Richmond Montessori gets six months to improve after child runs onto busy road

The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) has issued a provisional license to Richmond Montessori School after a child walked off the school’s Henrico County campus and into traffic on Parham Road.
"A provisional license is a six-month license allowing the facility to continue to operate while they show substantial improvement to their program," Todd Reid with the VDOE said. "If a school does not show improvement over the six-month period, the license cannot be renewed."
Earlier this week, the VDOE cited Richmond Montessori School for four violations considered “high probability of harm: serious level of harm.”
