Brentsville District School Board member Erica Tredinnick is defending her work for a firm tied to the Prince William Digital Gateway, saying she follows Virginia conflict-of-interest laws and will not apologize for “earning a living” in real estate development.
Tredinnick issued a written statement after an interview on Potomac Local News’ “PLN on YouTube,” where Prince William County School Board Chairman Dr. Babur Lateef downplayed concerns about her employment with LSI Communications.
“Prince William County Public Schools (PWCS) has appointed Brooke LeVecchi as principal of ‘Woodbridge Area’ Elementary School, effective January 5, 2026,” the school division announced. “LeVecchi brings more than 20 years of experience in education and a proven record of fostering academic achievement and building strong, inclusive school communities.”
“She has served as principal of Neabsco Elementary School since July 2023… Under her leadership, Neabsco Elementary achieved notable progress, including increases in SOL assessment scores across several content areas, an increase in math SOL pass advanced scores, and English learner student growth.”
Option A was ultimately approved by the Board, and it had a plurality of support from the nearly 13,000 survey respondents. More than 80% of survey respondents ranked Option A as their preferred calendar choice.
