To Discuss Budget.
A joint meeting of the Fairfax
County Board of Supervisors and
the County School Board will be
held at 1890 am. Wednesday to
discuss the tentative school budget
for the fiscal year beginning July l.
Supt. of Schools Wilbert T. Wood
son has said that the tentative
budget drawn up by the school board
is an increase of approximately
$4,000 over the current budget,
largely due to proposed raise in
teachers salaries of $I00 per an
mum.
Members of the various Parent
Teacher Associations in the county
have favored an increase of 5000
per year in the base salary for
teachers, but board members feel
that it is impossible to grant this
amount now. The proposed budget
gain will increase the county school
tax rate about 20 cents.
The Board of Supervisors will also
will include in the tentative budget
$1,000 for school health program.
which, if started, will be under the |
supervision of the county health
department. Under this program
approximately 5000 pupils in the
public schools would be examined
each year.
