The Rappahannock County Education , Association (RCEA) formally stated at last Tuesday’s board meeting its objections to the recently approved accounting procedures for an unqualified audit of the schools’ activity and cafeteria funds.

The RCEA charged that the school board acted without knowing how new controls will affect daily classroom routine and without seeking a recommendation from the administration. According to the RCEA, teachers already spend valuable time each school day on matters which do not relate to instruction. The new accounting procedures will take additional instructional time from teachers and time from administrators which ought to be spent in supervising instructional programs and dealing with instructional problems, according to the RCEA.

The educational association’s membership questioned why the audit proposal was dealt with so swiftly while "problems of curriculum and capital outlay seem to be endlessly delayed and put at the end of discussions." In conclusion, the RCEA maintained that "the integrity of each school employee is being questioned without cause” by the accounting controls.
