Budget unchanged in Buchanan County school funding
Buchanan County Supervisors kept the school budget at 10.4 million despite initial cuts and turned decision on spending categories to the school board. The board plans a June 17 meeting to finalize reductions while teacher pay rises remain uncertain, with estimates of a 400 to 900 dollar starting raise and a 243000 shortfall to fund a 600 dollar across the board increase.
