As Sarah Romero told you over the weekend, the new Prince William County School Board is sworn in and ready to work. Its term begins Jan. 1, 2024, with the board's first meeting shortly after that.

The Board wrapped up its calendar year at its Dec. 5, 2023 meeting, when it approved a new school naming policy that clarified for whom the county will name new schools, putting stricter guardrails naming facilities after relatives of school board members.

According to the policy, “relative' shall mean a board member’s spouse, child, uncle, aunt, niece, nephew, first cousin, a person to whom the board member is engaged to be married, his or her spouse’s parent, grandparent, grandchild, brother, sister, step-parent, step-grandparent, step-grandchild, step-brother, or step-sister; brother-in-law, sister-in-law, son-in-law or daughter-in-law."
