Dr. Amy Cashwell, Superintendent of Henrico County Public Schools, and School Board members presented district accomplishments and budget requests to the Board. Dr. Cashwell highlighted additions such as more instructional assistants, a family engagement position, and 52 new positions tied to a new Virginia Randolph campus.
