Joint committee adopts 2025 meeting dates, revises work plan and substitutes congestion item with traffic update
Summary
The Loudoun County joint committee approved three 2025 meeting dates, revised its 2024–25 work plan to remove a defunct "Congestion Must Go" campaign, and substituted a staff traffic‑congestion update to a later quarter; motions passed by voice vote.
The Joint Committee of the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors and Loudoun County Public Schools voted on March 24 to adopt meeting dates for 2025 and to revise the committees27 work plan, including substituting an inactive campaign item with a broader traffic‑congestion update for schools.
County Administrator Vincent Jones presented the proposed 2025 meeting dates — June 2, September 15 and November 17 — and asked the committee to adopt them. "I move that the committee adopt the dates for the joint board of supervisors and school board committee meetings for the 2025 calendar year," a committee member moved; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
The committee also considered revisions to the 2024–25 joint work plan. Staff recommended removing "Congestion Must Go," explaining LCPS no longer actively supports that campaign and proposing a substituted item that would report on traffic and congestion concerns at specific school clusters. Committee members discussed timing and placement of several items, including land‑matrix updates and a speed camera enforcement program in school zones. A motion to approve the work plan updates, substituting a "congestion and traffic update for various identified schools" in place of the prior item and moving the LCPS land matrix update to early 2026, was made, seconded and approved by voice vote.
An amendment requested by a supervisor set the replacement congestion/traffic update for November instead of the next quarter; the amendment was accepted and incorporated before the committee vote. Committee members emphasized staff cooperation to address specific traffic concerns, including school cluster intersection and signal issues that may require coordination with VDOT and other county departments.
Why it matters: the committee sets a coordinated agenda for county and school staff work between the two governing bodies. The revisions reprioritize how the joint committee will monitor and receive updates on traffic and school‑zone safety projects, and they schedule several other topics across 2025 and early 2026, including presentation of the Loudoun County Advisory Commission on Youth report and items related to student activity fees and unpaid meal debt.
Votes and formal actions recorded in the meeting included unanimous voice approvals of the meeting dates and the work plan updates; committee members asked staff to prepare the board‑level materials needed for each designated meeting.
Ending: Staff and committee members said they will return with more detailed updates on traffic‑related school projects, and both boards will consider the committee27s recommended additions and deletions during their own approval processes.
