House Joint Resolution 1 (HJ1), dubbed the "Reproductive Freedom Amendment," aims to safeguard access to abortion and other reproductive healthcare. The amendment would codify the right to make decisions about pregnancy, contraception, and childbirth free from undue government interference.

Press release:
Fredericksburg Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (FAMPO) is working towards an eventual National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) certification for a river crossing bridge and parkway west of I-95, across the Rappahannock River. This new crossing would provide direct access between Stafford County and the City of Fredericksburg West of I-95 and help offer a more reliable transportation network, including more north/south routes for local traffic and additional routes for emergency responders, transit, and bicycle/pedestrian users, while reducing everyday reliance of trips accessing the I-95 corridor.

Ed Stephenson, Ph.D., Manassas City Public Schools' (MCPS) director of instruction, spoke to the Board about two potential options for each of the upcoming school years, which would follow a similar pattern to the current 2024-2025 schedule.
In the spring, MCPS went through an overhaul of the current year's calendar in an effort to maximize instructional time and professional development. The changes also moved certain holiday observances to align with professional development schedules. For example, the 2024-25 calendar extended winter break through Jan. 6 instead of having students return on Jan. 2, which is typical for most school districts.
