Washington County VA School Board considering changes to grade structure

The Washington County Virginia School Board is considering a major shakeup to its grade structures. Currently, the district operates pre-K through eighth-grade facilities, but a new proposal under discussion would separate students into designated kindergarten through fifth-grade elementary schools, and sixth through eighth-grade middle schools. Superintendent Jerry Boyd says a decision could come as early as May or June. If approved, the district plans to give parents a one-year notice regarding upcoming rezoning and enrollment changes. Boyd noted that while research supports both structures, a dedicated middle school system could offer higher-quality opportunities for all sixth through eighth graders across the county. The board is still actively seeking community feedback before making a final vote.

Some workers, vendors and performers at Sullivan County Fair still awaiting payment

Several workers, vendors, and musical performers from the inaugural Sullivan County Fair say they still have not been paid, two months after the event wrapped up. Organizers blame significantly lower-than-projected attendance for the funding shortfall, leaving many who fulfilled their contracts empty-handed. Fair organizer Ralph Strahorn emphasizes that the event was put on by Sullivan County Tennessee Fair Inc., a private nonprofit completely independent of the county government, meaning no tax dollars are available to cover the gap. Strahorn says legitimate payment obligations are being processed. In the meantime, options presented to affected partners include accepting a long-term monthly payment plan or waiting for future fundraising efforts. However, facing a prolonged lack of communication, some workers say they are now exploring legal options to secure their missing pay.

Questions grow as energy company merger could close power plant near St. Paul VA

Questions are growing over the future of a major Southwest Virginia employer. U.S. Representative Morgan Griffith is urging Governor Abigail Spanberger to protect the Virginia City Hybrid Energy Center near St. Paul. Local leaders fear the proposed $67 billion merger between Dominion and NextEra Energy could lead to the facility’s closing. The St. Paul power plant currently employs nearly 160 people and generates more than $8 million in annual tax revenue for the region. The SCC staff recently recommended rejecting the massive utility merger, while state commissioners are not expected to make a final decision until next year.
