WHRO

Many local members-elect said they want to eliminate political agendas from schools and elevate parent voices in the classroom. Those messages aren’t unique to Hampton Roads.

(Courtesy of City of Portsmouth) The firing of Portsmouth’s city manager this spring set off a firestorm. Two incumbents lost their seats as part of the fallout.

Now, the frustrated minority on council is set to become the majority.

Suspected shooter Christopher Darnell Jones Jr. is a student and former football player, according to police.

Council members voted 6-1 to rezone land once home to the historic Virginia School for the Deaf, Blind and Multi-Disabled.

Despite their long presence in the area, few people in New Road owned their homes. Ruth and Ava Wise set out to change that in the 1990s, starting with a push for modern infrastructure.
