It’s budget time.
Just about every meeting from the first of the year until it’s finalized is filled with budget considerations: health care, staff pay, bonuses, spending priorities and district-wide needs.
This year the Fluvanna County School Board has an additional task: searching for a new superintendent. Current Superintendent Chuck Winkler will retire in June.
The Board would like to hire his replacement as soon as possible.
At Wednesday’s (Jan. 20) seminar, besides budget priorities, they discussed what they were looking for in the next superintendent.
Chair Perrie Johnson (Fork Union) said 550 people responded to a survey on superintendent qualifications.
