Convenience or Controversy?
Norfolk Community Services Board has proposed relocating its Crisis Stabilization center. One site it had in mind was a little too close for comfort for residents in Norfolk’s Ghent-area neighborhoods. And what is the reasoning behind the proposed relocation? We’ll discuss the issue with West Ghent Civic League president, Dr. Dan Newman, along with Brenda Wise and Jacqueline Schaede from the Community Services Board. We hope you'll join in the conversation as well.

Norfolk Public Schools: New Leadership
Last school year, Norfolk Public Schools made a lot of headlines, and not always for a good reason. Testing controversies, layoff worries, and questionable classroom leadership overshadowed some of the school system’s great successes. As we head into a brand new year, Norfolk welcomes brand new school leadership. We’ll discuss plans to address those problems, and keep moving forward with new superintendent, Dr. Richard Bentley, and new school board chair, Dr. Kirk Houston Sr.
