School Board to conduct committee review and announce auditorium grand opening

Amherst County Public Schools (ACPS) held a significant meeting on December 12, 2024, where key discussions focused on community engagement and the organization of school board committees.

One of the highlights of the meeting was the announcement of a community walk and tour scheduled for 5:00 PM in the Lehi Hall area. This event aims to foster connections between residents and the board of supervisors, allowing community members to engage directly with ongoing construction projects in the area.

Additionally, the school board addressed a request from board member Miss Justice for a comprehensive list of all school board committees. Britney, a staff member, compiled this list, which was shared with board members prior to the meeting. This transparency is intended to clarify the roles and responsibilities of various committees, ensuring that board members are well-informed and can effectively contribute to discussions.

The meeting also included a reminder about the upcoming grand opening of the auditorium, set for May 10. This event is expected to be a significant occasion for the community, celebrating the completion of a vital educational facility.

Overall, the discussions during the meeting reflect ACPS's commitment to enhancing community involvement and ensuring that board members are equipped with the necessary information to serve effectively. As these initiatives unfold, they promise to strengthen the connection between the school system and the residents of Amherst County.
