Suzanne Youngkin will be joining psychologist and author Dr. Jonathan Haidt to talk about the risks of technology with younger generations.

The Harrisonburg City School Board approved the division’s capital improvement plan in a 5-to-1 vote during Tuesday night’s work session.

This year’s conference will include readings and presentations from 50 poets and scholars at various locations across JMU’s campus. 

Harrisonburg City Public Schools Communications Coordinator Kelly Lineweaver confirmed the decision in an email to Harrisonburg High School and Rocktown High School parents, as well as news media, Monday evening. 

They join the School of Natural Sciences and the Bonnie Forrer and John Harvey Rhodes School of Arts and Humanities.

The event honors the heroic first responders of 9/11 by symbolically retracing the steps they took in service. Students enrolled in MTC’s Emergency Medical Technician and Criminal Justice classes will participate in the climb. 

Supplementary materials were back on the agenda at last night’s Rockingham County School Board meeting.

Richards added that the school division recently partnered with the Sandy Hook Promise Foundation and parents will soon receive information on the See Something, Say Something formal system.

School spokesman Chad Saylor says initiatives like this are always appreciated because they enable JMU to provide training and supervision to a resident as well as increase the number of clinical hours that the center can provide to the student body.
