Courtney voted in favor of the comprehensive agreement and final design for the new Maury High School that will open in August 2028. This new state of the art $220M high school is a significant milestone for our city. Once the new school is in use, the old Maury High School original building will revert back to the city. Courtney wants to preserve that building and come up with a shared vision of how that building could be used in the future.
Courtney believes that the school funding formula between the City of Norfolk and Norfolk Public Schools has worked very well in affording more funds from city revenue towards the schools. She appreciates the work being done to evaluate enrollment figures, capacity, facility conditions, and programming leading toward the appropriate consolidation of schools that is being determined by the Norfolk School Board.
