May 17, 2023: Only one candidate so far for four seats on Charlottesville School Board

What about today? Surely there is a fake holiday to mark this 137th day of the year as measured from the wintry start! Or perhaps it is more important to point out that there are 35 days remaining until the solstice and the longest night? These are not questions that the newsletter and podcast known as Charlottesville Community Engagement is intended to answer, but they are fun to ask all of the same. I’m Sean Tubbs. On today’s program: * There’s only one candidate so far for four seats on the Charlottesville School Board* Two of Albemarle’s four School Board races are contested* There’s a new principal at CATEC* Charlottesville City Council will hold a retreat this week and it will be livestreamed* Four of five candidates for Democratic nominations to Charlottesville City Council explain what they want to see in a city manager* An Albemarle design body has taken the first look at a new Home Depot at Fashion Square Mall This is a public episode.
