Williamsburg and James City County leaders are expected to vote Friday on a new contract for the joint school division.
The contract is the only action item listed on the agenda for Friday morning’s joint meeting of the Williamsburg City Council, the James City County Board of Supervisors and the Williamsburg-James City County School Board. The meeting is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. at the James City County Recreation Center on Longhill Road.
The vote will come after nearly a year since the city agreed to begin negotiations with the county for a new contract, which expired in June . Jim Icenhour, chair of the Board of Supervisors, had at one point hoped to have the contract decided before Labor Day. Icenhour said he is very happy that all three parties are nearing the end of discussions.
