On Monday, April 20, at 10 p.m., the Rappahannock supervisors will hold a special public hearing on the proposed school budget for 1981-82. Following the hearing, the supervisors will decide on the specifics to include in a land use taxation ordinance which will be advertised for public hearing.

Under state enabling legislation, localities may choose any or all of the four categories of land — agricultural, horticultural, fbrestal and open space—as eligible for preferential tax treatment.
