With little discussion and no debate, the Rappahannock school board moved quickly at Tuesday's meeting to absorb $72,000 cut from the proposed 198283 school budget last week by the county s 7 rvisors, voting unanimously to accept recommendations on reductions made by superintendent Robert Estabrook.
“I think you did a fine job in finding what you could without doing a great deal of damage,” said board member Nancy Reeves in reaction to Estabrook’s proposal.
The bulk of the money—$34,051—was found in salaries for teachers and other school employees and the accompanying fixed charges for life insurance, social security and hospitalization.
The supervisors recommended cutting pay raises from 8.5 percent to six percent but the school board accepted Estabrook’s compromise figure of 7.5 percent salary increases for the 1982-83 year.
The second biggest chunk came in dropping one school bus replacement for a savings of $21,500. Transportation
