Each of the 100 students from eight Henrico high schools will work directly with county officials and participate in staged meetings. This program is extremely successful because it pairs each student with a Henrico administrator to shadow for the day, giving them valuable experience with situations that occur daily in local government, said Public Information Director Coral Gills. Students will assume the roles of Henrico s board of supervisors and the school board, as well as the county manager, school superintendent, constitutional officers and other key officials and department heads for the day. The general government students will conclude their day by holding a mock board of supervisors meeting at 2 p.m., in the Board Room of the Administration Building, Parham and Hungary Spring roads.
