PRINCE GEORGE, Va. (November 6, 2026) - Prince George County Public Schools and the Prince George County School Board invite the community to learn more about PGCPS' goals and objectives for the future and share their perspectives during a pair of upcoming listening sessions on Tuesday, November 17, 2026, and Wednesday, December 2, 2026, as part of the division's five-year comprehensive plan development process. 

 

The community is encouraged to make plans to attend at least one of the two upcoming listening sessions in Prince George County. Parents and guardians, district employees, local residents, business leaders, members of the faith-based community and civic organizations, and anyone who wants to help shape the future of Prince George County Public Schools are welcome to share their ideas during these events.

 

Both sessions are open to the public, with registration highly encouraged for the November session.

In addition to listening sessions, a survey is available for the community to share their perspectives on public education in Prince George County, which will be used to guide the development of the 2028-33 Comprehensive Plan for PGCPS. This survey is open through December 18, 2026, and it can be completed online by visiting any of the division's websites or scanning the QR code on event fliers. Paper copies of the survey are available at the Prince George County School Board Office during regular business hours through December 18, 2026. 

 

The Comprehensive Plan sets long-term goals for Prince George County Public Schools and describes how the division will work toward them and measure progress. Virginia law requires each local school board to adopt a plan that uses data to identify what students and schools need and guide decisions about how to improve classroom instruction and student achievement. The plan also addresses how the division will prepare for changes in student enrollment, use technology to support learning, and consider opportunities to share programs or services with neighboring school divisions.

 

School staff, families, and community members help shape the plan by sharing what is working well and where schools need more support. The Comprehensive Plan also includes a Family Engagement Plan that outlines how schools will build stronger partnerships with parents and caregivers and create more opportunities for families to take part in their children's education.
