We received clarification on the legislative priorities listed on the Prince William school board website from Associate Superintendent Keith Imon:

The School Board has not yet approved the School Division’s Legislative Priorities for next year. Instead, the Board simply agreed to send the items in your article and on the School Board’s June 3 agenda to the VSBA for their consideration to include them in the VSBA’s legislative agenda. This is the time of the year that the VSBA seeks input from all of Virginia’s local school boards. The PWC School Board will begin the work to finalize the School Division’s Legislative Priorities in September and typically adopts them around October. Of course, the items submitted to the VSBA for its consideration will be part of the School Division’s recommendation to the School Board as part of that process, but in all likelihood there will be other recommendations as well.


Former Occoquan mayor Earnie Porta finished his own little free library, the “Porta Pagoda” in time for last weekend’s Occoquan Arts and Crafts show.

Porta created and named his little library using the Asian-inspired theme of his front yard rock garden.
