ROCKINGHAM COUNTY, Va. (ROCKTOWN NOW) – Rockingham County Public Schools are pulling out of a statewide school board organization that the majority of board members said has become too liberal.

The Rockingham County School Board voted 3-1 during last night’s meeting to vacate the Virginia School Boards Association at the end of the month. Ashley Burgoyne was not present and did not vote.

Board member Jackie Lohr cast the lone no vote, telling fellow members that bailing out of an association they don’t align with just takes another conservative voice out of the equation.

However, the rest of the board disagreed, choosing instead to leave the V-S-B-A for the conservative-leaning School Board Member Alliance.

More information is to come.
