Henrico County School Board - Monthly Meeting - June 11, 2026

The Henrico County School Board held its monthly meeting on June 11, 2026. The meeting included recognition of staff and students, including graduates and business partners supporting career and technical education. A significant portion of the public forum was devoted to community concerns about the extensive use of technology and screen time in schools, with multiple speakers urging the board to limit device use, enhance oversight, and reconsider contracts related to educational technology. There was discussion about the upcoming development of a guidance document for balanced and purposeful technology use in classrooms, grounded in research and Virginia code requirements. The board approved the consent agenda, including updates to the student code of conduct, which addressed technology use policies and disciplinary measures. The board plans to continue work on technology use policies with input from stakeholders and scheduled a work session for August 13, 2026, to further address these issues.
