County Administrator Doug Stanley cites past opening costs of 600000 while the school district awaits March Board of Supervisors budget allocation. Drescher notes state funding remains flat with a 565000 Virginia Retirement System rise likely erasing any extra state money, as 2009 funding levels still constrain operations.

There will be discussion of salary increases, but specifics are not yet known.
