I would be more than happy to work with the school board in developing a long-term plan for education in the county. I would not support public funding for the planning process. If funding is required, it should be raised through voluntary donations.

How DO YOU BALANCE THE

NEED FOB QUALITY EDUCATION AND THE CONCERN

FOR TAXES?

This is a tough one. First, what determines a quality education? I do not think taxes can be raised above a limit that the population can afford. I would like to see some adjustment to state funding such as changes in the Composite Index; this would relieve some of the pressure on property taxes. This would have the long time action of helping keep Rappahannock a viable rural county.
