Virginia Randolph slated for $50-million upgrade using federal relief funds
The campus of Virginia Randolph, which serves students for whom traditional school settings were not effective or possible, should soon receive a $50-million upgrade.
Henrico County Public Schools received $78.3 million in its third round of federal relief funds to spend on COVID recovery efforts, and officials intend to spend the majority of it upgrading the school.
Prank finds its way into Henrico School Board meeting
The Henrico School Board was more than three hours into its agenda Aug. 26 when it arrived at the public comment portion of the meeting, and given the serious nature of its discussions to that point – COVID-19, a return to school, transportation issues, the school resource officer program and the adoption of pre-Labor Day start times in coming years, among others – perhaps board members could be excused for not paying much attention to the names of those who had apparently signed up to speak.
