Full Message/Details
Dear Families, Faculty, and Staff,
We hope you are well. We are writing to provide you with an update on the boundary adjustment process.
At its meeting last night,
the Hanover County School Board unanimously approved the Green Scenario for boundary adjustments following months of community engagement, collaboration, and research. The School Board boundary adjustment workgroup recommended the Green Scenario to the full Board at its March work session and business meeting. Prior to last night’s vote, the School Board held a dedicated boundary adjustment public hearing and received an overview presentation from MGT, the third-party vendor that assisted throughout the process. The presentation can be found
on BoardDocs.
As a reminder,
the Board previously voted to delay implementation of the initial boundary modifications until the fall of the 2026-27 school year. This means that
our current school boundaries will remain unchanged for the 2025-26 school year.
A summary (it does not include all of the approved changes) of the Green Scenario is below:
- Atlee Manor, Craney Island Farms, and Craney Island Estates will move from Cool Spring ES to Washington-Henry ES first, beginning in the 2026-27 school year. Giles will move from Cool Spring ES to Washington-Henry ES beginning in the 2027-28 school year with the opening of the replacement Washington-Henry ES.
- An area west of Route 301 near Pearson’s Corner ES will move from Rural Point ES to Pearson’s Corner ES.
- An area east of Route 301 that is south of Totopotomoy Creek and is near Studley Road will move from Washington-Henry ES to Rural Point ES.
- An area south of Meadowbridge Road will move from Washington-Henry ES to Mechanicsville ES.
- Middle and high school boundaries are adjusted to align with the updated elementary school boundaries to create clean feeder patterns.
The recording of last night’s business meeting, which includes the vote, can be found
here (the MGT presentation and public hearing begins at 1:43:00 and the vote begins at 3:08:15).
More detailed information regarding the boundary adjustment implementation process will be shared soon.
Thank you.
