Summary

The Henrico County School Board unanimously waived the one‑month notice requirement and approved naming Deep Run High School's auditorium the Cheryl M. Gibson Auditorium during its April 30 meeting.

The Henrico County School Board voted April 30 to waive the standard one‑month notice period and name the auditorium at Deep Run High School the Cheryl M. Gibson Auditorium.

Mrs. Shea moved that the board "waive the 1 month notice period to name or rename a subpart of a school or school facility and name the auditorium at Deep Run High School the Cheryl M Gibson Auditorium in honor of Cheryl Gibson," and the motion was seconded by Mrs. Kinsella. Chair Irving called for the ayes, and the board approved the waiver and the naming by voice vote.

The motion, including the waiver of notice, establishes the auditorium's new name immediately as recorded in the board's April 30 action. Dr. Cashwell and Deep Run Principal Dr. Fellows were present for the announcement; Dr. Fellows was invited to offer brief remarks but the transcript records only a short response from the principal.

The board did not provide additional background in the meeting record on Cheryl M. Gibson's role or the reasons for the expedited naming. The board's action consisted of the motion, a second, and a voice vote recorded as "ayes," with no amendments noted.

The naming follows the board's approval process as used for facility dedications; any further administrative steps or signage timeline were not specified in the meeting record. The board moved on to new business after the approval.
