Henrico School Board approves agenda and consent items; showcases students, sets next meeting
Summary
At its Dec. 18 meeting the Henrico County School Board approved the evening’s agenda and a consent package by voice vote, heard student performances and highlights from multiple schools, and announced its next meeting for Jan. 8, 2026 at Newbridge Learning Center Auditorium.
The Henrico County School Board convened on Dec. 18 and approved the evening’s agenda after a motion recorded as moved by Mister Irvin and seconded by Miss Kinsella; the board adopted the agenda by voice vote. The meeting included student-led activities, performances and a video highlight showcasing innovation nights and community engagement across the division.
Superintendent Dr. Cashwell introduced students who led the Pledge of Allegiance and recognized visiting students from an elementary school. Christopher Mosley, the division's education specialist for performing arts, introduced choral students from Godwin High School under director Jacob Sanders Duvall, and the board recognized principal Lee Donovan. The board also heard recognition of Coleman Middle School’s esports program and student accomplishments in regional competition.
The superintendent’s "Henrico Highlight" segments included a Short Pump Middle School innovation night—where students displayed hands-on projects and course options to incoming families—and a Highland Springs High School "100 Man Challenge" video segment that emphasized community members supporting students. Miss Kinsella read the division mission statement during the meeting.
During the business portion, the board moved and approved the consent agenda (items announced as 9.01–9.12 in the agenda text; the motion language referenced 9.01–9.13, a discrepancy noted on the record). The chair asked for unfinished and new business and none were raised. The board announced a work session and meeting on Jan. 8, 2026, at 3 p.m. in the Newbridge Learning Center Auditorium and adjourned the meeting.
All motions recorded in open session were adopted by voice vote; no roll-call tallies were provided in the transcript. The public forum preceding business included speakers who raised facilities and redistricting concerns; staff follow-up was promised for those remarks.
