Virginia school energy costs surged in the 1974-75 year, nearly doubling from 1973-74. The State Department of Education traced the jump to inflation and higher electricity and fuel prices, with the trend impacting tax-supported districts and local taxpayers. Roanoke saw electricity costs triple to 650000, while some districts held steady due to long-term contracts.
