NEWPORT NEWS, Va. Newport News Public Schools have started distributing free meals to their students as some kids start in-person learning while others are at home under virtual schooling.
Starting Monday, the school division will give out meals twice a day at various locations throughout Newport News. This is all a part of an updated meal service plan.
In a 3-4 vote, the City Council denied the Newport News School Board's request for conditional use permits to install ground-mounted solar arrays at Saunders Elementary School and Hines Middle School.
