13 apply for 3 school board seats in Roanoke


Thirteen Roanokers have applied for three open seats on the Roanoke School Board, including educators, attorneys, a doctor and an assistant city manager. This is the largest number of applicants the city has received since 2017.
The board is guaranteed to gain at least two new members on July 1. Laura Rottenborn, chief of the Western District of Virginia’s civil division, did not reapply for a third term. Dick Willis, an industrial digitization leader for Trane Technologies, is ineligible for reappointment because he is serving his third and final term.
The third seat is held by attorney Mark Cathey, who has served on the board since 2015 and has reapplied for a third term. Cathey was previously the board’s vice chair and chair.

In-person instruction to increase for Roanoke's elementary students, some secondary


Elementary and certain secondary students can attend school in-person four days per week beginning next month, the Roanoke School Board voted Wednesday.
Following a fraught discussion over whether the district could have done even more, the board voted unanimously to bring back all elementary students and voted 6-1 to bring back certain middle and high school students four days per week. Laura Rottenborn was the sole dissenting vote because she wanted more secondary students to attend four days.
“I recognize that it’s not black and white. I think there are lots of countervailing considerations,” she said. “But I would prefer a plan that at least maxed out our capacity in our schools within the guidelines. I don’t think we’ve turned over every stone to do it, and my heart is truly broken for the kids in our district who are genuinely suffering. It hurts.”

Roanoke School Board postpones capital improvement plan vote over equity concerns


The Roanoke School Board decided Tuesday to postpone a vote approving the school district’s 2022-26 capital improvement plan due to lingering questions about the selection process and concerns that crucial projects may be excluded. The board will vote at its next regular meeting on March 8.
Multiple school board members said they wanted to see improvements at Westside Elementary included in the plan. They also asked questions about the selection process, concerned other needs may have been missed.
“I just don’t want to miss anything in terms of school needs,” Natasha Saunders said.
The capital improvement plan is a five-year list — in this case, from fiscal years 2022 to 2026 — that maps out capital projects and appropriate funding sources.
