supervisors for additional funds.
“How much do we need from the supervisors? How much are we able to pay out of our current budget?" asked Charles Eldred.
If money from the current budget is used, it will have to be taken from capital outlay for the elementary school's fire alarm and from maintenance for the high school's, according to Bloomer.
"Fire alarms weren't included in the budget so we’ll have to take funds intended for other purposes.” he explained.

Eastham noted that the entire amount appropriated for capital outlay— $16,315 — remained in the budget as of December. "What expenditures are expected during the balance of the year?” he asked.
Bloomer answered that the capital outlay appropriation covered $8,000 for underground gasoline storage tanks to be put in at the site of the new school bus garage and $7,300 for track equipment.
Mrs. Massie asked for a motion to take money for the alarms from capital outlay and maintenance slots.
“I’d like a little more information on what we’re short-changing at the high school,” Eldred responded.
"It’s going to pinch wherever you do it.” replied Bloomer.
Mrs. Massie noted that Rappahannock might get additional funds from the state during the current school year and could use the money to replace the amount taken for the fire alarms.
If the school budget runs short later, then the supervisors can be asked for an additional appropriation, Eastham added.
The board voted unanimously to accept Standard’s bid for the alarm systems at both schools with payment to be made out of the existing budget.
