What's coming, what's not: schools in the west

By Shannon Sollinger

With the the demise of a compromise to get a high school built anytime soon in Purcellville, the May 28 Lovettsville meeting on what's happening with schools, old and new, in the west should get even more attention.

On the agenda will be the status of a proposed elementary school scheduled to open fall 2012, middle school scheduled to open fall 2015 and high school planned to open in fall 2017. That high school is planned to serve students in the Lovettsville area.

Supervisors Jim Burton (I-Blue Ridge) and Sally Kurtz (D-Catoctin), School Board members Jennifer Bergel (Catoctin) and Priscilla Godfrey (Blue Ridge), Lovettsville Mayor Elaine Walker and public schools staff will make a presentation and take questions.
