What Chesterfield County Public Schools does

Chesterfield County Public Schools (CCPS) is a public K-12 school district and government entity under the Commonwealth of Virginia, serving families residing in Chesterfield County, Virginia. The district provides free public education from prekindergarten through 12th grade, supplemented by adult continuing education, and operates programs spanning gifted education, special education, career and technical education, English as a Second Language, Virginia Preschool Initiative, mental health and counseling, SAT and SOL test preparation academies, work-based learning, and alternative education. Core technology infrastructure includes Canvas as the learning management system (with a dedicated Parent & Guardian portal), ParentVUE and StudentVUE information portals, an ArcGIS-based school lookup tool, and a district-provided Chromebook device program supporting digital learning across schools.

CCPS is funded primarily through local, state, and federal public tax revenues, with Title I federal grant funding supplementing support for high-need schools. Auxiliary revenue streams include fee-based services for school meals (processed through schoolcafe.com), summer programs, and activity fees (processed through osp.osmsinc.com). The district's marketing and stakeholder engagement operate through its official website (oneccps.org), YouTube video content, news releases, and community events, reflecting a traditional public-sector communications model. The district is governed by an elected School Board and falls within the broader Chesterfield County Government structure. CCPS is currently expanding physical capacity with West Ridge High School, the district's first new high school in 20 years, scheduled to open in August 2027, and has launched a Generative Artificial Intelligence initiative within its Learning program portfolio.
