AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Kids & Families Watch: New KIDS COUNT USVI data (2019–2024) shows gains in unemployment (6% to 4%) and public school graduation (70.9% to 81%) plus better English Language Arts, but math scores slipped, dropout numbers rose (546 students), wages stayed 24% below the U.S. average, and housing pressures remain a concern. Public Health Recognition: The VI Department of Health Epidemiology Division earned national honors at CSTE in Boston, with Dr. Hannah Cranford winning a Rising Leader Award for applied epidemiology work. Traffic Safety & Health Impact: A St. Thomas hit-and-run on Veterans Drive left one pedestrian dead and another injured; VIPD says Michelle Donastorg faces vehicular homicide and involuntary manslaughter charges. Violence & Community Safety: Police reported multiple homicides over a short span, pushing the 2026 total higher, including killings on St. Thomas and St. Croix. Sickle Cell Awareness: The “Shine the Light on Sickle Cell” campaign is set to culminate around June 19 with events across the region, including the U.S. Virgin Islands. Medicare Abroad Reminder: A new explainer warns Original Medicare typically pays almost nothing for care outside the U.S. Virgin Islands and other covered areas, with only narrow emergency exceptions.
