Stafford County, Va. — School officials have sustainable, green buildings in their sights as at least one Stafford County School Board member plans to head to Henrico County on Thursday to tour an environmentally friendly school.
The tour group that includes at least one School Board member and one member of the Board’s advisory committee will tour Glen Allen High School, which opened in 2010 as a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified building, said Stafford schools spokeswoman Valerie Cottongim.
The tour comes as county school officials are eying construction of a new Stafford High School, which will be located near the existing school site in Stafford County. When finished in 2015, the school could be Stafford’s first three-story school building.
The tour group will leave Stafford at 1 p.m. headed to Glen Allen High School, which sits at 10700 Staples Mill Road in Glen Allen.
