Dedication to Educational Excellence Superintendent Mervin B. Daugherty says, “Our philosophy is that every child coming into our school system, no matter the ZIP code, the financial situation, receives the best education, every day.” He underscores the district’s commitment to fostering a nurturing and supportive environment for students and for staff across all 67 schools, with an emphasis on recognizing the uniqueness of each student as they step into the learning environment. “Every child is extremely important when they walk in our doors every day. We make sure that the entire staff of Chesterfield County Public Schools — over 8,000 full-time employees — feels that we are walking the talk of demonstrating that support.
