At the April 4 meeting of the Rappahannock School Board, Assistant Superintendent Ray Hogan asked for and received authorization to enter into a regional special education program with Fauquier County. Under the agreement, Rappahannock will share the services of a full-time specialist in educational evaluation with Fauquier.
Hogan reported that Rappahannock failed to meet the $7,500 minimum level for federal funding of its special education program. Nineteen students were identified as handicapped as of October 1, 1977. This number grew to 61 by February, 1978. Hogan explained that federal regulations call for taking an average of the two numbers and multiplying that figure by $115.
