New This Week #
#HuguenotStrong #
The Chesterfield County School Board and Board of Supervisors sent this message to Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney, Richmond School Board and Richmond City Council:
It is with profound sadness that we write on behalf of the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors, School Board, and our entire community to express condolences for the senseless loss of life that occurred following the Huguenot High School graduation ceremony.
Following news of Tuesday’s tragedy, staff with Chesterfield Mental Health Support Services reached out to the Richmond Behavioral Health Authority to offer assistance with any support needed. Though no immediate support was requested, we know these situations are fluid and subject to change. Therefore, Chesterfield’s offer of support is open-ended as we stand with the City of Richmond and offer any assistance to help you contend with the long days ahead.
We are keeping the families of those who died, those who were injured, and all present or impacted by the events of June 6 within our hearts and countless prayers.
To the Huguenot Class of 2023, our deepest sympathies.
