📰 News we're reading
• Albemarle School Board officially calls for an independent investigation (cvillerightnow.com) — Albemarle School Board has ordered an outside law firm to investigate how the division handled concerns tied to Hollymead Elementary and other schools, promising updates every 60 days. Some Hollymead parents question the firm’s independence because it has represented Albemarle County Public Schools before, while officials insist the review will still be fully independent and focused on fixing system failures. 
• Albemarle Farmers Market to celebrate National Farmers Market Week (cvillerightnow.com) — Hollymead residents can celebrate National Farmers Market Week this Saturday at the Albemarle Farmers Market in Hollymead Town Center, with local produce, artisan goods, and a free raffle. The seasonal market, open Saturdays through noon, highlights small farms, local food security, and a growing mix of area makers and food vendors easily reachable along U.S. 29.
