200 Fairfax Parents
Protest Any Cuts in
County School Bulge

Nearly 200 parents who live in
Fairfax County communities near
Falls Church met last night to
protest any cut in the countys
proposed $40 million school
budget.
The meeting was sponsored by
the School Grievances Committee
|of the Eastern Border Zone of
Fairfax County, which takes in
the area Falls Church seeks to
annex from the county. Mrs.
Charlotte Nurge of Tyler Park
presided.
Complain of Overcrowding.
Parents complained their chill
dren are attending school on half
day shifts and that full-sized
classrooms have been partitioned
in two. They predicted that un-
less something is done there will
be about four children for each
desk by next fall.
Increases in teachers salaries,
which account for the largest part
of the school budget increase, are
necessary to keep an adequate in
structional staff, the parents said.
Alvord Sherman, former men,
ber of the County School Board,
explained various items in the
school budget and said it should
be passed as proposed. Mr.. Sher-
man said the many new subdi-
visions are increasing the county's
wealth, and are not the drain on
public money that some people
claim.
School Plans Outlined.
Roy Dunn, construction en-
gineer for the Fairfax School
Board, outlined plans for schools
in the area. He explained that
the building program has been
delayed for the past year, by the
county's inability to sell a voter
approved sos school construction
bond issue because of litigation
contesting the issues validity.
Acting on advice of bond coun-
sci, the Board of Supervisors has
set June % as the date for ad-
vertising the bonds again and
plans to sell them by mid-July.
The parents wound up the
meeting by planning to form a
motorcade to drive to the budget
hearing Monday at the Fairfax
Court House. The motorcade will
form at $3.50 am. on Fenwick
drive in F'enwick Park.
