Henrico County Public Schools (HCPS) announced that the School Board, following community input, removed two of seven proposed boundary adjustment scenarios and revised a third during its Thursday work session.
According to HCPS, the School Board decided to eliminate one plan that would have moved approximately 72 students from Ridge Elementary School to the newly rebuilt Jackson Davis Elementary School. Another plan would have shifted about 76 students from Holman Middle School to Hungary Creek Middle School by adjusting the feeder pattern for the Broad Meadows neighborhood. The Quioccasin Middle School scenario was modified to exclude the portion affecting students currently zoned for Pocahontas Middle School.
Board members expressed gratitude towards families and community members who provided input through town hall meetings and an online survey conducted by HCPS. They noted that public feedback significantly influenced the proposals. Maps detailing the five remaining scenarios are now available on the HCPS redistricting webpage. Additional tools, including a search function showing potential boundary changes’ effects on individual addresses, will be introduced soon. The site also provides information on timelines, enrollment, capacity, and schools affected by each scenario.
HCPS is offering multiple opportunities for feedback, including town halls on September 30 and October 7, a public hearing on October 23, online surveys in multiple languages, email submissions, and comments at upcoming Board meetings. The School Board will review the five remaining scenarios while considering updated 2025-26 enrollment counts at its October 9 work session.
