On July 1, 2021, the City of Emporia’s school board representatives had their voting rights stripped away by the Greensville County Board of Supervisors after the two municipalities could not agree on the contract renewal. Last week, city school board representatives Marva Dunn and Jacqueline Belk brought the matter to the Emporia City Council.

Emporia Finance Director Alicia Hargrove caught Dunn’s attention when she went through the budget. Hargrove announced a proposed increase in revenue from the city for Greensville County Schools.
