Henrico Schools hosting an informal conversation about planned Brookland elementary school

Henrico County Public Schools is holding an informal community conversation about a new elementary school planned for Henrico County’s Brookland magisterial district. The forum will be held August 6th at Libbie Mill Library and is open to the public.

In 2016, voters approved a bond referendum that included funding for the new school. It will be built adjacent to Holladay Elementary School, located near the Lakeside neighborhood at 7300 Galaxie Road. The new school is slated to open for the start of the 2021-22 school year.

While the school’s general location has been determined, planning for the facility is just getting started. The community conversation will include a brief presentation about the project site, the timeline for construction and some possible programming options for the school.

School division leaders will be on hand, including Beverly Cocke, the School Board’s Brookland District representative. Most of the time will be set aside for attendees’ questions, thoughts, and ideas.

A Spanish interpreter will be present.

The meeting takes place starting at 6:30 PM.
