Appomattox Schools Upgrade for Safety and Growth | Roanoke News

Appomattox County Public Schools is gearing up for a safer, smarter school year with big upgrades: four new 77-passenger buses replacing older 55-seater models, plus strict safety measures like limiting US 460 bus pickups to one. Beyond transport, they’re launching a bold new strategic plan focused on instruction, student mental health, and tech integration—backed by a 4% teacher pay raise. Overcrowding at Appomattox Middle School (now at 103% capacity) is being tackled with a major study to redesign the campus layout, aiming for a conceptual plan by year’s end. These moves show a district committed to protecting students and building a stronger future. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
