County
school officials were recently informed of the effects of a
possible $4.5 billion shortfall to school systems in the
Commonwealth and how it could affect Buchanan County
specifically.
During
the Buchanan County School Board meeting last Tuesday,
Superintendent Tommy P. Justus informed all school board
members about a possible education funding shortfall of $3.8
billion to $4.5 billion in the Commonwealth of Virginia,
which will in turn cause a loss of $2 million in state
dollars to Buchanan County schools for the upcoming fiscal
year 2011 budget.
