Bland County Schools Face Possible Early Closure
Bland County Virginia may close its public schools before the end of the 1961 62 term unless $40 000 in additional funds becomes available. A March to April closing date is possible with a January 8 meeting to set the exact date and cutting needed costs and seeking a county license tax revenue of about 8 000. The shortfall stems from disqualification from the state minimum education fund a 9 000 loan repayment and a 15 000 operating deficit.
