![]() The 2019 opening of John Jenkins Elementary in Occoquan helped to alleviate some of the crowding, but more capacity is still needed in the division’s Eastern District. Marumsco Hills Elementary in Woodbridge has, at times, used up to six portable classrooms, and the division has long wanted to address overcrowding in Woodbridge-area elementary schools. “That’s one school we desperately needed to build,” School Board Chair Babur Lateef told InsideNoVa. The division has budgeted about $40.6 million for the new school in its capital improvement program, with an opening year of 2024. The school division will pay $3.65 million for the 4.7 acres owned by the church, while Pathway Vineyard will pay $1.1 million for the roughly 4.8 acres at 14575 Potomac Branch Drive. On Wednesday, the School Board will vote to approve two land transactions with Pathway Vineyard Church of Woodbridge: one to sell the old Ann Ludwig School property near Dale City to the church, and another to purchase the church’s current property at 1550 Prince William Parkway. Prince William County Public Schools is moving forward with a plan to swap land with a Woodbridge church in order to build its new Woodbridge elementary school, but a nonprofit that works with the area’s homeless population is still searching for new space.
