Government of the people, by the people and for the people is best conducted before the eyes of the people.

It’s ironic that Rappahannock’s school board members, so concerned to see that the Father of this country’s birthday be appropriately honored, should want to discard that concept, one of the principles that George Washington battl ‘d for so bravely.

At Tuesday’s special budget meeting, the school board voted unanimously to seek a way around Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act. On a motion from Nelson Lane, the board agreed to check with their attorney, Phillip Stone, a recognzied expert on school board law, to see if they can legally meet behind closed doors to discuss the proposed 1982-83 school budget and anything else that pertains to the public educational system.

The unanimous vote came after chairman Beverly Massie noted that all budget work sessions have to be open to the public, according to an opinion from the county’s commonwealth’s attorney.
