As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over Louisa County's city hall, the Board of Supervisors convened for their regular meeting on June 2, 2025. The atmosphere was charged with a sense of community and purpose as members gathered to discuss key issues affecting their residents.

The meeting commenced with a prayer, invoking gratitude for the opportunity to serve the community and a moment of reflection for those who protect it. Following this, the board swiftly moved through the agenda, adopting it unanimously, along with the minutes and bills, showcasing a spirit of cooperation among the supervisors.

A highlight of the evening was the recognition of two outstanding educators from Louisa County Public Schools. Scott McClary was honored as the 2025 Wallace L. Tingler MVP of the Year. His dedication as a technology specialist at Louisa County Middle School over the past 13 years has made a significant impact on students and staff alike. The resolution celebrating his contributions emphasized his commitment to fostering a positive educational environment and building meaningful connections within the school community.

Following McClary's recognition, Shane Robertson was awarded the title of 2025 William G. Thomas Educator of the Year.

His initiatives, including partnering with local nonprofits to provide reliable transportation for families in need, reflect his dedication to service and education.

The board's acknowledgment of these educators not only celebrated their individual achievements but also highlighted the broader commitment of Louisa County to support and uplift its educational community.
