Henrico County Public Schools officials will host three virtual information and input sessions in November to discuss proposals to address specific school boundary situations. The Henrico School Board decided in September to discontinue the school division’s comprehensive redistricting process but is examining solutions for three specific priority areas of concern.
Each sessions for the three redistricting priority areas will be attended by some members of the board, who will listen to input on behalf of the entire board. To attend any of the sessions, visit https://tinyurl.com/redistricting-info-session.
The sessions are scheduled at the following times:
• Nov. 2, from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. – Elementary feeder patterns for Quioccasin Middle School
This proposal would realign the feeder patterns for Quioccasin Middle School, reducing from three to two the number of high schools that Quioccasin students attend. It also would reduce the number of middle schools that feed J.R. Tucker High School from five to four.
As part of the proposal, students at Maybeury Elementary School would attend Quioccasin Middle School instead of Tuckahoe Middle School. Students at Skipwith Elementary School, and Jackson Davis Elementary School who live north of Three Chopt Road would attend Tuckahoe Middle School instead of Quioccasin.
Colonial Trail Elementary School students who live in the Trails at Short Pump and the Crossings at Short Pump would attend Pocahontas Middle School and Mills Godwin High School instead of Quioccasin Middle School and J.R. Tucker High School.
Board members Marcie Shea (Tuckahoe District) and Micky Ogburn (Three Chopt District) will be present.
• Nov. 9, from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. – Addressing capacity issues at Colonial Trail and Rivers Edge elementary schools
This proposal would address capacity issues at Colonial Trail and Rivers Edge by moving some students to other schools. In addition to Colonial Trail and Rivers Edge, other schools that may be affected are Kaechele, Longan, Springfield Park, Twin Hickory and Echo Lake elementary schools.
Board members Kristi Kinsella (Brookland District) and Ogburn will be present.
• Nov. 17, from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. – Effectively using additional capacity at Holladay Elementary School
This proposal would move some preschool students from other schools to Holladay Elementary School, which will double its capacity when a current construction project is completed. The moves would free up instructional space at Crestview, Dumbarton, Johnson, Lakeside, Longan and Echo Lake elementary schools.
Kinsella will be present on behalf of the board.
