HENRICO COUNTY, Va. — Henrico County Public Schools (HCPS) has announced a calendar update due to Virginia's upcoming special election.
Because several dozen Henrico schools are used as polling places, HCPS will be closed on Tuesday, April 21.
"Unlike times of inclement weather, the Virginia Code does not recognize remote learning to offset instructional time lost due to election day closures," the school system said.
Because of the April 21 closure, HCPS will convert the planned early dismissal day on Thursday, March 19, to a full day of learning.
If any additonal snow days or emergency closures are required this school year, HCPS will use remote learning to make up for lost time.
