board should take a greater role in setting school policy.

Wright plans to run for the seat currently held by Maxwell Cisne, now in his second term on the school board, who said Monday that although he has not made a firm decision, he is leaning toward not running for a third term this fall.

“I’m inclined to step aside,” said Cisne. “I’ve done about all that I can do.” Cisne said he thought Wright would make a

“great candidate.”

Wright said his interest in the Goochland school system spiked when he heard from other parents that the school administration was considering closing the Gifted Center, where his oldest daughter was a student.

“I can still remember that phone call,” said Wright. The gifted center was closed as part of last year’s budget cuts and Wright said that his oldest

“It’s not the same sort of rigor as before,” said Wright, who added that he used to brag to friends about the quality of Goochland schools when they asked why he didn’t send his children to private school. The Gifted Center was “a point of differentiation – see Candidates > page 2

Candidates continued from > page 1 what Goochland had to offer that other systems didn’t,” he explained. “I saw my daughter thrive there,” he said.

Wright said he has been thinking about running for more than a year because of the wranglings of last year’s budget cycle.

He said he thought some of the board members have become complacent and only one has children in the school system.

“The board should set policy and the administration should enact it,” said Wright, adding that the outward impression is that this is not happening.

Wright said one of his goals would be to bring greater transparency to the budget process.

“I’d like to see budgets presented as they are at the county,” he said. Information from the schools is not readily available, said Wright.

“You can’t find out who works in what position and what budget category. Wright said the classification of staff between administrative and instructional categories was confusing.

“If someone is working out of the central office on a day to day basis they are in administration,” he maintained.

Wright, who currently serves as President of the Goochland Rotary Club, said he has also been active in the Goochland Leadership Enterprise program.

“With the GLE I had the responsibility of putting on the education program,” he said.

Wright grew up in Henrico

Wright County, graduating from Hermitage High School and earned a B.S. in Accounting from Virginia Commonwealth University. He and his family moved to Goochland in1997.

He is currently vice president of the Goochland Education Parents Association (GEPA).

Wright said workshop meetings should be true workshops, without the inclusion of votes on action items unless absolutely necessary. He also decried the delay in issuing minutes of the meetings and questioned why the school board did not take up the county’s offer to use the administration building to meet, where recordings could be made of each meeting that could be quickly available to the public online.

Payne grew up in Goochland and Henrico, graduating from Varina High School, after which he completed an electrician’s apprenticeship program. He started working for Henrico in 1998 and was recruited by Mack Beaton to become a vocational teacher in 1999. He earned his Professional Teaching License and has been teaching at Virginia Randolph School in Henrico ever since.

He moved back to

Goochland in 2000, where he is a member of Perkins Baptist Church and is active in the PTA, having served as served as chairman of the community service committee for the GMS PTA. “Virginia Randolph ties into why I am running,” said Payne.

He described the vocational program there as one that takes in students who are struggling.

“I felt like I could make a difference,” he said.

Payne has been active in SkillsUSA, a partnership of students, teachers and industry working together to create a skilled work force. He is currently District II chairman of the program.

Payne said he approached the Goochland school system about taking part in the SkillsUSA program but was rebuffed.

“The school system is taking care of the kids bound for college, but for kids not in AP (Advanced Placement) how are we serving them?” he asked.

Payne said the school system also showed no interest in a junior ROTC program when he suggested it.

Payne said there are problems with the current school board.

“The school board should set policy, select a superintendent and make sure policy is carried out,” he said. “That’s not the way our current school board works. They are supporting what the superintendent puts forth.”

He also decried the atmosphere of mistrust between the supervisors and the school board.

“It seems like it’s us versus

Payne them,” he said.

Payne said he is not running against the Goochland Superintendent Linda Underwood but added he doesn’t understand her reasoning, criticizing her recent email to the leadership.

“A leader doesn’t say if you have another job prospect come and see me,” said Payne, referring to Underwood’s offer in the leaked email to help with letters of recommendation for Goochland staff that might want to pursue a job with another school division.

Payne also said if elected he would not stay on the board for decades. “I won’t be a career school board member,” he said.

The school board needs to regain the public’s trust, said Payne. “They want to know the money is being used wisely.”

The two new candidates for school board may soon be joined by others, according to some observers. Supervisor Ned Creasey, attending a GEPA meeting last week, said he expected every school board seat to be contested in the fall election.

EDUCATION: School Board and Academic News

School board approves Apple lease, health insurance renewal Ken Odor jodor@goochlandgazette.com

Three Goochland School Board members voted last week to approve a lease of Apple Computers from CCA Financial and to renew the schools health insurance contract for its employees with Anthem through The Local Choice Health Benefits Program of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Members Andrew Meng and James Haskell were not present.

The annual leasing cost for the Apple Computers amounts to $442,125.51 yearly for four years, starting July 15.

Premiums for the health insurance will rise by 4.1 to 4.6 percent. Premiums range from $487 per month for employees alone in the cheapest plan to $1,536 monthly for an employee plus family for the most comprehensive. Employee contributions are yet to be determined but under the current plan, a single employee’s premium is paid by the schools.

If family members are added, the employee bears most of the additional cost.

TLC representatives said

a 9-12 percent increase could have been justified.

The renewal becomes effective October 1.

In the public comment period, board members came in for criticism for not soliciting alternative bids for computer services.

“It would have been wise to solicit bids from other vendors besides Apple,” said John Wright.

Adeeb Hamzey agreed. He said he had not planned on speaking but was concerned about the lack of bidding on the computer lease.

Michael McDermott took the board to task for having so many action items (4) on the agenda for a workshop meeting.

Director of Secondary Education Tom DeWeerd made the case for the Apple renewal in his presentation, listing the advantages of the system.

DeWeerd said the schools did receive several bids from other Apple vendors and CCA’s was the lowest but did not consider switching to PCs. Apple requires less maintenance and is better suited to school use, said DeWeerd.

NEWS: What’s Going on in Goochland County

Neal, Rich wind up fourth terms Jim Ridolphi news@goochlandgazette.com

Twomembersof Goochland’s Planning Commission are completing four terms of service on the panel and ending eight years of service to their community.

District 3 representative Bill Neal and District 4 commissioner Bob Rich have terms set to expire at the end of March.

The two have witnessed many changes in the county since they took the posts, and have considered planning for the county in the best of times, and the not so good.

Neal said despite the ups and downs, it’s been a good run. “I have enjoyed my time on the commission. I have been fortunate to work with a lot of different people through the years.

Although we may have different opinions, everyone was dedicated, sincere, and did what they thought was right,” he said.

Neal noted some of the significant changes that took place on his watch. “Several changes were made during this time,” he said. “Some of the most noted was the major overhaul of the comprehensive plan in 2006.Also we revised a zoning ordinance, which included the addition

The latest financial data reduce the gap between the schools request and the county to $1,186,323, Underwood told the board.

If the supervisors should decide to use $332,000 from the VRS reserve fund that the

of the Forestry-ConservationOpen Space District. Changes in the Entrance Corridor and Village Center Overlay District to provided more uniformity but at the same time preserving the character of each overlay district,” Neal said.

Neal recommended a continued path of careful planning that should include several key elements. “Some items in our future planning should include establishing Urban Density Areas (UDAs), utilizing our interstate exits for commercial growth, and developing the Tuckahoe Creek Service District which includes West Creek for Mixed Planned Unit Development,” he said.

District 3 supervisor Ned Creasey presented Neal with a plaque of appreciation for his service on the commission, while District 4 rep Malvern R. (Rudy) Butler presented Rich with a separate recognition at last week’s Planning Commission meeting.

Rich headed Goochland’s Commission on the Future in 1994 before serving on the Planning Commission.

“I came to the PC after being Chair of the 1994/5 Goochland Commission on the Future, attended numerous PC meetings over the years as just an inquisitive public citizen, thus I was somewhat in tune with the planning function and staff when I came on board,” he said.

During his three terms as commission chair, Rich added his blend of efficiency and inclusiveness to the process. “I was Chair for three terms, during which time I strove to add some structure of thought and action to P.C. deliberations- and to reduce the length of late night meetings where possible,” he said.

“I encouraged all members to speak out on the issues, which ended up with, I think, a more inclusive and focused Commission membership,” he added.

During his tenure, Rich noted several changes in the process and a good number of challenging issues. He said, “establishing the staff planning function within the newly formed Community

Development Department was a good move.”

Planning Commission terms were also changed from four to two years during Neal and Rich’s service. “That gave flexibility to the appointment process,” according to Rich.

The pair faced numerous zoning challenges as Goochland grew and demands to keep Goochland rural increased. The recent recession has eased those requests, but Rich said the challenge is only stalled, not eliminated.

He said planning will always “be a critical element in what happens in Goochland’s development and will become more complicated as “growth” returns – not if, but when it does.”

schools have counted on and restore the $693,000 reduction, the gap is almost closed, leaving roughly a $161,000 gap.

“That budget is doable,” said Underwood, citing vacant positions and the option of keeping the two furlough days that were proposed to be eliminated.

“We could do that budget,” said Underwood.

But should that not be the case, Underwood again outlined possible cuts that might be made to reduce the schools budget, including staggered bus runs, staffing reductions, reducing the number of school days to 160 and cuts in athletics and extracurricular activities.

“Now we are tasked to literally tear it apart,” said

Chairman Ivan Mattox of the school system after hearing the proposed budget cuts, adding that he wakes at four o’clock in the morning worrying about budget cuts.

In other action, the board agreed to refer board member Raymond Miller’s idea of closing an elementary school to the facilities committee for a cost analysis.

OPINION: Editorial, Letters to the Editor

www.goochlandgazette.com

Schools take focus in budget debate By the time this print edition hits the street, the budget public hearing will have taken place and if this writer’s crystal ball is working, many, if not the majority of the speakers will have given their thoughts on the proposed school budget and how it should be funded.

Then next week Goochland citizens will find out what the wisdom of the five supervisors is when they are scheduled to approve the FY2012 budget.

It’s been good theater all the way down the road so far.

First the county told the schools last year they could expect almost $700,000 less from the county this time around compared to last year, based on declining revenues, mostly caused by lower assessments on real estate.

Then the school board told the supervisors they not only wanted that $700,000 but about $700,000 more for a reduction in furlough days and a math specialist.

Since then the two boards have been jousting with one another, riling up their constituents, posturing for reelection purposes and sending letters back and forth in a not so successful attempt to exchange information, while the numbers have improved so that the current gap between what the schools want and what the county has proposed is about $1.1 million.

At the most recent school board meeting Superintendent Linda Underwood once again outlined what some would call draconian cuts if the school budget must be reduced, following the supervisor’s Monday workshop meeting where supervisor

Andrew Pryor advocated at least level funding for the schools.

If the county goes that route and also lets the schools use some $300,000 in the VRS reserve fund, then, despite all the anguish and anxiety generated the problem will be basically solved.

In a manner of speaking.

But it hasn’t been pretty. As theater, it’s hard to know whether to call it farce or theater of the absurd. It’s almost like a choreographed dance where the two bodies crouch and snarl at each other, make a bunch of speeches about how the other side doesn’t cooperate and in the end make up and shake hands.

The bet here is that the supervisors will go the level funding route and also use some of the VRS reserve in the school budget.

And that’s what the Gazette believes should be done too, at this point.

But Lord have mercy, there has GOT to be a better way to do this next time around.

A more cooperative, sensible, let’s just go ahead and say it – a more mature, grownup way for the county to decide how to spend more than half the money in its annual budget.

Next year, the two boards, no matter who sits on them since there will be new faces after the fall elections, need to work together, not at odds with each other. And school administration needs to come up with a better way of providing information about its proposed budget to the county when requested.

The process is just too important to do it this way a third year in a row.

And the whys could go on and why can’t a constitutional officer criticize, constructively, another constitutional officer - good ole boys club – lack of gumption? Where was the supervision/management – read checks and balances – by the Board of Supervisors of Mr. Wolfrey in his execution of his duties and responsibilities to oversee the administration of the county operations? And we don’t need to go into the Board’s end run, without voter approval, to strip the Commissioner of Revenue’s office of the major duty and responsibility to conduct assessments.

If anything needs to be changed in Goochland, it lies with those elected officials who are charged with supervising the County. I sincerely hope “the voters will make the correct decision” come election time.

TCSD at the bottom of budget woes It is obvious to the casual observer that the basic issue that ties together the county and school budget woes is the Tuckahoe Creek Service District. The TCSD was a mistake in many ways. It was too expensive. (And still is, 3.4 million dollars is listed as a debt payment out of a 55.9 million dollar budget for the coming year; more than 10 percent.)

It was poorly managed.

The issues with the TCSD fall squarely on the shoulders of the supervisors of this county.

Without the problems of the TCSD, there would be more than enough in the budget for schools.

OPINION: Letters to the Editor

March 31, 2011 Can the supervisors fix the problem now? Probably not in time to resolve the school budget. But, one does have to wonder whether they have any thing to lose by not supporting the schools.

In any case, this is one individual who will vote to remove my supervisor if given a choice in the upcoming election.

Kurt Flaig Manakin-Sabot

How to avoid budget cuts Two weeks ago I wrote about the importance of our county library for the variety of services it provides to many citizens.

Now I want to suggest a way to avoid the 2 percent additional cut that will occur if the Board of Supervisors does not take proactive action.

It is obvious that our schools, fire and safety services, and the library cannot continue to take cuts. The past efforts to build programs and make advancements are quickly erased with ongoing deductions in funding.

The only answer I can see is a personal property tax increase.

I don’t like taxes any more than anyone else--I live on retirement income and haven’t had a raise in a couple of years, plus I own property in the county as well.

But sometimes for the good of the community, we must face tough decisions.

If the Board had made the 2-4 percent increase last year, as suggested by the county administrator, then they wouldn’t have to do it during this election year.

But they didn’t, so now they have an unpopular decision to make that can’t be put off any longer.

What the Board decides to do will send a clear message about how much they care about quality schools, library and fire and safety in our county.

Redistricting plan not yet final Many of us attended both District 1 redistricting meetings held last week. The voters voiced their concerns about the proposed plan and many good ideas emanated from these meetings including the posting of the audio (and later, the written) meeting minutes on the county website.

Between the two meetings, there were probably 50 questions asked. We learned that the supervisors are solely responsible for the redistricting proposal put before us.

We learned that the lines are being drawn on a purely political basis. We learned that this is NOT a final plan and it can still be changed.

Please attend any of the redistricting meetings on the calendar. It is important that we let our supervisors know that we want transparency and explanations. Ask questions. Remember, the final plan will be in place for the next 10 years; we want the lines to be drawn in a way that benefits the citizens of our county.

Library of Virginia Archivists to scan materials in Goochland for statewide Civil War Legacy Project Contributed Report news@goochlandgazette.com

Archivists from the Library of Virginia are working with the Virginia Sesquicentennial of the American Civil War Commission to preserve materials in a statewide online collection of original Civil War manuscripts.

A team of LVA archivists will be at the Parrish House at Grace Church in Goochland Courthouse on April 16 from 9-4 p.m.

The archivists will be scanning privately held Civil War–era materials for inclu-

sion on the web sites of both the Library of Virginia and the Virginia Sesquicentennial of the American Civil War Commission.

They seek to scan materials that reflect social, political, military, business or religious life in Virginia during the period of the Civil War and the early period of Reconstruction. These materials may include letters, pension materials, military passes, discharge papers, diaries, hand-drawn maps, and other Civil War– era manuscripts. Items must be owned by the individual

presenting the materials for digitization.

People are encouraged to bring original family materials to be scanned and included in the project. Scanned materials will be made available on the web via the Library of Virginia web site and the Virginia Sesquicentennial of the American Civil War Commission web site.

This event has been coordinated by the local Sesquicentennial Committee: Phyllis Silber and Bruce Venter from the Historical Society, Paul Drumwright

from the Goochland County Administration Office, Peter Gretz from the Goochland County Schools, and Marion and Richard Turner from Goochland.

Bring photos, letters, or any papers from the war era 1860-1870. Artifacts will be photographed on site by the society and returned. No appraisals can be made.

To schedule an appointment for a scanning session call the society at 804-5563966.

OPINION: Letters to the Editor

March 31, 2011

Letters continued from > page 7 the word ‘sheol’ in the Old Testament from “grave� or simply “dead� to the word “Hell.� This was an intentional mistranslation intended to frighten people into good behavior – as defined by the Church. The word sheol has no relationship whatsoever to a fire and brimstone Hell. It simply means “dead.�

In the New Testament Jesus speaks of Gahanna which the Catholics also translated as “Hell.� Remember Jesus, the teacher who used parables and stories to get his points across?

Well Gahanna was the town dump, which burned continuously from the trash and sacrificed carcasses dumped there. Jesus preached that damaging your soul was like burning in the town dump.

He never said that there was a

fire and brimstone Hell. The Catholic Church intentionally mistranslated ‘Gahanna Town Dump’ as “Hell.�

Revelations is a complicated, coded book written about the Romans; but it too has no support for the concept of an eternal Hell for humans who fail to believe the right thing. It’s full of allegory and like Jesus’ preaching it tells of the self-imposed torment of damaged souls. But it also makes clear that healing is possible for everyone, because on an eternal scale, love always wins over fear.

I was very angry with my parents and teachers and clergy when I learned the truth by thoroughly reading the entire Bible. I got over the anger with my parents because they too were indoctrinated with this lie (sins of the fathers) and passed it on as they were instructed to do. They never read the entire Bible, but told

me that Hell was in there and I would go there if I didn’t do the right things or believe the right things or perform the right rituals. My anger continues to seethe towards the clergy because they supposedly read and studied the Bible. They know the truth, yet they propagate the lie to keep people living in fear so that they might continue to control them. People do not need to be frightened into doing that which advances the highest vision of the self, or society. Fear is the exact opposite of love and it’s all about control.

The Catholic Church has begun to embrace the more politically correct interpretation of Hell as ‘eternal separation from God,’ but this is still a lie. The word “eternal� (aion – which means ‘age’) in the sense that we understand it is not used in any way to indicate an eternal punish-

ment. That translation too is a lie by the Church. Yes, of course all actions have consequences, but God will not separate Himself from us.

How could She? Few would deny that God is all that IS. Well, amazingly enough, that includes all of us. Why would God eternally punish God’s own self? What would be the point? In any event, simply look at Jesus’ teachings carefully and you can see that he is comparing the torment of a damaged soul to the burning of the town dump. He teaches that we are all ONE. He is One with the father, and we

www.goochlandgazette.com are his brothers. That which we do to or for another we do to or for ourselves – that is what Jesus taught. A message of love. Not the false message of fear that the Catholic Church invented and that self righteous, condescending fundamentalists propagate.

To the Catholic Church, I say that the sex abuse your repressed clergy committed to thousands of children pales in comparison to the psychological child abuse you committed and continue to commit to hundreds of millions of innocent children.

now. Apologize for the millennia of lies; the millennia of psychological child abuse, the millennia of fear and hopelessness; the millennia of misery and pain you have inflicted. Do this and proclaim that ‘We are all ONE’ and that ‘ours is not the only way; only another way.’ Do this and I’ll reconsider whether I would ever attend Catholic services again. Otherwise, the last thing Goochland needs is another church (but we should tax the ones we have).

“Mr. Bobby Herndon of the Goochland Animal Shelter was good enough to grant me an interview. After speaking with him I realized the best way I could help would be to get as much pet food as

Collegiate girls lacrosse off to good start and played with a lot of heart and led the team with a lot of energy and emotion,” Richards said. “She’s a great motivator for the team.”

Cape Henry coach Brooke Hummel felt her team performed well against a quality opponent. “They are very good, and we’re a young team, but I felt like we hung in there with them at points in the game,” she said.

Richards felt the Cougars showed patience on offense and improved their transition game, both good signs for the future. Coupled with the team’s experience and leadership, the coach is excited about the remainder of the season.

“This team is benefiting from the leadership on and off the field from the five seniors we have,” she said. “We’re young, but this team picks up quickly and that bodes well for the future.”

Cougars defeat Cape Henry for fourth win

BY JIM RIDOLPHI Special Correspondent

It’s still early in the season, but Collegiate’s girls lacrosse team is posting an encouraging start for the 2011 campaign.

Last week they knocked off Cape Henry Collegiate 167 at the school’s Goochland County sports complex.

The win upped the Cougars record to 4-1, and provided some encouraging signs for Coach Annie Richards.

“I thought we came out a little flat today, but the kids picked it up a lot,” she said.

“Once we were able to get some kids in there who provided a spark, the energy level was much higher,” Richards added.

Cape Henry fought off a determined Cougar offensive charge for the first minutes of the contest, but Meredith McGhee broke the ice when she scored on a break away early in the first half.

Austin Pruitt and Amanda Johnson both had four goal performances for the Cougars.

“Pruitt has the height,

Cadets sweep twin bill versus pair of foes Benedictine takes home double-header

BY JIM RIDOLPHI Special Correspondent

Two teams came to Hyman Field hoping for a victory against Benedictine last Saturday. Both left empty handed.

Middleburg Academy and Norfolk Collegiate both came up short against the Cadets (6-1) in double-header action

this weekend at The Abbey.

The Cadets began with an 8-0 pasting of Norfolk in a game where the Benedictine ace Andrew Woods pitched five no-hit innings.

“Andrew is off to a great start and is becoming the pitcher we’ve always felt he would be,” head coach Sean Ryan said. “He is going to keep us in just about every game he pitches. It’s exciting to see his development from a sophomore with potential to a senior who can be domi-

nant.”

The Cadets backed up the pitching effort with six runs in the fourth inning.

Ryan felt Middleburg had one bad inning, and that’s all Benedictine needed. “We’ve done a really nice job of taking advantage of mistakes by our opponents,” Ryan said. “It seems like when a team makes an error, we end up turning it into a big inning.”

Colton Konvicka and Michael Childress each had two RBIs in the victory.

The Cadets got a break between contests when Middleburg and Norfolk squared off against each other in an exciting game won by Middleburg.

The Dragons didn’t have much left in the tank when they faced off against the Cadets in the final game, and dropped a 13-2 decision.

Matt Mullen went three for three for the Cadets, who exploded for five runs in the second inning.

Ryan said it was a good

outing for his team who were bouncing back from their first loss of the season last week.

“Coming off a tough loss to Manchester, I was pleased that we were able to jump on Norfolk Collegiate and Middleburg and play from ahead,” Ryan said.

Highlights: Andrew Woods (B), 5 IP, 0 H, 7 K; Colton Konvicka (B) 2 for 3, 2 RBI; Michael Childress (B) 2 for 3, 2B, RBI. Records: Norfolk Collegiate 4-4-1; Benedictine 5-1

Middleburg................10010 — 2 6 3 Benedictine................3532x—13100 Goldstein, E. Wood (2), A. Wood (4) and Anderson; Snead, Millican (4), Keating (5) and J. Wood. W — Snead. L — Goldstein.

retchen Biernot and her daughter Kyra (3) hold some shelled black eye peas at Meadow Farm Saturday. They came with a church group for the spring event that features a look at what the farmers of more than a century ago are up to at this time of year. One of those things is preparing for the spring planting by shelling peas for seed, said Meadow Farm reenactor Rim Gardner.

Another attraction Gardner pointed out were the two-week old lambs, just learning how to nibble on straw when they are not nursing.

Rolfe Middle School Principal Andrew Armstrong named 2011 Henrico County R.E.B. Distinguished Leader Jodie Brinkman, principal of Echo Lake Elementary, named runner-up Contributed Report Andrew Armstrong, principal at Rolfe Middle School has been named the R.E.B. Distinguished Educational Leadership Award winner for Henrico County.

Armstrong is one of four principals in the metro Richmond area selected to receive the annual award. Jodie Brinkmann, principal of Echo Lake Elementary, was named runner-up.

The R.E.B. Awards for Distinguished Leadership seek to recognize principals who go beyond the day-to-day demands of their position to create an exceptional educational environment. Four principals will be publicly recognized, one in each school district of the metropolitan area (i.e. the counties of Chesterfield, Hanover, Henrico and the City of Richmond). Each award will consist of a $7,500 cash grant to the principal and an additional $7,500 for school projects chosen by the principal.

Armstrong received a bachelor’s degree from the University

Armstrong

Brinkman

of Richmond followed by a master’s degree in education at Virginia Commonwealth University.

He began his teaching career as a student teacher at Varina High School where he became a Spanish teacher and boys tennis coach. He moved on to teach Spanish at Manchester High School. In 2002, he returned to Varina High School as a teacher and administrative aide. From 2004-07, he served as the assistant principal at the school. In 2007, he was named principal of Rolfe Middle School.

“Making a school or any organization better requires the right people, and I am fortunate to have the team I have working with our kids every day,” said Armstrong. “This recognition is for our teachers, staff, students,

and their families.”

Armstrong intends to use the school initiative funds to establish parent resource centers in five of the largest apartment communities in the Rolfe district. Through the centers, he hopes to provide information, tutoring, and special events for the community.

“I am not surprised that Andy Armstrong received this recognition,” said Executive Director of Secondary Education Eric Jones. “He has been dedicated and committed to students, staff and the Rolfe community since becoming principal four years ago. The school has shown consistent growth and progress under his leadership.

We are lucky to have such

a strong advocate for children in Henrico County Public Schools.”

According to Henrico Superintendent Dr. Patrick Russo, “Andy and Jodie have a passion for their students and want to ensure that every child reaches his or her full potential. Their enthusiasm spreads throughout their schools to faculty and staff which ensures an engaging learning environment.”

Nominations for the award were submitted from the school community and from the public at-large. However, principals may not nominate themselves.

Nominees must be principals who: manage effectively to promote excellence in education; demonstrate leadership and exemplify commitment; inspire their students and are advocates for their school and faculty; encourage team spirit; foster cooperation between the school and the community; maintain dialogue with students, parents, faculty and staff; have been a principal of their school for at least 3 years.

The Award Selection Committee consists of the four district superintendents, representatives from the R.E.B. Foundation and The Community Foundation, and one at-large member.
