Stafford, Va. –– Officials named four new administrators to fill positions at schools in Stafford County.
Lisa Besceglia, a former special education teacher and assistant principal at Dixon-Smith Middle School since 2005 has been named the principal. She replaces Principal Steve Trant who opened the school in 2006 and has spent 36 years working within the school system, said Stafford County Public Schools spokeswoman Valerie Cottongim.

Not so with an odd tapping noise I heard for the first time the other day.
A bill proposed by Richard Anderson (Va–51, Lake Ridge, Prince William) requires drivers to stop for school buses loading and unloading children, and specifies a charge of reckless driving for those who fail to do so. Honestly, my Driver’s Ed instructor must have lied to me because I didn’t realize those flashing stop signs were optional.
Either way, though, I’m always happy to see children’s safety being ensured.
With school out for summer, let the PotomacLocal.com community calendar be your resource for fun-filled days!
