The School Board has no power to tax.
County supervisors allocate funds from the county coffers to education.
School Board members decide how to divide the pie devoted to education. In 1993, Fauquier voters approved a county referendum to elect rather than appoint the School Board. School members were elected for the first time in November 1995. Their present term lasts until December 1999. The school board meets on the second Monday of every month at the Warren Green motel in Warrenton.
