Public Support Declining
Jo Gorman spoke on behalf of Rappahannock’s Community Services Center which requested an additional 7.8 percent this year. Gorman explained that public support was on the decline, and by reducing its staff, the center had saved $81,000. She said that on the average other counties in Virginia receive $6.68 in per capita support, while Rappahannock only spends $2.14. “We’re collecting less than half in dollar support,” she said.
Linda Dietel presented a request for $1,000 for the Child Care Learning Center’s new building program. She explained that local support is instrumental in enabling the school to gain grants from foundations elsewhere. Several parents whose children are enrolled in the school, presently known as Sursum Corda, also expressed support. In addition, Joe Sherman, an architect from Madison who helped select the site for th^ new building on Route 211,. testified on behalf of the request, saying there was much interest outside of Rappahannock in such a school.
Bob Eastham of Flint Hill spoke against the request. “I admire their enthusiasm, but this is a private matter and you would be erroneous in supporting it,” he told the supervisors. Eastham expressed concern that proposed funds for construction might later lead to requests for operational support.
Sherman explained that the school eventually could support the public school system by offering remedial services for individual students on a contract basis.
