The Virginia Legislature passed a budget on Sunday, March 14th reducing funding to public school by an additional 250 million. In looking at a breakdown from the Virginia Education Association (VEA) it looks like Wise County is set to lose another 2.4 million on top of the 4.5 million originally cut.

I guess we will find out in the next few days about what the school board will do and if these figures are accurate. It doesn't look good for students and teachers.
