RICHMOND â When Meredithâs son, who is transgender, started his freshman year at Henrico High School in 2017, Meredith emailed his teachers asking them to use his preferred name and pronouns. She said the teachers were more than willing to comply.
However, getting his name changed in the school s online system was a little more challenging, said Meredith, who asked that only her first name and her son s first initial E be used for privacy reasons. There were hiccups along the way â the school would not update his name in the system before it was legally changed.

LYNCHBURG â A former Lynchburg-area estate planning attorney and prosecutor pleaded guilty Friday in federal court to fraudulently wiring money from her elderly clients.
Cherie Anne Washburn, 45, of Lynchburg, was charged with 13 total crimes in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Virginia in an October indictment. In exchange for Washburnâs pleas to two counts of wire fraud and one count of making a false statement to a mortgage lender, prosecutors agreed to drop 10 of the charges against her.
The charges stem from a scheme against two of her clients where, using Washburnâs access as their power of attorney, she wired thousands or tens of thousands of dollars at a time in personal transactions for her own benefit, according to court documents.
