Community Budget Survey

As we look ahead to the 2025-2026 school year, Goochland County Public Schools is seeking your input to help shape our school division’s budget. Your voice is crucial in ensuring we continue to meet the needs of our students and community while efficiently using available resources.

We kindly ask that you take a few minutes to complete our 2025-2026 Community Budget Survey. This is an opportunity for you to share your thoughts on what should be prioritized in next year’s budget, what initiatives should continue, and where we can make improvements or achieve savings. Whether it’s an idea you’ve seen elsewhere, something we could do differently, or a new initiative, we value your feedback.

Please complete the survey by Friday, November 1, 2024. Your responses will be reviewed and considered as part of our budget planning process, with a report presented to the School Board on November 12, 2024.

We encourage you to attend the November 12th School Board meeting (6:00 p.m., Goochland County Administration Building, Room 250) if you would like to share your thoughts publicly.

Thank you for your time and for being a vital part of our school community. Together, we can ensure the success of all our students.

Backpacks of Love


Dear Parents/Guardians,

Backpacks of Love, Inc. is a local charity that was formed to provide food for school children over the weekend. Children who are in need of such food will receive a small bag of food & snacks on the last day of the school week. The food exchange will be handled in a discreet manner with only the guidance counselor, teacher & child aware of what is occurring.
Backpacks of Love has been providing food for families since 2011 & is expanding to accept
more families. This letter is acting as an invitation to you & your child to participate in the
voluntary program. By completing the form below and returning it to the guidance
counselor you are agreeing to participate in the program.
We want everyone that needs food bags to receive them. Because the food is limited, please do not request the bags unless there is a true need. Let the school know if circumstances change.
The form at the bottom of this page will help the school to determine who is eligible. Backpacks of Love will not be responsible for how the food is used nor responsible for determining the safety of the food in allergy or food sensitivity situations, as that responsibility falls to the parents/guardians.
Please fill out & return the attached form if you want your child to receive the weekend food
bags.
Thank you,
Matt Henke -Executive Director - director@backpacksoflove.org - (804)350-1127
