Lateacia A. Sessoms

Lateacia Sessoms serves on the Portsmouth School Board in a term listed through December 2028. Her official biography identifies her as a licensed professional counselor and executive director of Community of Change. It also describes teaching in human services at Old Dominion University and a business leadership role with Presidential Funeral Services.

Her professional background connects mental health, family support and the organizations serving people through difficult circumstances. For a school community, the governance questions can include how students find support, how families receive information and how a division evaluates its programs. Those questions are distinct from a request for individual counseling or clinical care.

Residents can use Sessoms’s official member page and the School Board’s meeting resources to follow policy discussions. A useful inquiry should identify the program or recurring concern, explain the effect on students and ask for the information needed to understand the response. Private health or student information should be shared only through the appropriate professional channels. The public board process is best used to discuss policy and systemwide needs.
