Unscheduled
matter
The Board recently approved
the construction of speed
bumps on Walnut Drive in the
vicinity of Enon Elementary
School. I asked why the bump’s
couldn’t be extended further
south to at least Central
Ave., where most of the
speeding occurs from traffic
in both directions. There have
been several accidents and
destruction of private
property from drivers not
realizing the curve at Central
and Walnut Drives.
I was told another request
would have to be initiated to
place additional speed bumps
further south from the current
proposal. Is there a reason
the current approved proposal
cannot be amended to include
more areas further south on
Walnut Drive to include
Central Avenue? I have offered
my porch and will even provide
water or tea to have an
assessment of the area in
question and certainly within
30 minutes, you will
understand why this request
needs immediate attention.
Thank you in advance.

Unscheduled
matter
Our New Attorney General Jay
Jones issued a requested OAG
Official Opinion submitted by
Senator Glen Sturtevant August
2025 Published on March 5th,
2025 that Chesterfield County
Public Schools SHALL have
State and Federal Funding
SHALL not be made available to
an LEA (School District) which
has REFUSED to Comply with
State Complaint Determinations
UNTIL IT COMPLIES with the
State and Federal Laws and
Regulations.
This stems from the LOF
(Letter of Findings) 7-17-2023
for Eryn Little and the State
Complaint Appeal in which CCPS
also lost, calling
Chesterfield County Public
Schools INDEFENSIBLE. 9-13-
2023 - These have been shared
with The Board through the
Fraud, Waste and Abuse Portal
and via E-mail, so the Board
of Supervisors could be aware
beyond Public Meeting
Conversations that something

was VERY wrong that COULD
impact Budget.
The ILLEGAL Retaliatory, Ultra
Vires, Void Ab Initio (as I
found out through TONS of
FOIAs and filing everything I
could possibly additionally
file under my Rights of
Citizen and I.D.E.A. and
504/ADA Special Education
complaint avenues) is THE
Cause of the 'ILLEGAL' Denial
and Delay of a FAPE for Eryn
Little. Case is CL 23-00-4259-
00 a lawyer-layering scheme to
'hide' Grants 'Malfeasance' -
Applications for Grants
Funding under 'allegedly'
Fraudulent Claims.
YEARS of Funding 'COULD' be
REVOKED. Multiple Federal
Authorities are investigating
and even the Trump White House
submitted a direct referral.
I went to an August 2023 BOS
Meeting during the daytime to
let the Board of Supervisors
know that Eryn Little had been
DEPRIVED Education/DENIED FAPE
and my concerns about the
potential BUDGET IMPACTS to
Chesterfield County.
Chesterfield County should
have never initiated, nor
maintained a Lawsuit against
Me, an ADULT by Initials, and
the opened the case on the
WRONG Dispute Resolution Style
which is NOT subject to
overturn in the Circuit Court
under ANY Circumstances. CL
23-00-4259-00 is OPEN to the
Public because I argued and
WON that right, for
TRANSPARENCY. The Fox Watching
the Henhouse @ CCPS/CCPS
School Board is NOT working
out well especially with
underhanded, UNDERGROUND
Lawsuits in pure RETALIATION
for Winning Educational
Determinations.
Eryn Little SHALL Graduate
Clover Hill HIGH School May
21st, 2026 with ALL Accolades,
Honors, & Recognitions he
COULD have had if the
excessive malfeasances had NOT
Occurred with an HONORARY
Advanced Diploma.
