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

The Henrico County Public Schools 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 classrooms. Multiple speakers urged the board to limit screen time, reduce reliance on digital devices, and consider alternatives such as physical textbooks and more hands-on learning. Concerns were raised about student distractions, mental health impacts, data privacy, and the effectiveness of educational technology. The board acknowledged these concerns and noted ongoing efforts to develop a guidance document over the summer to establish purposeful and balanced technology use with clear grade-level expectations. No specific procurement decisions or contract awards were discussed during this meeting. The board approved the consent agenda items and announced the next meeting date for August 13, 2026.
