Raiford, a consultant with MGT of America, led the review team. At the presentation she rattled of a list of praises for Rappahannock schools.
John Ringer, associate director of the Virginia Department of Planning Budget, said that often school administrators lack the time to review practices and procedures to improve efficiency.
