The Chesterfield County School Board is taking a lot of flack for its recent announcement to cut teachers and increase class sizes. We all know that times are tough, but thankfully the MLWGS budget isn’t shaping up to be as bad as once thought. Next year will be tough – no new textbooks, fewer field trips, reduced “activity” funds – but it looks like we will manage without the drastic cuts some other schools are facing.
A special kudos to FOVGS and all their lobbying efforts last week. According to one legislator, the funding for Virginia’s Governor’s Schools “will probably make it out alive.” And who knows, maybe Obama’s $825 billion stimulus package might result in some extra education funding for Virginia!
