Dan Morrow
t the May 14 meeting of the Middleburg Town Council Dave Quanbeck, Middleburg Charter School Board President, formally introduced the school’s new interim principal, Miriam Hughey-Guy. Hughey-Guy, replaces Barbara Smith, who resigned in mid April after experiencing ongoing credential transfer problems, and later, visa issues that effectively barred her from re-entering the United States from Canada. Formerly principal of Barcroft Elementary School in Arlington County, HugheyGuy has long been associated with the movement to establish the Middleburg Charter School, which early on adopted the DaVinci curriculum she was instrumental in developing. Hughey-Guy has agreed to serve though the transition to a new, full time principal, which the school hopes to have in place by July 1. The first Monday in August will mark the beginning of the school’s 2015-2016 academic year. Both enrollment and enthusiasm, Quanback reported, remain high. Free Parking! Middleburg Chief of Police Panebianco reported to Council on May 14 that “starting later in the day” the Towon’s parking meters would be bagged for “free parking” Every single meter in the Town’s main shopping district meters is due to be bagged, and clearly marked FREE 2 HOUR PARKING. The town’s parking lots, however, will still be metered. Business owners, managers and staff were aked to park in the lots or in non time restricted areas. Officers will be marking tires to enforce the two-hour free limit After a suitable trial, according to Panebianco, his department, Town Staff, and key stakeholders in the community will evaluate the effectiveness of the new program. If it is successful it may serve as a long term fix for all the problems associated with keeping parking meters working effectively on the streets. Panebianco urged everyone to “please observe the time limits and don’t park your vehicle at a meter all day.” NEW parking!
