Since April, CAAR members have donated time and fi-nances to a critically needed community service effort-Seniors Safe at Home. A partnership with Albemarle

Housing Improvement Program and Blue Ridge Home Builders Association, this campaign will help five to

10 senior families in our area make emergency home repairs that they don’t have the resources

to do on their own. Thanks to the immense generosity of Howard and Karen Pape for a $5,000 member match donation,the general membership stepped up to exceed that

amount, totaling $10,859 by July 15.

A special thank-you to the following key contributors for inspiring the real estate community to surpass the goal.

What’s HappeningAround Town?Bras for a Cause Helps Cancer Patients Look, Feel Their Best

Have you ever seen a bra made of colored pencil tips or pink construc-tion hats? How about a new meaning for “Chest of Drawers?” These were some of the creative—and outra-geous—contest entries at last year’s Blue Ridge Chapter of Women’s Council of REALTORS® Bras for a Cause event.

Sponsored by Monticello Media, Bras for a Cause is back this year as a truly unique opportunity bringing the local business community to-gether to benefit Flourish—a positive image boutique developed by UVa’s Emily Couric Clinical Cancer Center to help cancer patients look and feel their best under the most intense cir-cumstances. Plain bras are decorated, embellished and transformed into whatever the mind can dream up.

On Sunday, August 5 from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. at the Doubletree Hotel in Charlottesville, the bras will be mod-eled by a male member of the team during a fashion show, followed by an auction to raise money for Flourish.

Don’t miss this entertaining and fun-filled afternoon—all for a great cause. Hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar of wine, mimosas and Bloody Mary’s will be available. Tickets are $20 in advance; $25 at the event. Doors open at 1:30.

Check out the Bras for a Cause entries last year on facebook/Blu-eRidgeWCRBrasForACause. For more details and to purchase tickets, call Jodi at 434-466-7220.

ABA’s FISH Program Garners National Award for Effectiveness

National Association of Area Agen-cies on Aging (n4a) recently selected

JABA’s Friends in Schools Helping (FISH) program to be one of the first recipients of a “What’s Working—Ef-fective Practices” award.

The award, which is administered through the Aging Network Volun-teer Collaborative, recognized FISH as a cost-effective, proven practice for volunteer engagement and comes with a $15,000 grant. JABA will use the funding to help replicate the FISH program in other parts of the country by developing a written guide and a webinar, and hosting either a live chat or blog on how to start a similar program.

“We are honored to receive this award,” says Pat Severson, volunteer coordinator for the program. “One of the most gratifying parts of the FISH program is to witness the change in students when paired with a caring FISH tutor/mentor. Thanks to this grant, other organizations will be able to build on our experience to help students across the country.”

FISH is an intergenerational pro-gram providing screened, trained, engaged and satisfied volunteers to help solve critical needs in our public schools. Currently, the pro-gram’s more than 100 volunteers are active in 15 schools in the city of Charlottesville and the counties of Al-bemarle, Greene and Louisa. FISH is led by an all-volunteer team recruited from the RSVP program, which JABA also sponsors. To learn more about JABA’s FISH program and its volun-teer opportunities, contact JABA’s FISH team at (434) 817-5289, [email protected].

JABA (the Jefferson Area Board for Aging) serves the city of Charlottesville, and the counties of Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa and Nelson. JABA cares about all as-pects of senior and intergenerational welfare. The nonprofit organization works to promote, establish and pre-serve sustainable communities for healthy aging that benefit individu-als and families of all ages.

For information on JABA and an-swers to other aging related questions, contact JABA at (434) 817-5222 or vis-it the website www.jabacares.org.

Central Virginia’sPublic Schools More Than

MeettheGrade

By Joanne DiMaggio

If you have a family and are considering a move to central Virginia, or if you’re liv-ing in one county and plan to relocate to another, you may be wondering about the caliber of our local school systems and what each has to offer. To make it easy for you, we’ve compiled information on the public school districts in our readership area. Following is an overview of each of

those districts.

Albemarle County Public Schools Educational excellence is the number one prior-

ity for residents of Albemarle County, and the quality of Albemarle County Public Schools continues to be one of the top reasons people and businesses choose to locate here. In 2011, nine Albemarle County public schools were named among the highest performing schools in the Commonwealth through the Virginia Index of Performance Program. This distinction is the latest of many accolades to the schools and the county, which include being selected by Forbes magazine as one of the 20 best places in the nation to raise a family.

All 26 Albemarle County Public Schools are fully accredited by the Virginia Department of Education. The School Division’s on-time graduation rate of 93 percent places it well ahead of the state average and is among the highest rates of any school division in the

state. Overall pass rates for students in reading and mathematics on the Virginia Standards of Learning assessments also remain well in advance of state aver-ages and the same is true for SAT test scores in reading, mathematics and writing. In 2012, the division placed among the top three percent of all school divisions in the nation and Canada by being named to the College Board’s honor role for the success of its students on Ad-vanced Placement tests. Nearly two out of every three graduates of Albemarle County high schools earn an Advanced Studies diploma. But an education in Albe-marle County Public Schools is about much more than achievement on standardized tests.

Albemarle County Public Schools is actively work-ing to transform education for the 21st century to meet the needs of today’s learners and prepare them for our rapidly changing global economy. Through partner-ships with PVCC, the University of Virginia and James Madison University, students have opportunities to graduate with one semester or more of college credit already completed. In 2012, more than 1,500 students were enrolled in one or more college-level courses. The School Division is a leader in using data-driven deci-sion-making to improve student achievement, and in implementing model 21st century classrooms that utilize technology and concept-based instruction to accelerate learning through student engagement and collaboration.

In 2012, Albemarle High School was again named a Virginia Music Educators Association Blue Ribbon School for excellence in its com-bined music program: choir, band and orchestra. Sports teams at all three comprehensive high schools captured district, regional, and state titles, while extracurricular teams such as forensics, music and the-atre also took home local, state and national awards. For the 18th con-secutive year, Destination Imagina-tion teams from Albemarle County schools advanced to global compe-tition. The young women’s choir at Burley Middle School qualified for the World Choir Games and took home a bronze medal. A Monticello student captured a first place medal title at the National History Day competition and a Western Albe-marle student won a scholarship for placing first in the national English Honor Society essay competition.

Students from Albemarle County Public Schools are accepted to the top 25 research and liberal arts col-leges and universities every year, with more than 80 percent of graduates pursuing post-secondary education or certification. They have the oppor-tunity to pursue customized learning options through programs such as the Math, Engineering and Science Academy (MESA) at Albemarle High School, the Junior Air Force ROTC program at Monticello High, two charter schools: Murray High School and the Community Public Char-ter School for grades 6-8, and the Charlottesville-Albemarle Technical Education Center (CATEC), which offers 13 certification programs in marketable skilled trades.

And this year, a new Health and Medical Sciences Academy debuted at Monticello High School. The

academy will prepare students for successful academic and professional careers in a field that was cited in a county study as presenting its most promising economic development opportunities over the next several years. (www.k12albemarle.org)

Augusta County Public Schools

Augusta County Public Schools has a comprehensive educational program for students from preschool through high school. The school sys-tem takes in approximately 10,500 students from around the county. Augusta County Public Schools op-erate 21 schools including five high schools, four middle schools, and twelve elementary schools. Addition-ally, the division operates a regional vocational/technical center, a re-gional governor’s school, a regional special education program and a re-gional Head Start program.

Currently the division employs approximately 900 teachers and of-fers advanced curriculum in lan-guage arts, science, foreign language,

mathematics, social studies, physical education, and fine arts with college credit available. The schools offer a program for gifted and talented stu-dents in the areas of language arts, mathematics, art, music, and drama as well as vocational education pro-grams in agriculture, business, home economics, technology, trade and industry. Extensive media services and connections to the Internet are provided to all students and person-nel. Summer school enrichment and remedial programs are available as well as special education programs to provide a continuum of services for students with special needs. (www.augusta.k12.va.us)

Charlottesville City SchoolsThe Charlottesville City School

(CCS) Division made a strong start in addressing many of the objectives in the CCS Strategic Plan 2011-2017, based on four strategic goals and the vision statement of “Personal and Academic Excellence Inspired by a Collaborative and Innovative Learn-ing Environment.”

Goal 1: All students will graduate prepared for post-secondary educa-tion and active participation in society.

Goal 2: Schools will be partners with families and the community to meet the academic, physical, social, and emotional needs of every student.

Goal 3: Schools will be optimal teaching and learning environments, places of excellence and equity for all.

Goal 4: Charlottesville City Schools will be an exemplary workplace that attracts the best-qualified teachers, administrators, and support staff members.

Charlottesville City Schools are comprised of six elementary schools (preschool-4); one upper elementary school (5-6); one middle school (7-8) and one high school (9-12). As of Sep-tember 2011, enrollment for preK-12 was 4089 students.

Neighborhood schools with a global orientation expose City stu-dents to a wide variety of experi-ences, viewpoints, and opportuni-ties—preparing them not only for post-secondary education but also for life. The comprehensive CCS cur-riculum fosters innovative learning that incorporates the four C’s for students in preschool through grade twelve—Creativity, Critical Thinking, Collaboration, and Communication.

CCS teachers are making use of the latest technology to bring the world to students. Videoconferences link classrooms to people and places all over the globe. Students in grades 6-12 are assigned their own tablet computers, delivering access to learn-ing opportunities beyond the walls of the classroom.

ible environment, are being piloted at the high school. The school division also incorporates learning sites, elec-tronic textbooks, cloud computing, document cameras, VoIP, and other multimedia resources into an inte-grated learning network. In this set-ting, teachers serve as learning liai-sons, engaging student interest while challenging their thinking.

The division offers the only locally funded preschool program for 3-year-olds in the region. In the coming year, all K-5 students will incorporate Spanish lessons into their classroom curriculum.

CHS offers more than 30 college-level (Advanced Placement and Dual Enrollment) courses, and 83 percent of the 2011 AP exams taken by CHS students earned scores of 3 or high-er. SAT combined mean scores in Verbal, Math, and Writing — respec-tively, 546, 518, 530 — are well above both state and national mean scores. CHS had 18 Commended Scholars and seven students named as 2011 National Merit Scholar Finalists.

Five schools in the Charlottesville City School Division exceeded 2011 Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) indi-cators: Burnley-Moran, Clark, Green-brier Johnson, and Venable elemen-tary schools. Overall test scores show progress, while benchmarks contin-ued to rise. Jackson-Via Elementary, Walker Upper Elementary, Buford Middle School, and Charlottesville High School did not meet the bench-marks of 86 percent for reading and 85 percent for mathematics.

As a division, City Schools made gains in 13 of 18 AYP scoring areas.

• Jackson-Via made gains in 12 areas

• Buford/Burnley-Moran/Clark each made gains in 11 areas

• Venable made gains in eight areas; three areas remained the same at 100 percent.

• CHS made gains in seven areas (missed AYP in math by one point)

• Johnson made gains in six areas; four areas remained the same at levels exceeding the AYP target.

• Walker made gains in six areas.

• Greenbrier made gains in five areas; four areas maintained 100 percent and another exceeded the AYP target.

City schools benefit from com-munity partnerships that extend resources for learning through tu-toring, supplies and materials, men-toring, leadership development, vol-unteers, internships, and funding. (www.ccs.k12.va.us).

Louisa County Public SchoolsLouisa County Public Schools

(LCPS) currently has six schools: one high school (9-12), one middle school (6-8), and four elementary schools (pk-5). The building of Moss-Nuckols Elementary School, the county’s fourth elementary school, is completed and the school opened in August 2010. The division also has an alternative education center for students at the middle and high school levels. The high school has an extensive Career and Technical Edu-cation department and access to a Governor’s School. All LCPS schools are currently accredited by the Vir-ginia Department of Education, hav-ing met or exceeded the standards required on the SOL assessments.

During the 2011-2012 school year, the school division employed ap-proximately 385 teachers, and served about 4,754 students. The division strives to maintain a 21:1 student/teacher ratio at the elementary level and a 25:1 student/teacher ratio at the middle and high school levels.

In June of 2012, a total of 381 students received their diplomas at the high school’s seventy-first an-nual commencement service. Ap-proximately 36 percent planned to attend a four-year college, 36 percent planned to attend a two-year col-lege, 24 percent planned to work and three percent planned to enlist in the military and others were planning to attend a trade school.

Louisa County Public Schools utilizes the Effective Schools pro-cess where the staff examines school needs and sets goals each year. Both at the school level and at the district

level, the schools’ procedures and processes are continually assessed to ensure staff members are meet-ing the needs of its students and the community.

LCPS has seen continual progress since 1998 when Standards of Learn-ing testing began. Test scores have risen despite the fact that a different group of students are being tested each time, the SOLs are revised pe-riodically and additional SOL tests have been added over the years. (www.lcps.k12.va.us).

Madison County SchoolsPride. In all, Madison is known

not so much by “schools” as by educational families—students sur-rounded by caring, thoughtful par-ents and community members who expect graduates to have earned a top-notch education. Our students attend Virginia and the nation’s top schools and enter the workforce ex-ceptionally well prepared. This great feat is accomplished by a caring community centered on “Madison Pride”—the drive to provide children an absolutely remarkable education and a plethora of opportunities.

Schools. For nearly two de-cades, student enrollment has hov-ered around 2,000 students in four schools: Madison Primary School (PK-2), Waverly Yowell Elementary School (3-5), William H. Wetsel Mid-dle School (6-8), and Madison Coun-ty High School (9-12).

Exceptional Education. Madi-son County Public Schools (MCPS), a student-centered and community-supported school division, insures a superior education in a changing world. The vision is to build on ex-cellence to exceed community expec-tations … to be the best. Madison is proud of excellent schools, which fo-cus on traditional methods and pro-gressive programs in a never-ending cycle of improvement. That is why it is regarded as a superior school divi-

sion in the Commonwealth. MCPS is committed to helping stu-

dents acquire the strong values to deal effectively with important intellectual, ethical, and social problems.

Responding to community, parent, and workforce expectations, MCPS aims to educate children to be pre-pared for good citizenry and life-long learning. Twenty-first century skills require that tomorrow’s workforce be adept at technology, excellent commu-nicators, responsible employees, and physically fit and active. To this end, MCPS wants every secondary student to take Dual Enrollment, Advanced Placement, or earn an Industry Certi-fication prior to graduation as well as a foreign language. And it encourages all students to be scholar-athletes or scholar-performers.

MCPS embraces the notion of global awareness. It aims to provide world awareness through foreign language, current events, classes in culture and diversity, as well as K-12 division wide studies on a central question. It supports enrichment ex-periences for all students to engage them with the world beyond Madi-son and by developing national and international connections through virtual exchanges with national and international sister schools. It fully supports the incorporation of cul-tures and current events of local, na-tional and international communi-ties at every grade level.

Equally, MCPS supports the no-tion of community citizenry and awareness. It embraces the local community that is rich in history and tradition. Its landscape boasts preeminent countryside—mountain life and flatlands, rich with agricul-ture, viniculture, forestry, and pas-tureland. MCPS expects students to know the Madison community and natural wealth as it encourages field trips, community service projects and service learning. In its preemi-nent countryside, students have the opportunity to experience and learn from its amazing location.

All schools are fully accredited by the Commonwealth of Virginia with test scores demonstrating that all students are expected to succeed. Over the course of academic careers, beginning in Kindergarten, students excel in academic competitions. In fact, Madison has won the prestigious Wells Fargo Cup (formally Wachovia Cup) 18 times in 19 years in 2012. Winners of the Wells Fargo Cup are determined by a point system based on performance in Virginia High School League (VHSL) state compe-titions. Schools can earn academic

activity points for outstanding par-ticipation in scholastic bowl, creative writing, theatre, forensics, debate, newspaper, yearbook and magazine. VHSL named Madison “a traditional powerhouse school” in claiming top honors in the 2012-2012 Wells Fargo Cup race for year-long success.

Additionally, athletic competition is a tradition in Madison with numer-ous district, regional, and state cham-pionships. The most recent were the 2010 Boys State Basketball Champi-onship and a student-athlete, runner, winning four state championships by 2011—a remarkable accomplishment anywhere in all Virginia’s competi-tion history.

OCPS has over 735 identified gifted and talented students. The division also offers a summer schol-ars program for enrichment as well as Head Start, Early Head Start and Virginia Preschool Initiative. OCPS utilizes the School Messenger system to notify parents, students, and staff of school-related events.

Three hundred and seventy-eight students graduated from OCPS in 2012, of which 197 students received an Advanced Studies Diploma. Blue Ridge Virtual Governor’s School, Ad-vanced Placement, Dual Enrollment and Distant Learning opportunities are offered by OCPS.

Approximately 71 percent of this year’s graduating class is continuing their education.

Nearly 84 percent of graduates en-rolled in a Career & Technical Edu-cation Course during middle or high school. In addition, advanced math & foreign language instruction is of-fered.

OCPS has a five-year capital im-provement plan, which includes a new career and technical education center.

W ith many banks and investors stuck holding the bag of delinquent or foreclosed mort-gages, you may

wonder if there has been a backlash in the terms of stricker credit score requirements for the underwriting of new mortgages. There is a perception among many that banks and other lenders are either not lending at all or are only lending to those with the least amount of risk, i.e. near perfect credit scores.

Having a higher credit score sug-gests that the applicant is at a low-er risk of default because they have demonstrated an ability to handle their credit in the past. Lenders who are providing substantial capital

would, of course, prefer an applicant who is likely to pay it back. Lend-ers who underwrite FHA qualified loans have seen the minimum credit score raised from 580 FICO to a split 620/660 FICO. Today’s FHA eligibil-ity requirements are split between a 620 minimum score for applicants wishing to put more than 25 percent down and 660 if they wish to put less than 25 percent down. Subprime loans are considered any loan that wouldn’t conform to minimum re-quirements set by government spon-sored enterprises, “GSE.” An increase in the minimum score requirement for GSEs would therefore lock more individuals out of traditional financ-ing and push them into an expanded subprime category.

At the end of 2011, over sixty percent of Americans would meet the 660 minimum FICO score re-quirement for an FHA loan. The minimum threshold may have risen slightly but it has also resulted in an increase in the credit score now con-sidered to be a good credit risk. Many lenders used to consider 660 to be a good credit risk but that has risen to 720 for some lenders and as high as 750 for others.

Once applicants’ scores go above 720, better rates and terms are avail-able. Easy credit with little to no doc-umentation is long gone with lenders today more persistent on document-ing everything on the loan applica-tion and verifying that information. Loans are still being made but some people are holding off on applying because with the increased legislature

affecting the lending market, they are unsure or unaware of

the current lend-ing climate.

Recently a report by The Los Angeles Times

showed that the average successful loan applicant

across the country had a FICO score of 764. This suggests that

those who are buying homes are not your average credit risk individual but are, in fact, those with great to excellent credit. These individuals are able to command the best terms available by lenders and the lenders are more than happy to lend to such low risk individuals. In 2011, $404 billion was lent out to home owners, which is significantly down from the $1.4 trillion extended in 2006. The subprime market has dried up as banks and other lenders are not will-ing to make such risky loans as dur-ing the real estate bubble.

With today’s economic uncertain-ty, recent negative sentiment towards real estate, foreclosures and the indi-vidual’s confusion when it comes to financing has led to fewer people pur-chasing homes, which has caused the home ownership rate to drop to 65.4 percent at the end of 2011 from the high of 69.2 percent in June 2004.

While lending might be tight and underwriting documentation more intense, the vast majority of Ameri-cans still can qualify for mortgages based on their credit score today. The best option for potential homebuyers would be to speak with a loan officer about getting prequalified or preap-proved. It is better to discover where you stand financially before begin-ning the home search. Too many times individuals have gone looking for homes only to fall in love with one and then have to discover they don’t financially qualify for it. Help prevent the heartache and seek finan-cial guidance on what price range of homes to seek out when on a house hunt.
