After an hour in closed session RPS SB motions to appoint Anne Holton to 6th district rep. Jafari has concerns about outside influence of non board members and moves to rescind all involvement. His motion can’t be voted on while there is a motion on the floor. 🛋️

RPS announced the candidates who have applied to replace Dr Shonda Harris-Muhammad’s vacant 6th district School Board seat. All star list of choices in my opinion. 🛋️

Good evening, the #RVA Public School Board is meeting live right now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vq46... We're discussing the new Virginia Dept of Education accountability system. The goalposts have been moved but we're making progress on improving student outcomes!

First RPS Board meeting of 2026 and Percival nominates Shavonda Fernandez as SB chair and this passed unanimously for all those in attendance 🛋️

Timeline for application and appointment of 6th district SB representative to replace Dr Harris-Muhammad 🛋️

I was unable to tweet the last school board meetings due to family obligations, but I didn’t wanna hop on and say Dr Shonda Harris Muhammad has resigned her position on the RPS School Board to take a superintendent position in Virginia. 🛋️

#RVA ‘s first Civilian Review Board meeting is tonight at 6PM! It’s being held on the 5th floor of City Hall or you can access virtually via Microsoft Teams: www.google.com/url?q=https%... 🧜‍♀️

School Board business meeting tonight (reminder no public comment & no voting - that’s tomorrow). I’ll tweet anything exciting I hear. See the agenda 🛋️:

The Richmond Ed Fund is partnering with #RVA Public Schools, the City of Richmond, Feed More, and community organizations to launch The Love Market. This mobile pop-up market brings fresh groceries directly to the families of our students. rpseducationfoundation.networkforgood.com/projects/262...

Just tuned in and we’re on the first public comment speaker. He is giving a proposal to prevent threats to the city’s water supply and honestly it’s a little above my head. It involves data center equipment to the city? I’m not clear on how this helps. 🧜‍♀️

Alright we're back in action on #RVACouncil meetings with a meeting tonight at 6PM. There are 9 people signed up for public comment with a variety of issues from across the city ranging from affordable housing to patriot front signs to water supply concerns. #RVA 🧜‍♀️

An amazing school advocate that I am lucky to know! 🛋️

Back at it for day 2! RPS school board meeting- tonight is the meeting with public comments and voting. Follow along. www.youtube.com/live/PnyUAtQ... 🛋️

Code refresh AMA with Kevin Vonck happening right now on r/rva! 🛋️ www.reddit.com/r/rva/s/rduc...

Alright it’s that time again…. #RVACouncil is tomorrow. 4PM is informal and 6PM is formal so let’s check out the agendas! On informal is consideration for the civilian review board appointments. 53 people applied for 4 spots on the board. #RVA 🧜‍♀️

Happy 2026 Property Assessment Season! I have been playing with the new website and discovered a really handy search feature that may help you compile data to support an appeal if you think your appraisal is out of whack with the rest of the area.🧜‍♀️

So the interesting thing about Nova schools trans policies is that #rva public schools need $40 million+ a year for building maintenance and only get $2.5 million and we're not the only Virginia school system in this position.

Happy First day of school for RPS preschool -5th, 6th, and 9th graders! (7-8, 10-12 start tomorrow) 🛋️

Tonight is the only RPS Board meeting of July. I’m going to try and hit the highlights for you - follow along on YouTube here: www.youtube.com/live/uzbqjP1... 🛋️

A city wide newsletter?? Okay Danny! 🛋️

Alright we’re back for the liveskeetskeetskeet. Waiting for council to get started. Tonight’s invocation will be by Imam Adeeb Ahmed of Ahmadiyya Temple #rva

Tonight is another edition of #RVACouncil! One big item is they will be voting on Mayor Avula's CAO pick (Odie Donald II from Atlanta). At the 4PM informal meeting there will be a presentation of the Richmond 300 Code Refresh. Per the presentation, they are in the drafting ordinance phase. #rva 🧜‍♀️

Personally I’m fascinated that Councilor Trammell went from being a patron of the plastic bag tax to voting against it entirely. #rva 🧜‍♀️

Haven’t watched last night’s #RVACouncil yet but did catch this straight 🔥 🔥 🔥 from Andre Tolleris who channeled the inner rage of all Richmonders in the perfect amount of time. 👏 👏 👏 🧜‍♀️

Tonight is #RVACouncil at 6PM! You can tune in online or with rabbit eaters. #rva 🧜‍♀️ www.rva.gov/richmond-cit...

Updated interactive map illustrating all affected areas can be found via the Richmond city website, and here: cor.maps.arcgis.com/apps/instant...

Hey #rva the boil water advisory has been extended to “some” places on southside. The word some is really doing some heavy lifting based on this map. 🧜‍♀️

Good afternoon #RVA! We are excited to do one of our first BLUE SKY EXCLUSIVE live posting threads! At 3PM I’ll be live posting the Avula press conference regarding today’s water outage for much of the city north of the river right here ⬇️ . 🧜‍♀️

On Tuesday’s #RVACouncil regular agenda is an ordinance to establish a 5 cent plastic bag tax. What is your opinion of such a tax? 🧜‍♀️ #rva

Here’s a link to the video with a captioned with ASL interpretation of the debate. 🧜‍♀️ #rva youtu.be/TmgmJftAdcg

Here is the link to the live tweets from the #RVA Commonwealth’s Attorney and Sheriff’s forum hosted by Richmond Dems and Metro Richmond Area Young Dems. 🧜‍♀️ t.co/xqw0xdSwht

Local redditors reporting feeling an earthquake just now! Anyone else? #RVA 🛋️

I tweeted the fairly boring city council meeting tonight. Reva alluded to something BIG coming out. That I hear is breaking right now… 🛋️ threadreaderapp.com/thread/19170...

Heading to 3rd District Civic meeting, there is also a 2nd district civic meeting going on tonight, as well as a combined 3rd and 6th district school board info meeting tonight! Busy civic engagement evening 🛋️

Thanks for pulling this @bryanrva.dev! I’m terrible at remembering to bring the thread reader app over here. Anyway, check out last night’s #RVACouncil meeting where folks showed up and out about the budget. 🧜‍♀️

@southrichmondnews.bsky.social confirms *something* happened. RPS states it wasn’t on or near a school campus. Ehhhh. How are we feeling about this? 🛋️ southrichmondnews.com/2025/03/26/i...

Waiting to hear more about this. This stinks. 🛋️

Alright I’ve been terrible at remembering to use this app to post our threads. Last city council meeting had zero content so you didn’t miss anything. But we are SOOOO back tonight with a full public comment. Here’s a rundown of tonight’s agenda! 🧜‍♀️ t.co/MfFHAnn4q1

What role should #RPSBoard members play in looping their #RVACouncil counterparts in on the particulars of the budget and socializing the ask ahead of Kamras presenting the budget? (1/3)🧜‍♀️ t.co/XARFmNdiku

The state has accumulated a $5B tax surplus while squeezing local governments to cover the rising costs of (and need for) support staff. Your AP, your HVAC tech, your counselor, etc. They’re all working so much harder bc the state abdicated their responsibility to students and staff. 🪴

🧜‍♀️ is excited to be curled up on the couch watching #RVACouncil with Mr. Squiggles. Will be back with a summary but you can follow along live on our twitter account or watch here: www.rva.gov/richmond-cit...

On my way to FOIA the info you wouldn't give me

Here is the unrolled thread from the RPS school board meeting last night. Note last night was the Business meeting for their new schedule which is once a month back to back meetings. April 21 is now a school day! 🛋️ t.co/0vdiXCQBSQ

Great news if true 🪴
