ROCKINGHAM COUNTY, Va. (ROCKTOWN NOW) – The Rockingham County Board of Supervisors and School Board will meet Wednesday in a joint closed session. 

The meeting was announced on the County’s Facebook page on Tuesday, and will start at noon, before the Board of Supervisors reconvenes at 3 p.m. for their regular meeting, which will be an open session. According to the agenda, the sole item being considered is the acquisition of real property for a public purpose, or of the disposition of publicly held real property.

The nature of the property acquisition is unclear until either body discusses the matter in open session. However, the Rockingham County School Board recently convened a work session with county officials to discuss the school division’s place in the comprehensive plan, including the possible need to construct a new elementary school depending on housing growth estimates over the next several years.
