Meeting to address planned Brookland District elementary school

Table of Contents

Henrico County Public Schools officials will host an informal community conversation Aug. 6 about a new elementary school planned for the Brookland magisterial district. The forum will be held from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Libbie Mill Library and is open to the public.

In 2016 voters approved a bond referendum that included funding for the new school. It will be built adjacent to Holladay Elementary School, located near the Lakeside neighborhood at 7300 Galaxie Road. The new school is scheduled to open for the start of the 2021-22 school year.

While the school’s general location has been determined, planning for the facility is just getting started. The community conversation will include a brief presentation about the project site, the timeline for construction and some possible programming options for the school. School division leaders, including Brookland School Board member Beverly Cocke, will be present. Most of the time will be set aside for attendees’ questions, thoughts and ideas.

A Spanish interpreter will be present. Those who need an interpreter for a language other than Spanish or English should send a message to Val Gooss, educational specialist for ESL and world languages, at vpgooss@henrico.k12.va.us, or contact the Welcome Center at (804) 527-4604.

Libbie Mill Library is located at 2100 Libbie Lake East Street, Henrico.
