There was also some good news on the money front. Dr. Gangel reported that all the work that has been done on the parking lot in back of the high school and the softball field to the side of the building was done by Steve Leake, who donated his time and the use of his equipment.
“I can’t begin to express my gratitude to the Leakes for their community spirit in doing this work for us,” Mrs. Massie said.
The board voted unanimously to accept the donation valued at $2,695 and to thank the Leakes. “It’s deeply appreciated,” Mrs. Massie said. Earlier the board had toured the parking lot and ballfield and had discussed ways to protect the school’s windows from errant foul balls.
More good news came from enrollment figures. A significant portion of state aid to the schools is based on average daily membership as measured in March. The budget was based on the state’s estimate of 904 for Rappahannock for this year, but as of the board meeting there were 937 students enrolled, 357 at the high school and 580 at the elementary school.
Dr. Gangel said the three grade levels he had been following carefully to make sure they stayed within state standards for maximum class size were all within standards. There are 95 students in kindergarten in four sections, 66 in first grade in three sections and 71 in third grade in three classes, he reported.
