VCS Names V3A Principal, EC Director

/by

Vance County Schools announced Thursday the appointment of two educators in leadership roles, one a VCS veteran and the other who is new to the school district.

Dr. Jessica Perry was named principal of Vance Virtual Village Academy after serving as interim principal of V3A since August 2020. Natashalyn Snipes was selected as director of exceptional children, effective July 1, 2021.

Perry is a familiar face to Vance County Schools. “With over 20 years of educational experience as a teacher, administrator and district leader, we are certain Dr. Perry will propel V3A into an innovative opportunity that personalizes education for every student,” according to a statement from Aarika Sandlin, VCS public information officer.  Perry graduated from N.C. State University with a degree in business and marketing education. She has a master’s degree in educational leadership from

Wheeling Jesuit University and a doctorate in education and educational leadership from Gardner-Webb University. In a written statement to WIZS News, Perry said, “I am looking forward to assisting students in gaining access and opportunities with anytime, anywhere teaching and learning.”

Snipes will take over upon the retirement of Dr. Gloria Jones. She has been a teacher, school leader, EC facilitator, and most recently, was the director of exceptional children, student services and preschool at Weldon City Schools, Sandlin said.

Snipes graduated from UNC-CH with a degree in psychology and got her master’s degree in arts and teaching in special education and a master’s in school administration from N.C. Central University. She is currently a doctoral candidate in education leadership at UNC-CH. “Snipes is a transformational leader committed to developing instructional programs that will meet the educational and behavioral needs of all students,” Sandlin said.

Bike Ride and Chicken Plates to Benefit Families

/by

Vance County Sheriff Curtis Brame has provided WIZS News with a one-sheet flyer explaining there is a “benefit bike ride for the families of Captain Michael Davis and Trooper Brent Montgomery” coming up.

All bikers are invited.

May 1 is the date, and the Roses Parking Lot on Norlina Road/North Garnett Street is the place.  Register from 12 noon until 2 p.m.  Kickstands up at 2:30 p.m.

$10 per bike.

All proceeds from the bike ride, and the previously promoted BBQ chicken plate sale put on by Henderson-Vance First Responders, will be presented to the Davis and Montgomery Families.

Brame wrote on the flyer, “Let’s come together and show our love and support for these two families.”

As a reminder, the BBQ chicken plate event on Friday, April 30th is being handled by advanced sale of tickets.  Brame said on the flyer, “If you are interested in purchasing a benefit plate, donations are $10 and tickets must be purchased prior to April 16.”

Some additional contacts who have tickets, in addition to others you may have seen published or heard about previously, include Howard Anderson at 252.915.9288 or Eddie Hicks at 252.204.6040.

Vance Board of Elections to Demonstrate/Purchase New Voting Equipment

/by

Vance County elections officials are preparing to purchase new voting equipment and will hold a public meeting next week as part of the decision-making process, according to Elections Director Faye Gill.

The meeting is scheduled for 11 a.m. Monday, April 19, 2021 at Perry Memorial Library in the Farm Bureau Room. During the meeting, a simulated election and test of the new voting system and ballot-marking device will take place, giving participants an idea of how the new equipment will function. The equipment was purchased from Printelect/ES&S, a certified vendor of election equipment and the county’s current vendor. The Board of Elections received $83,876 from the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) to help make the purchase, which must be made by June 30, 2021. Although the total cost for the new equipment exceeds $260,000, the HAVA money, along with a trade-in allowance of just over $21,000 and $30,000 from the City of Henderson reduces the amount that the county will chip in to fund the purchase.

The meeting is open to the public. Anyone interested in attending the meeting, can email Faye Gill at fgill@vancecounty.org to sign up for the meeting. Masks and social distancing will be required. Attendance is limited to 50 people.

Anyone not able to attend the April 19th meeting may provide comment to the Board of Elections via email to fgill@vancecounty.org or by delivering written comment to the Board of Elections office no later than 9:30 a.m. on April 19. The Board of Elections office is located in the Henry A. Dennis Building, 300 S. Garnett St., Henderson.
