What does the future hold for Chesterfield County Public Schools?

A series of forums featuring dynamic speakers will offer information, pose questions and seek answers. Invited to attend these forums on the future are community members, business leaders, parents, teachers, students and school administrators.

Taking place 7-9 p.m. on Wednesdays this fall, the forums begin the process of updating the strategic plan of Chesterfield County Public Schools.

Admission to the forums is free; reservations are not required.

The schedule of speakers is available on the school division’s website, www.chesterfield.k12.va.us. The series kicks off on Oct. 20 with a presentation titled “A World Without Boxes.” A brick-and-mortar school isn’t the only place to learn. Online classes made it possible for Joel Erb to complete high school while running the marketing agency he founded when he was 15 and continues to lead today.

Welcome Back to School!


I would like to welcome you and your family to a brand-new school year filled with opportunities and possibilities.

Academic success for every student is the top goal of our school system, and we are pleased that every Chesterfield school is again fully accredited.

Our teachers, staff members and community partners worked hard to prepare for the first day of school. When our 59,000 students entered their classrooms on Sept. 7, they were surrounded by positive energy and support. Our expectations for our children, our schools and our community are high.

Success depends on effort, and I am confident this will be a successful year if we all work together and live our core values of respect, responsibility, honesty and accountability.

Thank you for your support — have a terrific school year!
