{"A":"Dinwiddie County Public Schools","B":"Dinwiddie County Government Day","C":"The Dinwiddie Public Schools Comprehensive Plan defines priority one as student success: academically, personally and civically. To ensure students graduate life ready, DCPS has developed specific experiences for each student prior to graduation.  These experiences, like Government Day, are designed to help students gain a deeper understanding of how to build our community and what choices are made by our board of supervisors to continue the growth of our community.    Government Day is a community collaboration. Students spend the day walking in the shoes of our county Board of Supervisors.  Board members work alongside a small group of high school seniors to weigh the pros and cons of the senior staff proposals given to them and develop a budget presentation to justify their choices.     This experience is built into the curriculum and includes other virtual simulations, discussions and assignments focusing on economic development and the role of the local government.
