CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - Albemarle County Public Schools are getting ready to welcome many students back to the classroom.
It’s been a while for many students, some of whom have not had an in-person learning day since March 2020, but a 6-1 vote by the school board makes it official: the county is moving to Stage 4 on March 15.
“We have a directive from the Governor of Virginia to make face-to-face instruction our primary objective, and that’s what we’re doing,” said Superintendent Matt Haas, who recommended the move last week.
Hearing set for arguments about attempted murder charge
The Leavenworth Times
A new hearing date has been set for arguments concerning the possible re-prosecution of a man for an attempted murder charge in Leavenworth.
The hearing is set for Feb. 19 in the case of James D. Thompson.
Thompson, 34, previously was charged with attempted first-degree murder in connection to an August 2015 shooting in Leavenworth. During a 2017 trial, the charge of aggravated battery was presented to jurors for consideration as a lesser included offense to the attempted murder charge. And jurors convicted Thompson of the aggravated battery charge instead of attempted murder.
A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for a man charged with conspiracy to commit murder in Leavenworth.
The hearing for Jeffery M. Samulczyk is scheduled for Feb. 24 in Leavenworth County District Court. The date for the hearing was selected Friday as Samulczyk appeared in the court.
Samulczyk, 37, is charged with conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and interference with law enforcement.
The charges are connected to the stabbing death of Joshua Gilson, who was found dead Oct. 30 at his Leavenworth home.
Gilson’s wife, Alexandra, faces a charge for allegedly killing her husband.
Evidence will be presented during the Feb. 24 preliminary hearing, and a judge will determine if there is sufficient evidence for the case against Samulczyk to go forward.
Aurora City Council member Juan Marcano had organized a virtual press conference with homeless advocates, service providers such as McKittrick and elected officials from metro Denver, who all criticized Coffman who was also present, albeit muted and with his camera off. While Mayor Coffman may have had initial purposeful intentions.you cannot just dip your toe in and out of poverty or homelessness. Homelessness is not a vacation for these individuals, said Eva Henry, an Adams County commissioner.
Coffman had decided to spend a week living homeless on the streets because he didn t feel like he had a handle on the issue, he d explained.
