The Office of Strategic Communications is pleased to welcome Tim Shea to our team as our new Legislative & Public Affairs Officer. Please make it a point to contact Tim if he can be of assistance to you in building partnerships with our legislative and business communities or in securing grants that support the outstanding work you are doing on behalf of our students.

You likely have read Tim’s work on the Charlottesville Tomorrow website. He has come to know our school division exceptionally well and is a highly accomplished writer. His in-depth knowledge of education issues and our division’s strategic plan allow him to be an instant contributor both in building partnerships for our schools and in helping us successfully compete for grant funding.

Tim is a graduate of Mary Washington and holds an M.F.A. from Southern Illinois University. His professional experience includes teaching at the collegiate level and, as a volunteer, he mentors at-risk middle and high school students in the practice of journalism. His work at Charlottesville Tomorrow was instrumental in the organization’s receipt of several awards and also enabled him to develop strong relationships with several of our community partners.

Welcome to Albemarle County Public Schools, Tim!
