The treasurer of the Newport News school board is resigning. It’s a big deal. The treasurer has been with the board for eight years. The school board has been in existence for seven years. It’s a big change in leadership and an indication that the board is serious about the future of the school.
It’s a big change in leadership. That’s a real change for Newport News. What led to the resignation? It’s the board’s decision to raise the school’s budget to $3.5 million, the largest in the state. That alone will cost the school some additional money.
The board is raising the budget. It’s a decision that has been coming for some time. This was a decision that the board made in January of last year. The reason the board raised the budget is because it felt it was time for the Newport News School to get more money to ensure the continued growth and development of the school. The board feels the cost of that growth and development has been much too high.
The board has decided to increase the budget for the School’s operating budget by $25,000. That’s because the school is a private school that receives public funding from the local government, like the district. The board feels this is a necessary increase because the school is so large and has so many students. The district has given the school a $20,000 grant, which would be covered by the increase in state funding the school receives.
The board feels that the school has too many requirements and too high a cost for its funding, which is why they want to increase the budget. But the district will always fund the school on a per pupil basis, which is exactly the same as what the public school system does. So the district just wants to see how much the school can grow without additional state funding.
The school board is trying to make up for the shortfall by building a new library and a new science lab. They are using the state’s $600,000 state grant to pay for these improvements. And, as it turns out, there’s another $700,000 that would provide the district with additional funding, if it actually gets the money from the state legislature. I guess we’ll see.
If the school can grow without the state money, then the school district could also use the state money to pay for the building of a new library and a new lab. If that happens, we’ll see. The school board is also trying to make up for the shortfall by building a new science lab and new science buildings.
The community won’t keep up its promise to build an indoor/outdoor learning center as well.
It’s hard to judge how much the state’s new budget will matter, but I doubt the amount will be large. The district can probably afford all of the extra new buildings, but it’s hard to say how much the new science lab will cost. The science building could cost $35 million, which would be nothing compared to the $100 million the school district is asking.
I think a lot of people forget that the science building was built in the old science building. We can argue about how much the science building was worth back then, but the science building has been moved and the new science buildings are going to be built in the old science building. The new science building is being built to replace the old science building, and I’m not sure how the old science building that was demolished will work with the new science building.
