0000imulus package
relieves W'md school's
revenue shortfall
The numbers are not yet set in concrete, but at a meeting this Monday
Westmoreland County School Superintendent Elaine Fogliani told her
board that Congress's recent passage of the federal government,s economic
stimulus package will provide enough relief to fund employee salaries at
their current level.
Funding from the stimulus package could translate as money to offset
revenue shortfalls in the school budget's instruction and instructional supplies
category. The anticipated school funding deficit would drop to $78,000 if
the latest projections are correct.
The superintendent's earlier estimates suggested a $420,000 reduction
in the state's basic aid contribution to Westmoreland County schools. The
state's contribution is a key component of the statutory formula used to
compute the minimum level of revenue a locality must contribute to its
schools, a consideration that would drive the shortfall to a higher level.
To balance next year's school division budget, Fogliani earlier proposed
to eliminate assistant principal positions, reduce employee salaries as much
as 1 percent, eliminate several of the central office's administrative posi-
tions, reduce funding for field trips and extra curricular activities and end
the pre-school programs at the elementary schools.
On February 23 Fogllani shared hope that the federal stimulus package
will translate into an additional $535,435 to help support Westmoreland
County's schools.
Because the revenue would be channeled through state government, the

Two Lancaster women
come 00ard to challenge
Delega00 Albert Pollard
One of two Lancaster County women will appear on the November
3, 2009 election ballot as the Republican Party candidate challenging
incumbent Democrat Albert C. Pollard, Jr. in the 99 District House of
Delegates contest.
The Republican Party's 996 District legislative committee.met on Janu-
ary 19 and established a February 22 deadline for receiving filings from
prospective House of Delegates election candidates.
During the session veteran Republican Party House of Delegates candidate
Lee Afine Washington expressed keen interest in making herself available
for a second run as that party's candidate.
A Lancaster native, parent and practicing attorney, Washington became
well known on Virginia's Northern Neck in 2008's very short election
contest.
The death of Congresswoman JoAnn Davis in late 2007 resuked in a
special election in which Delegate Rob Wittman won election to the empty
seat in Congress.
A second special election followed on January 29, 2008. Lancaster
County resident and former Delegate Albert Pollard was returned to the
99 District position as the Democratic Party election victor, but in one of
the shortest campaign seasons ever, first-time Republican Party candidate
