Well- the talk of the bus stop is all about the redistricting plans for Henrico country schools. The initial redistricting meetings took place earlier this week and it generated traffic and crowds. Many parents are quite troubled about the proposed changes under the different plans.
Many concerns really relate to “change” as change always brings about resistance and uncertainty. But, with a community like Short Pump and its growth, change is inevitable. For example, one of the big concerns relates to the move of some neighborhoods from Pocahontas Middle School to Short Pump Middle School. Both schools are excellent in every regard but the thought of friends splitting up when they would not under the current structure just troubles some.
I have not yet had a chance to see the chances for the other side of Broad Street which I assume ar emore drastic.
Despite the meetings being held this past week, the committees are still accepting comments. I believe there may be some administrative disclosures (such as comments being identified with school level or neighborhood). You can visit the Henrico Country Public School website to see the proposed maps and email addresses for sending comments. Send your comments to the chairperson for the specific school level committee.
