about $1.5 million from the bill, but to make it more viable in a tight-fisted fiscal year, Del. Gilbert reduced the amount that it could bring Rappahannock.
$250,000 would be less than two percent of an education budget that Rappahannock County Administrator John McCarthy said could rise to $14 million in fiscal year 2011, the first year the additional state money would be available.
Chappell said the funding bill succeeded because of the work of supportive members of the General Assembly, county and school officials, and Rappahannock residents, who wrote more than 500 letters to assembly members.
He said that in January he was not sure if the bill would make it, but then momentum started to build.
“It was just a team effort, he said. “Everybody played a role."
Chappell said he has already had in-person meetings with two adjacent counties to discuss cost-sharing agreements. He did not say which counties he had spoken to.
