Dr. Gangel told the board that a spokesman for the Virginia School Boards Association had told him they expected a “slight increase of no more than 20 percent. I guess the 32 percent it w'ent up last year was a little more than slight.”
The amount included in the budget will only cover 70 percent of the premium if the increase is no more than 12 percent, Dr. Gangel told the board members. If the increase is 20 percent, the amount included in the budget will be less than 70 percent.
