HENRICO COUNTY, Va. — At the Henrico School Board’s second town hall about proposed redistricting Sept. 30, about 60 parents – a much smaller crowd than the previous town hall, but just as passionate – gathered at Highland Springs High School to discuss the controversial proposal.
While the first town hall saw heightened security, with each school board member escorted by a uniformed officer, Tuesday’s meeting included only a few school security officers monitoring the hallways, a change that was due to the smaller attendance, said school board chair Marice Shea (Tuckahoe District).
But many parents still had the same plea: remove the redistricting scenario that would shift more than 800 students between Quioccasin, Tuckahoe, and Pocahontas middle schools.
Many Tuckahoe Middle parents, and elementary school parents who are currently zoned for Tuckahoe, are vehemently opposed to the redistricting of 330 students from Tuckahoe to Quioccasin, with parents saying that petitions against the proposal have gathered almost 1,000 signatures.
