Virginia Beach Local Pulse: School Investigation, Redistricting Vote, and Community News
Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Friday, March sixth.
We're starting this morning with a developing story that's raising serious concerns about child safety in our schools. Virginia Beach police are investigating an incident at Pembroke Elementary School where a six-year-old student with special needs came home with a large handprint-shaped welt on his thigh. The child's mother, Maria Cannady, says the mark appeared sometime on Tuesday while he was in class. She's described it as resembling an adult handprint, and the injury was significant enough that a teacher noticed it during a bathroom visit. According to Cannady, her son has autism and is nonverbal, which makes it impossible for him to explain what happened. She's calling for answers about who caused the injury and how it occurred. Virginia Beach City Public Schools hasn't commented yet, but police confirm they're actively investigating the matter.
On a lighter note, if you're in the market for a new home, there's a beautiful property that just hit the market in our community. A professionally remodeled transitional home overlooking a pond in the Kellam High School district is now listed for six hundred sixty thousand dollars. The twenty-six hundred sixty-seven square foot home features four bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and includes some wonderful amenities like a covered deck, an in-ground saltwater pool, and a stamped concrete patio. It's the kind of turnkey property that appeals to families looking for that perfect blend of comfort and location.
Looking at what's happening at city hall, Virginia Beach voters are gearing up for an important decision. Early voting for a redistricting special election begins today, with Election Day set for April twenty-first. This is a significant vote for our community's future representation.
As for weather, we're looking at westerly winds this afternoon ranging from ten to fifteen knots with gusts up to twenty. We can expect seas around three feet, so if you're planning any water activities, keep that in mind. It's a decent day to be outside, but those winds will be noticeable.
We also want to recognize that earlier this week, the Virginia Air National Guard's two hundred third squadron held a memorial ceremony to honor the twenty-fifth anniversary of a tragic plane crash that took the lives of twenty-one service members. It's a solemn reminder of the sacrifices made by those who serve our nation.
That's what's happening in Virginia Beach today. Thank you so much for tuning in to Local Pulse. Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss tomorrow's update. This has been a Quiet Please production. For more, check out quietplease dot ai.
