This amendment provides $500,763 the second year from the general fund to support Hampton City School (HCS) division for its Academies of Hampton. The one-time funding would pay for completion of course curriculum that is focused on the workforce needs of employers within the Hampton Roads region, materials and equipment needed to implement career and college academies in each of the high schools. Additionally, funding will support the ongoing efforts of HCS to provide on-site visits, materials and support to other school divisions to transform the high school experience and meet the standards established by Virginia's Profile of a Graduate.
