Henrico County manager supports school superintendent amid HVAC issues

Henrico County Manager John Vithoulkas publicly affirmed his full faith and confidence in Henrico County Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Amy Cashwell, according to WTVR CBS 6.

This support comes amid findings from two third-party assessments that identified significant problems with HVAC operations management within the county government and its school division.

Vithoulkas emphasized the importance of the school system to Henrico's reputation, describing it as central to why people and businesses choose to move to or stay in the county.

He stated that Dr. Cashwell represents the county's brand, which is known for excellence, and pushed back against suggestions that her leadership allowed the HVAC issues to develop.

Despite backing the superintendent, Vithoulkas acknowledged that the problems with HVAC operations were unacceptable and occurred under the county leadership's watch.
