Fairfax School Board
Proposes Budget With
No Change in Tax

The Fairfax County School
Board has proposed a 195O-51
school budget based on the same
tax levy as this year.
The recommended expenditures
total $2,670.902, an increase of
$80,429 over the current budget.
The board said it anticipates larger
State allotments and tax revenue
on new construction in the county,
making it unnecessary to raise the
school tax rate.
A 500 increase in most teacher
salaries and the employment of
SO additional teachers would boost
instruction costs about $224,00
The new salary scale ranges from
$4,000 to a maximum $500 for
IA years experience. The present
scale covers 13 years, with salaries
OF $2,100 to $3.400. Teachers with
IA years experience, or more would
receive an additional 5000.
No Funds for New Buildings.
No provision is made for new
school construction, although the
county anticipates a 1000 increase
next fall over the 12,945 now en-
rolled. A total of $269,7 was
spent from the current budget for
four emergency school buildings.
The decision to omit expenditures
for this purpose during 195O-51
would help absorb higher instruc-
ton and operating costs, the
board said.
A spokesman explained that
any money in the new budget for
school construction would not be
available in time to ease over
crowding next fall. Board men,
berS are pinning their hopes on a
proposed S10,500.000 school con-
struction bond issue which was
blocked last week by Falls Church
annexation proceedings.
Rate Structure Shuff1ed.
Income is anticipated as fol-
lows: S1,525,864 from the s2.S5
school tax levy; $717,783 from the
State. and the rest from miscel-
laneous sources.
Although it is proposed to keep
the total school tax at $2.65, the
board has shuff1ed the rate struc-
ture. 1t proposes that the new
levy include 1920 assessment
for operating expenses. and rs
cents for capital outlay and debt
service. The current structure
provides s2.40 for operating ex-
penses. and Is cents for debt and
capital outlay.
The Board of Supervisors has
the final say in setting tax rates.
Last year the supervisors rejected
a school board request for a 10
cent tax increase.
