Greensville County Public Schools

Greensville County Public Schools is a school division headquartered in Emporia, Virginia,[1] serving that city and Greensville County.[2]

Circa 1972 there was an effort by Emporia residents to create a separate school division. On June 22, 1972, the United States Supreme Court denied the creation of the district on a 5-4 basis, with the four dissenters having been appointed by U.S. president Richard Nixon.[3]

Governance

The district has four school board members from Greensville County and two from Emporia.[2]

gollark: How do you know that you don't know other people who consumed soy‽ What if ALL consume soy?
gollark: That is definitely* a reasonable reason to dislike people. Also, how do you know that they consumed soy?
gollark: I mean, something something... selection bias? There's probably a more specific word. But you're more likely to see ridiculous extreme things if you seek out people who go around talking about this lots.
