The Richmond School Board voted Monday to create its own request for design proposals for the new George Wythe High School, rejecting the city’s pre-existing RFP submitted by Mayor Levar Stoney in June.
The board voted 5-4 in favor of a proposal by Board Member Jonathan Young to request designs for a new GWHS that can accommodate 1,600 students, giving Superintendent Jason Kamras an Aug. 31 deadline to issue the request. They’re also calling on the administration to start work on redesigning both the Career and Technical High School and Woodville Elementary School by Oct. 31.

The community of Woodville is remembered an Angel it recently lost.
That was one of the words used to describe Armando âMandoâ Lopez by Porterville Church of the Nazarene Pastor Mark Pitcher and one of Rios former students at Woodville, Jesus Nunez, during a service remembering Lopez held at Porterville Funeral and Cremation Center on Monday.
Lopez, who returned to his hometown where he was a teacher for more than 25 years, unexpectedly died at the age of 51 on December 2. Lopez recently made the decision to possibly give up his position as a teacher by running for the Woodville School Board.
