The $1,334,007 in state aid expected for 198889 is based on an enrollment of 946, Dr. Gangel said. “If our enrollment doesn’t meet the number the state has projected, the revenue will be less. If our enrollment is higher, the revenue will be more.”
The superintendent had projected that Rappahannock’s average daily membership would be 931 this March when the state took its reading for acjjustments to this year’s money from Richmond. But the ADM at that point was 922, he reported. Asked for his “best guess” on the enrollment trend for the next five years, Dr. Gangel predicted an annual increase of one to two percent.
The superintendent described the proposed budget as “very realistic,” adding “we can operate on it.” Rappahannock’s public schools “had a good year this year and we’re looking to be better next year.” But doing better means making improvements in the county’s educational program, and while not all improvements take money, “some do, and that takes the support of the Board of Supervisors,” Dr. Gangel concluded.
Prior to the public hearing on the proposed school budget, the board will hold a work session with Dr. Gangel on April 11 and a work session on other departmental requests on April 14.
