ROANOKE COUNTY, Va. – Roanoke County School Board announced a number of new hires Thursday evening, including a role that garnered attention last month.
Back in March, Roanoke County Public Schools removed its supervisor of performing arts from his role before he even began following concerned citizens waving red flags on social media and emailing the superintendent about the new hire, Nathan Street. However, school officials didn’t disclose what the red flags were.
Now, a familiar face will come out of retirement after one year to fulfill the missing part. Rick Elliot was named the new supervisor of performing arts after he came back in an interim capacity to serve as the supervisor role. Previously a longtime band director at Hidden Valley Middle School, officials said Elliot will serve in a more permanent position.

A Virginia school district is investigating a social media post that shows an altered photograph of ex-cop Derek Chauvin kneeling on George Floyd’s neck but with the logos of two high school football teams covering their faces.
Supporters of the Cave Spring High School football team in Roanoke shared the meme over the weekend to celebrate a victory over a rival team from Hidden Valley High School, according to local media. Chauvin’s face in the image was reportedly covered by Cave Spring’s logo while Floyd’s face was covered by Hidden Valley’s logo.
