ROCKINGHAM COUNTY, Va. (ROCKTOWN NOW) – Community feedback is being gathered to shape the future of education in Rockingham County for the next five years. 

Rockingham County Public Schools announced on Monday that they are opening a survey to collect input from the RCPS community regarding the division’s 2024-2029 Comprehensive Plan.
