Good morning

Word is circulating that the Powhatan School Board is planning to vote tonight on whether to sue the county's Board of Supervisors over the school board's planned demolition of Pocahontas buildings. The agenda shows a closed session item, referenced in line 2F and 7D, regarding "Disposition of the Pocahontas Landmark Center". It appears the body may vote on this item once they reconvene in open session at 6pm, and prior to the public comment period.
