At Tuesday’s meeting, the Rappahannock School Board demonstrated its responsiveness to citizen concerns by scheduling a series of special budget sessions that will allow adequate opportunity for public comment and discussion.
Chairman Beverly Massie announced that there will be four meetings: on February 20 for “public input”, March 6 for Superintendent William Bloomer’s presentation, March 15 for more “public response” and March 20 for the Board’s adoption.
This schedule gives the public an opportunity to come forward with “wish lists” on February 20. But more importantly, it permits reaction by parents, teachers and other interested citizens to the Superintendent’s proposals in time for Board members to weigh that reaction.
Last year, those who tried to Become invoked in the budget adoption process complained that they were working in a vacumn, that they couldn’t comment intelligently when they had no idea what the Superintendent would present to the Board members in the way of a working budget.
