Several issues brought citizens out in large numbers for both the afternoon and evening sessions of the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors.
Certainly the most controversial was the tuition tax credit plan. Pat Grigsby, a member of the Tax Equity Committee for Loudoun County which is looking for ways to cut capitol expenses in the school budget, told the supervisors that they came up with the plan as one of the options in a package the committee presented to the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors.
Loudoun’s proposed tuition tax credit is $1,250 per child or $3,000 per family on real estate and personal property tax bills, Grigsby told supervisors. She said she didn’t know if it would work in Rappahannock but thought it is worth consideration here.
Space needs are a growing concern here although nothing like they are in Loudoun. Dr. David Gangel, superintendent of schools, presented the supervisors a list of additional classrooms which will be needed at the high school in the next five years. There has been discussion about expanding the school and about costs for other capitol improvements.
Grigsby said the tax credit plan is by no means designed to hurt public schools or meant as a criticism of the public school system but an attempt to find a. way to relieve cost pressure of capitol expenses for the public schools.
The supervisors agreed to table the issue until Loudoun County makes a decision as to whether or not they will send forward the legislation.
