Summary
The Henrico County School Board unanimously waived its one‑month notice requirement and approved naming the Deep Run High School auditorium the Cheryl M. Gibson Auditorium during its April 30, 2026, meeting.
The Henrico County School Board voted April 30 to waive its usual one‑month notice requirement and approved naming the Deep Run High School auditorium the Cheryl M. Gibson Auditorium.
Mrs. Shea moved to waive the notice period and to name the auditorium in honor of Cheryl M. Gibson; a colleague seconded the motion and the board approved it by voice vote, with Chair Irving announcing, “The ayes have it.” No board member requested additional discussion before the vote.
The board then invited Deep Run principal Dr. Fellows to speak briefly about the decision. Chair Irving closed the agenda item after the brief remarks.
The action was taken during the meeting’s unfinished‑business segment; the board did not attach conditions or an effective date beyond immediate approval. The board also handled routine consent items and multiple recognitions earlier in the evening.
The naming will be entered into the division’s records and reflected in facility materials; the board did not discuss funding, a dedication date, or signage details at the meeting, and those specifics were not specified in the public record.
