(CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA) On Monday, May 3 at 5 p.m., the Charlottesville City Schools Superintendent Committee on Facilities Names will host its first public meeting to gather input in the naming of schools. The meeting will focus on Clark and Venable, the two oldest schools in the division and the first to be considered for review.
The Committee on Facilities Names was created by Dr. Rosa Atkins in the fall of 2020 to create a process for review and to guide the community through discussion and decision-making. The schools’ websites notes, “Like many communities, universities, and K-12 schools across the country, Charlottesville City Schools is aware that our schools’ names send a message to our students, staff, and community and should therefore reflect our values.”

CVS pharmacies across Virginia will add K-12 teachers to the list of those eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine. At Albemarle County and Charlottesville City schools, the majority of their vaccine plans are already done.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - Charlottesville City Schools will expand its face-to-face learning after the new year.
It will be a slow, phased return to school, but for some students in Charlottesville, January may mark the first time they step foot into a classroom in nearly a year.
“We want to get our students back, especially the youngest and the most vulnerable of our students,” said School Board Chair Jennifer McKeever.

CHARLOTTESVILLE (WINA) – The COVID metrics are going to have to be a lot better than they are now, even as the Charlottesville School Board passed scaled-back recommendations by Superintendent Rosa Atkins for in-person learning starting next semester. COVID Advisory Committee member and CATEC Director Dr. Beth Baptist cautioned the numbers are way up 3 weeks after Thanksgiving, and her sit-downs with the TJHD indicate they not only anticipate similar for the weeks following Christmas and New Years, but they will likely be worse. She says that’s because of the 2-week break and longer duration people will be spending in groups outside their households. So, along with the School Board passing Atkins’ scaled-back plan, they also agreed with Atkins’ recommendation that the board meet every 2 weeks to determine which direction to go as the numbers change favoring or deterring in-person school.
