Here is a short notice I’m passing along to those Near West Enders who live in the county. Getting involved in your kids school is a great way to show that you care about them.

Henrico County Public Schools Superintendent Mr. Fred S. Morton IV has announced his retirement effective June 30, 2009. As a result, the Henrico County School Board with the assistance of a consultant is conducting a search for his replacement.  The School Board is also soliciting the public?s input, suggestions and help in its search for the new superintendent of schools.

The board will hold community input sessions at the following locations on Thursday, October 2, 2008 at 7 p.m.:

 Hermitage High School – Brookland District
 Henrico High School – Fairfield District
 Pocahontas Middle School – Three Chopt District
 Godwin High School – Tuckahoe District
 Rolfe Middle School – Varina District
