Statement from the Chesterfield County School Board

“The Chesterfield County School Board has been made aware of a social media post made by one of our colleagues.  This post is deeply concerning and does not reflect the values, standards, or expectations of the Chesterfield County School Board.  

As elected officials, we are bound by our governance policies and a responsibility to model respect and professionalism for the students, staff, and families we serve.  This post is in direct violation of those standards.  

In light of this violation of trust and governance, we are calling for Dorothy Heffron's resignation from the Chesterfield County School Board, effective immediately.  

Our focus remains, as always, on ensuring the best possible educational environment for all Chesterfield County students.”
