Update for October 2, 2025

We will be streaming our school board meeting tonight on Facebook as we have done in the past. The stream will remain archived/active for 30 days prior to it being removed. We will still work on getting the stream switched over to YouTube for future meetings.

Plan Moving Forward - Streaming and Archiving of School Board Meetings:

Previously, our School Board meetings were both hosted and archived through Facebook Live. Facebook has changed their archiving policy. Now all new Facebook Live videos are automatically deleted from Facebook pages and profiles after 30 days.

We will be moving this service to our Google Workspace accounts through YouTube, which allows us to host the videos indefinitely. The School Board meetings will still be available to the public and live. However, we will still be linking to them on Facebook for public access.

Tomorrow (Wed, Aug. 6, 2025) is the first day of school for Augusta County. This means that school buses will be on the road.

-Car drivers, please give our school buses lots of room to run their routes and pick up students.
-Obey the stop arms to enable students to safely load and unload.
-Bus drivers will be getting acclimated to their routes. Please be at your stop in advance in case they're running early, and be patient if they're running late.
-Route timing and consistency will improve over time.

And lastly, be kind! We appreciate the service our bus drivers are providing our students.
