If you noted our graphic on the front page, you’ll
be pleased to see that the School Funding Bill
is moving closer to sitting on Governor Tim Kaine’s desk for approval.
If the powers that be ultimately pass either of these bills, it will mean that Rappahannock County will get a considerable boost from the State coffers when it comes to paying for education in this county. It will mean that Superintendent of Schools Dr. Robert Chappell might escape some community criticism when his budget comes round. It will also mean that our Board of Supervisors may have an easier time when it comes to preparing their budget - the price for education may be lower.
With a presidential primary just completed in Virginia and the General Assembly still at in in Richmond, it seems a fitting time to pay come kudos to Rappahannock’s elected officials Sen. Mark Obenshain and Del. Todd Gilbert. Aside from any party affiliation or political platform, what we’ve seen in the last weeks is a strong partnering between our local officials • both on the county and the school side • and our elected representatives in Richmond - Sen. Mark Obenshain and Del. Todd Gilbert - to make a real difference in this county.
