Henrico students show improvement, but still below most state averages in SOLs
Henrico students showed across-the-board improvement on Virginia’s Standards of Learning and other assessment exams during the 2021-22 school year but their overall proficiency levels remained below the state averages in reading, writing, math and history and were even in science, according to new data released Aug. 18 by the Virginia Department of Education.
GRTC to receive $11M for cleaner bus fleet
More environmentally friendly public transit is coming to the streets of Metro Richmond, thanks to an $11-million federal grant announced by U.S. Senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine.
GRTC will receive more than $10 million to replace 19 of its aging diesel buses with compressed natural gas buses, which release fewer harmful emissions, help improve air quality, and combat climate change.
