Norfolk school officials this week notified the parents of students and employees whose medical information was publicly disclosed in school crisis plans online for a year until August. After staff and attorneys reviewed the plans, the district identified a total of 308 students and staff who were referenced in the school crisis plans from the past two years, although only about half of those individuals had their information shared publicly. The district notified everyone “just to be on the safe side,” a spokeswoman said.

Charlottesville has selected a consulting firm to help to find its next city manager. The city is awarding a $25,000 contract to S. Renee Narloch & Associates, according to city officials. The firm will work with councilors and staff to determine the desired qualities of the next city manager. Hill said information from public hearings over the summer and the results of newly launched community survey also will be considered. The city published a notice of its intent to award the contract on its website on Oct. 11. Because the contract is for less than $50,000, it falls under the city’s small-purchase policy and does not require formal City Council approval, according to City Attorney John Blair. The City Council planned to meet in closed session to discuss the recruitment process on Oct. 8, but removed the item from the agenda. Councilors also held a joint meeting with the Human Rights Commission on Oct. 11, but took no action related to the city manager search. Councilor Wes Bellamy directed questions to Hill and Mayor Nikuyah Walker. Walker and Councilors Kathy Galvin and Mike Signer did not return requests for comment.
