Stafford County, Va. — Ferry Farm Elementary School in Stafford County is closed today after school officials say the building has no heat. Parents, students, and staff have all been told not to report to the school today.

The YMCA before and after school programs, as well as all after-school activities have been canceled.


Schieber, a Republican who represents Garrisonville on Stafford’s School Board, was unanimously appointed by the six sitting members of the Stafford County Board of Supervisors to replace former Board Chair and now Del. –Elect Mark Dudenhefer (R-Stafford, Woodbridge).

He’ll represent Stafford’s most suburbanized district until April 3, when Garrisonville District residents will head to the polls to decide who will complete the remaining two years of Dudenfeher’s term. The special election date was changed from April 10 to April 3 because the original date conflicted with spring break, said Stafford County Administrator Anthony Romanello.
