Budget Sessions Set
School board members plan to vote on the proposed budget for next year on March 20.
Toward that deadline, school superintendent Robert Estabrook says he will present his proposed expenditures to the public and the School Board at a special • meeting set for March 6. The board would receive public response at its March 13 meeting during the following week.

Starting at about 5 a.m., he said he begins to contact superintendents in neighboring counties, the sheriff’s department and the state police. He talks with assistant superintendent Tom Campbell, who lives in Luray, about conditions “on the other side of the mountain”
