A staff member at The Academy at Virginia Randolph has been charged with assault and strangulation after a Jan. 21, 2026, altercation with a student, according to Henrico police. Erin Seville Travers, 36, of Henrico, appeared in Henrico court Thursday via video for an attorney advisement hearing.

She's due back in court next month and a trial date was set for April 3, 2026.

According to the preliminary police investigation, several students and staff had to separate Travers and the student.

The student's mother told CBS 6 that Travers threw her daughter into the wall during the altercation, though Henrico Police have not released additional details about the fight, what led to the altercation, or the condition of the student involved.
