Education is the foundation upon which we build our future. It shapes young minds, strengthens communities, and opens doors to endless possibilities. On March 20, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order directing the closure of the U.S. Department of Education, shifting authority over public education to individual state communities. We understand that this news raises questions; currently, we do not have all the answers.
At Northampton County Public Schools, we are watching these developments closely. The impact of the transition remains unclear regarding the programs, funding, and resources that help us serve our students each day. We await further guidance from the Federal Government, the U.S. Department of Education, and the Virginia Department of Education regarding the rollout of this executive order and its potential effects on funding allocations and policy. What we do know, without question, is this: NCPS remains committed to educating, supporting, and empowering every student.
No matter how the policy shifts at the Federal level, our purpose remains the same. We remain adamant in our commitment to academic excellence and opportunity for all. We acknowledge that the closure may present challenges, but we are prepared to face them. As more details emerge, we will communicate openly and honestly with our community. Jointly, we will navigate whatever lies ahead, ensuring that the students of Northampton County receive the quality education they deserve.
Thank you for your unwavering support and dedication to our schools. Together, we are the anchor in these shifting tides, steadfast in our mission to provide the best education for our students.
Sincerely,
Lisa Martin, Ph.D.
Superintendent
Northampton County Public Schools
