Albemarle County charter school holds public renaming meeting By Steve Rappaport | February 22, 2021 at 7:45 PM EST - Updated February 22 at 10:47 PM
ALBEMARLE COUNTY, Va. (WVIR) - The list of possible names for Albemarle Countyâs newest charter school will get cut from 10 to three after a community public meeting Monday night.
Sixty percent of more than 600 replies to an online survey completed last week showed a preference to keep the name of Murray Community School.
This is the latest review of a county school named after an individual.
âWeâre a unique schoolâ said committee chair Stephanie Passman. âWe have a great mission of what we do within our school division and thereâs been a call for not having to explain our name, so maybe having something in the name that gives a sense of what it is that makes us unique and special in our school division.â

ALBEMARLE CO., Va. (WVIR) - Educators across the nation were tasked with the ultimate challenge this school year: teach during a global pandemic. Several educators from Albemarle County Public Schools said they’re surprised at how much they’ve learned about teaching during the first half of the school year, despite the obstacles that come with mostly virtual learning.
“Just like adults who are learning to work from home these days, our students have had that same learning curve, along with teachers, of ‘How do we use all of the technology that is available to us?’” said Stephanie Passman, head teacher of the district’s Murray Community Charter School.
