MANAGER’S COMMENTS

PUBLIC COMMENTS

 

Bruce Richardson, a Fairfield District resident and member of East End Communities United for Change, read a letter addressed to Fred S. Morton, IV, Superintendent of Schools, pertaining to conditions at Fairfield Middle School.  He expressed concerns about the recent transfer of funds by the School Board from a pending renovation project at Fairfield Middle School for school renovation to design projects for field houses at Deep Run and J. R. Tucker High Schools.

 

Brian Wenk, a resident of the Brookland District, raised questions and concerns that he felt had not been addressed when he spoke during the public comment period at the November 27, 2007 Board meeting.  These included the method of sewage disposal at Elko Middle School, the time period for constructing the middle school, whether State law allows the construction of a school without a sewer system in place, and whether the County requires permits and inspections for new school facilities.

 

Rodney Booker, an eastern Henrico County resident, representative of East End Coalition for Change, and Vice-President of the Parent Teacher Association (PTA) at Arthur Ashe Elementary School, expressed concerns paralleling Mr. Richardson’s regarding the recent movement of funds from the Fairfield Middle School renovation project to field house designs at Deep Run and J. R. Tucker High Schools.  He also commented on the present level of equipment, staffing, and security features at Arthur Ashe Elementary School.

 

William Spencer, a County resident, opined on the need for principals and school staff to communicate better with students and get to know them on a first name basis.  

 

Lynette Goode, a County resident, commented on the need for parents to become more involved with their childrens’ schools and PTAs, address the School Board on issues of concern, and be aware of the administrative process followed by the Board of Supervisors in allocating funds that are then distributed by the School Board.

 

Makon Fletcher, a Fairfield District resident and co-founder of East End Communities United for Change, remarked on the previous speaker’s comments and how she as a parent has stepped up and become more involved in her child’s school and issues pertaining to Fairfield Middle School.
