Henrico County Public Schools (HCPS) has announced that the school board is seeking community input on potential adjustments to school boundaries. To facilitate this, three town hall meetings will be held to present scenarios and gather feedback before finalizing any changes.
According to HCPS, families, staff, and community members are invited to participate in these town hall meetings scheduled for September 18 at J.R. Tucker High School, September 30 at Highland Springs High School, and October 7 at the ACE Center at Hermitage. Interpretive services will be provided in Spanish, Arabic, Dari, and sign language to accommodate a diverse audience.
In addition to attending the town halls, community members can submit feedback through an online survey, via email, or during upcoming School Board meetings. HCPS has posted a comprehensive overview of the redistricting process on its website. This includes proposed timelines, enrollment and capacity data, scenario details, and maps of affected schools.
The board is currently reviewing seven preliminary scenarios designed to address current and projected enrollment issues and adjust feeder patterns. These scenarios involve elementary schools such as Jackson Davis and Ruby F. Carver; middle schools including Quioccasin and Hungary Creek; and high schools such as Douglas S. Freeman, Henrico, and J.R. Tucker. Feedback will be considered through November with final boundary decisions scheduled for December 18.
