The Rappahannock County School Board was hard at work until nearly midnight Tuesday and has most of its budget review behind it.

“The real nitty gritty” of the evening was also how Bill Oliver phrased the reasoning behind his index salary proposal. The new plan he brought to the School Board would be easier to sell to the Board of Supervisors, he said; and he did not want to see an index salary scale for teachers fail again.

As Superintendent Robert Estabrook put it, “Enough is enough. I think we need an index now.”

Oliver’s proposal was to adopt a three percent index step for each year of teaching experience with Rappahannock schools through 14 years. For years 16-19 three percent would be added; for 29-24, four percent and at 25 an additional four percent.
