MANASSAS –What is a world-class education? And, is Prince William County Public Schools living up to that motto? 

That was the question posed at the March 18 meeting of the Prince William Committee of 100 at City Tavern in Manassas. 


An email from Prince William County School Board Occoquan Representative Lillie Jessie: 

There has been much questioning and speculation about my plans to run for the Interim Chair position on the Prince William County School Board. This letter is designed to end those questions. I never applied to become Chairman and have no desire to seek that position now. I am first and foremost the representative for the Occoquan District until December 31, 2019.


From the National Weather Service:

Lots of uncertainty with the upcoming #storm. Temps from the surface through several thousand feet in the atmosphere (where precipitation forms) will be right around freezing. A one degree shift one way or the other will make a big difference between cold rain or heavy wet #snow. pic.twitter.com/9D3fYutTm4
