Introduced by: Madison E. Marye | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY:

Duties of school boards. Requires all school boards to conduct public hearings prior to (i) consolidation of schools or (ii) in school divisions having 15,000 or more average daily membership (ADM), redistricting of school boundaries or adopting pupil assignment plans affecting the assignment of 15 percent or more of the pupils in ADM in the affected school. At present, those school divisions with 15,000 pupils or less are not required to conduct public hearings prior to consolidation. Therefore, only 13 of the Commonwealth's 133 school divisions, i.e., Arlington, Chesapeake, Chesterfield, Fairfax, Hampton, Henrico, Loudoun, Newport News, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Prince William, Richmond, and Virginia Beach, are required to conduct these public hearings.
