Two new grants coming to Roanoke to combat gun violence among school-age children
One grant will help to hire a gang violence coordinator to work in the schools
ROANOKE, Va. – New grants are coming to the City of Roanoke to combat gun violence.
During Monday’s joint city council and Roanoke City School Board meeting, two grants were revealed in hopes of preventing youth violence. One is the Gun Violence Intervention Program Grant and the other is the Youth and Gang Violence Community Assessment. The intervention grant will allow the city and school district to hire a gang violence coordinator to work over a two-year period in hopes of combating violence among school-age children.

In-person instruction to increase for Roanoke's elementary students, some secondary


Elementary and certain secondary students can attend school in-person four days per week beginning next month, the Roanoke School Board voted Wednesday.
Following a fraught discussion over whether the district could have done even more, the board voted unanimously to bring back all elementary students and voted 6-1 to bring back certain middle and high school students four days per week. Laura Rottenborn was the sole dissenting vote because she wanted more secondary students to attend four days.
“I recognize that it’s not black and white. I think there are lots of countervailing considerations,” she said. “But I would prefer a plan that at least maxed out our capacity in our schools within the guidelines. I don’t think we’ve turned over every stone to do it, and my heart is truly broken for the kids in our district who are genuinely suffering. It hurts.”

Roanoke School Board postpones capital improvement plan vote over equity concerns


The Roanoke School Board decided Tuesday to postpone a vote approving the school district’s 2022-26 capital improvement plan due to lingering questions about the selection process and concerns that crucial projects may be excluded. The board will vote at its next regular meeting on March 8.
Multiple school board members said they wanted to see improvements at Westside Elementary included in the plan. They also asked questions about the selection process, concerned other needs may have been missed.
“I just don’t want to miss anything in terms of school needs,” Natasha Saunders said.
The capital improvement plan is a five-year list — in this case, from fiscal years 2022 to 2026 — that maps out capital projects and appropriate funding sources.
