

To address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on students' educational progress and well-being, Governor Glenn Youngkin announced in March 2023 the availability of $30 million in Learning Acceleration Grants to be used for qualifying education services.
