At the May Business meeting of the Williamsburg City Council, members directed the city manager to request a response from Williamsburg-James City County Schools leadership regarding performance outcomes identified in the recent independent school division feasibility study. Earlier this week, that letter was sent requesting the School Board and administration to provide a plan for action to improve student performance, a timeline for implementation and achieving the desired results, and any associated costs by July 31, 2024. The City worked with Dr. Jeffery Smith, who led a team of education experts to conduct the Independent School System Feasibility Study, to identify targeted student performance areas that should be addressed in the action plan. ◾Read the full request at https://lnkd.in/eWvskN5f ◾You can find the study, a summary of the study, background materials, and a feedback form at https://lnkd.in/g8MRttn6.

This week, Capt. Chris Garrett completed his final shift with the Williamsburg Fire Department. Capt. Garrett is retiring after serving the department and community for more than 26 years, beginning his career at WFD in January 1998. He was promoted to lieutenant in January 2009 and reclassified to captain on Aug. 1, 2020. Captain Garrett was one of the department's most knowledgeable members, and his mentorship will be missed. Captain Garrett also helped manage the repair and maintenance of the department’s vehicle fleet, small tools, and generators. He also served on several committees designing the next generation of fire apparatus. On Wednesday, Capt. Garrett’s shift hosted a dinner to celebrate his retirement. His family along with Chiefs Brian Phillips and Larry Snyder were in attendance, where he was presented with a City of Williamsburg flag that flown over the Capitol Building in Colonial Williamsburg. We thank Captain Garrett for his unwavering commitment to our department and the Greater Williamsburg community. A part of his legacy will live on through the knowledge and training he provided to those he worked alongside. Please join us in congratulating Capt. Garrett on his retirement!

Last month, the Williamsburg Fire Department, Williamsburg Police Department, York County, Virginia Department of Fire and Life Safety, and the York-Poquoson Sheriff's Office helped fulfill the wish of 4-year-old Joshua Gonce to ride in a fire truck. With the help of Make-A-Wish Foundation of Greater Virginia and the Learning Experience, the departments teamed together to give Joshua, a cancer patient who has been in remission for two years, and his 6-year-old brother a ride in two fire trucks.
