Montgomery Co. School Board appoints Roanoke law firm to lead review of Blacksburg student deaths

The Montgomery County School Board unanimously voted to appoint Roanoke law firm Gentry Locke to lead a review surrounding the deaths of two Blacksburg students.

The vote comes a week after the school board announced that it would seek a third-party review pertaining to the Nov. 7 deaths of Serenity Hawley and her former boyfriend, Croney Monk.

As we’ve previously reported, the Blacksburg High School seniors were found in a car in a parking garage on University City Boulevard.
