Superintendent of County Schools
IN RE:
BUDGET WORK SESSION WITH SCHOOL BOARD
School Board Chairman Frank Thomas thanked the board
for giving them an opportunity to present their budget requests.
School Superintendent Bayes Wilson gave an overview of the school
budget process. He reviewed the state mandates and the changes.
¡He noted that the Roanoke County school enrollment had declined
by 250 students and will decline another 250 students next year.
Their present plan is to cut back 25 teaching positions, 3
administrators and 10 cafeteria workers. He pointed out that the
state will allow retirement benefits as part of the increase to
meet the 7.3 state mandated teachers salary increase, but he
recommended funding the full 7.3 increase and looking at using
retirement for the next fiscal year.
Mr. Wilson also described the other needs of the
schools such as salary increases for the support personnel,
increased utilities costs, the need for new school buses, and the
capital outlay needs. There was a discussion on the possibility
IOf a lease-purchase arrangement to fund new school buses.
