' res tO be As required by Section22.1-93 ofth¢CodeofVirginia, we are hereby,,subnmmng ~tima used for budgetary purposes relative to the Basic School Aid Formula' for school years 1996-97 and I997-98. Aid to locality estimates are based on the 1996-98 budget adopted on February 22~ 1997 bythe General Assembly, which is subject to final approval by the Governor. Attached to this memorandum are the following: A. Information regarding selected aid to locality accounts which were affected by final actions of the General Assembly (Attachment A). B. Language excerpts from the 1996-98 Appropriations Act (Attachment B). An individualized printout projecting paymems to each locality from state funds (Attachraem C). An individualized sheet listing the schools eligible for participation in the reduced K-3 class size initiative (Attachment D). The dollar estimates provided on the attachments, where applicable, are based on the Department of Education's projection of March 31 average dally membership (ADlVl) for each locality. While we have confidence in our projection of total ADM for the State, experience has shown that the projections for individual localities are subject to change. When localities believe that they have more accurate projections of their March 31 ADM (adjusted or unadjusted), they are encouraged to substitute their estimates for th~se provided in this document. The following general remarks concerning these projections should be noted: In addition to ADM estimates, these projections are based on current estimates of program participation rates, fiscal year sales tax, and other input variables to the respective formulae. These projections are thus subject to adjustment as these variables change. These estimates include only State funds (General Fund; Literary Fund comributions to Teacher Retirement, and Driver Education contribution to Basic Aid). Federal funds have been excluded from the LEA by LEA analyses, as data are not available to develop such -estimates at this time. The estimates provided for the Vocational Education categorical accounts include each locality's share of any allocations for a regional vocational technical cemer. Each locality's share has been determined based upon the percentages of participation provided to the Department. The estimates provided for Technology include Regional Vocational Technical Centers, Vocational Centers within the school division, Regional Special Education Programs and Academic Year Governor's Schools. These are included with the school division's estimates who is serving as the fiscal agent. Please recognize that these projections are estimates. There is no guarantee that the allocations will be received exactly as projected. Questions may be directed to Mrs. June F. Eanes, Acting Assistant Superintendent for Finance, at (804) 225-2060 or Mr. Kent Dickey, Data Base Analyst, at (804) 225-2806.

These revisions reflect an increase in Basic Aid. B~ Funding was included in the Governor's budget for a 2% teaCher salary increase effective 1/I/98 for the 1997-98 year. The budget as adopted by the General Assembly includes funding for an increase of 4% effective 1/1/98. Language has been included to allow school divisions that begin paying the employee's share of contributions to the Virginia Retirement System in 1997- 98, as a new benefit that has not been avall:.~? to teacher, s in prior years, may .q.~ for the salary supplement funds. I~. order to be eligible t° rece,ve these funds, local,ties .m.us.t ~ertify that equivalent increases in teacher ~ln!,ies have been Wanted, or the school dtwsion began paying for the employee's share of contributions to the Retirement System in the fiscal year. Funding is included to provide for the state share of $15 Per pupil in 199%98 for the Maintenance Supplement. In 1996-97, $2.1 million is included to provide a one-time payment to school divisions receiving less state funding in the first year as a result of a loss in school age population between the years 1992 and 1996. The additional payment shall be made to 1~..~ school divisions requesting such payment, for a percentage of the difference between the funding the division would receive using the 1992 Census in the first year and the funding that would be received from these accounts in the first year using the 1996 Census.

This adjustment is applied to the nine school divisions h~ Planning District 8.

Tucker, Jr., County Executive Albemarle County 401 Mclnfire Rd. Chadattesville. Virginia 22903 Dear Mr. Tucker, This letter is written at the request of Ginnie McDonald in response to the question raised in your February 24 correspondence to Bruce Kirtley and George Loper. On February 27, AHIP President Anne Kavanaugh, Vice-President Nick Munger, and Executive Director Theresa Tapscott met with Mr. Kirtley and Mr. Loper to discuss these matters. At our invitation, representatives of CHF and TJHIC attended the AH1P Execuf~ve Committee meeting on March 3 to cont'mue these conversations. During both meetings, there wore discussions about what services the combined TJHtC/CHF organization could offer to Albemarle County. The response bythe representatives of the newly combined organization wos that for the near future, their priorities will be organizational activities and project development, and that actual serv'me delivery would come later. Mr. Kirfley and Mr. Loper emphasized that they do not wish to take any actions which could weaken AHIP, nor seek funding which would come at AHIP's expense. We discussad at length the need to insure the services provided in the future by this new organization complement, rather than duplicete, AHIP's capacity. The attached addendum outlines AHIP's current activities, and capacities. AHIP endorses the County Housing Committee's Resolutions of May 18, 1995, calling for housing agencies to explore the possibilities of reorganizing in order to achieve economies of scale, and we also woicome the opportunity to work with other groups in the Planning District to develop more efficient and effective housing delivery servicas. AHIP supports the concept of an organization designed to streamline housing activities, reduce competition for resources and recognition, build the capacity of other non-profits, and serve as a conduit for privately raised funds i~ the region. We feel strongly that such an entity should involve all the localities and area non-prefits during its organizational planning and design, and throughout its decision-making process, se as to establish an effective system of checks and balances and to insure accountability to all funding sources. As always, AHIP welcomes the opportunity to participate in the ongoing effort to improve housing initiatives for the region. Sincerely, Anne Kavanaugh President-Board of Directors Theresa Tapscott Executive Director cc: Ms. Roxanne W.

Goals for FY are to complete 40 and 18 respectively. AHIP leverages approximately $900,000 from outside sources to accomplish ils goals. Emergency Home Repair Program: The Emergency Home Repair Program serves appro~mately 75 families in Albemarle County each year. AlbemaHe County provides one staff position, and administrative support, and AHIP leverages funds from other public/private sources to complete the construction projects. Neighbors Program: The Neighbors Program utilizes volunteer labor, private contr~ufions, and available public/private funding sources to rehabitEate and build homes for Iow income families. Clients served through the Neighbors Program typically have needs that cannot be met by traditional resources available to AHIP. Volunteer labor and private contributions are used to "fill the gap" between what is available, and actual job cast. New Construction/Home Sales: AHIP maintains an extensive waiting list of Iow income families who wish to purchase their fkst homes. AHIP staff provides initial screening of individuals to determine their readiness to purchase. If an individual is ready and eligible, AHIP works to locate an affordable home and assists with financing, it the individual does not qualify for one reason or another, he/she is referred to the Albemarle Office of Housing's Housing Counselor. in order to provide affordable units for Iow income families to purchase, AHIP has begun to build modest units throughout Albemarle County as needed. Al-liP is capable of building and selling homes for signIficantly less than for-profit developers because of its non-profit philosophy and the administrative base provided by Albemarle County. AHIP has made home ownership possible for even ve~ Iow income families by applying the volunteer labor of the Neighbors Program to further reduce cost. 5. Rental Housing: AHIP currently has several rental irons in the fire: -AHIP has optioned a piece of property in Albemarle County in order to conduct site studies to determine the feasibility of developing 16 single family homes. If feasible, the homes would be rented to Iow ~ceme county resPJents at belew ma.~. et rents. It is proposed that this project .would be financed in large part by the Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program. -AHIP is partnering with the Shelter for Help in Emergency (SHE) to develop several units of transitional housing for SHE clients. The program is being designed to provide some short term (6 weeks to 1 year), and long term (1 year to 3 years) rental housing. AHiP would be the owner, and manager of the units and SHE would provide support services, and ongoing counseling for residents. AHIP is currently searching for an appropriate site. The e~q3ectation is that Program Design will be completed by June of 97, and funding will be sought after July 97. -it is AHIP's intention to purchase and rehabilitate scattered site homes fl3roughout Albemarle County (and perhaps the City). These homes would be rented to low income families participating in the County's Family Self Sufficiency Program at below market rents. Upon completion of a family's FSS contract, the home would be offered for sale to the occupant. Proceeds from the sale of these units would be reinvested in other scattered site rehabilitation projects. AHIP currently owns one unit,' has a contract on one unit, and~ would lixe to purchase six more before the end of FY 97. ~ Technical Assistance: Since expans~n into the City of Charlottesville, AHIP has been able to provide technical assistance to Several other non-profits in the region. AHIP hired two full time individuals in order to provide outreach and technical assistance for city rehabilitation projects, The quantity of work in the city however, is not sufficient to support full time positions, therefore the balance of these positions is being "seld" to other area non-profits. These groups are often small. one or two person operations, and cannot afford full time employees. They can however afford to purchase services on an as needed contractual basis. Services provided to date include: -Charlottesville Housing Foundation (CHF): AHIP staff completed funding applications for the expansion of CHF's Stepping Stone project in the City of Charlottesville. AHIP staff also prepared CHF's Neighborhood Assistance Tax Credit Application in the fall of 1996. AHIP staff is currently providing technical assistance and project management services for CHF's Stepping,tone e~q2ansion. _ -Nelson Communit~j Development Foundation (NCDF): AHIP is assisting Nelson prepare a Community Development Block Grant application by completing housing ~nspections and work write ups required by DHCD. In addition, AHIP is negotiating a contract wifl~ NCDF to provide inspections and estimating/procurement services for their Indoor Plumbing Program and CDBG (if funded). -Jordan Development Corporation: AHIP has been in conversation with the Jordan Development Corporation regarding possible staffing of the final phase of development of the Meadows in Crozet. Jordan is a totally volunteer organ~-ation, and therefore must hire cunsultants to complete development projects. By utilizing AHIP's existing administrative base, it is felt that the project can be developed at a lower cost. AHIP is also working with Jordan to purchase two of their single family homes in the City of Charlottesville. and Jordan is considering a request by AHIP to provide $10,000 of funding for the Neighbors Program. .Greene County: AHIP contracted with the TJPDC to build a single family home for a Iow income family.

January 8, JA 22 i997 To Whom It May Concern: This letter is to inform you that my husband and I are in favor of a leash-law in our ne~ghborhgod. Currently there ~s one family who have dogs that are a nuisance. These dogs chase every car or truck that enters the neighborhood. They have ~cently started traveling on the main road (Route 604). The dogs also use our yard as their bathroom. These are fairly large dogs and they leave a considerable mess. In addition approximately a year ago, these three dogs attacked another smaller dog on our property. They Cornered the smaller dog against the side 6~ the house. Several shrubs were destroyed in the process, not to mention the blood and dirt left on the house. The owner of the dogs said at that t~me that he would pay for the new shrubs and help to replant them. Needless to s~y, we have meceived no money nor any help when it came to replanting the shrnbs or cleaning the house. It is a shame that all pet owners cannot or will not be responsible for their pets. I do not blame the dogs for their actions, but rather the owners who need to keep them on thei~rproperty. The lives of these animals are in danger every time they chase a car or walk on Route 604. For the safety of the animals, if for no other reason, we are in favor of a leash-law.

I spoke to Bob about the dog problem and he said that since we have only one lot left that we would have just one vote toward a leash law. Bob suggested calling the County and the Animal Control officer. We are in favor of the leash law in Lexington but Bob feels like you need your other neighbors to vote in favor of it also. I hope this is of some help to you. Feel free to call us anytime at 904- 441-5711.

To me, M. O. E. means keeping education status quo, allowing for no additional growth. However, because of a new differentiated staffing ratio, some schools are losing programs or positions. The money gained from this process will be spent on support personnel at schools with a higher concentration of at-risk students. This school system defines at-risk based on the numbers of students who are on free or reduced lunch. Wha~t differentiated staffing implies is that, because I work, have a home environment that nurtures the value of education, and pack my girls' lunch, their school is being penalized. This is economic bigotry and educational discrimination. This means some principals are having to make very difficult decisions about where to cut programs, while other principals will be interviewing for additional staff. To have an inconsistent staffing ratio from school to school is unethical. To take from my children's educational program to beef up another child's program is ludicrous. As a teacher in Albemarle County, I have always taken it personally when I heard of parents bailing out on public education and opting for private school. I felt that this County offered a wonderful, diverse program. However, when parents are informed about these types of decisions, they see their options as very limited. Right now, it appears that if I want my daughters to have smaller class sizes or have access to support personnel to provide reinforcement or extension of skills, they must be either at-risk or gifted. My choices are to either quit work, no longer value education, and apply for free lunch, (thus being considered at-risk) or browbeat the principal into administering the Otis Lennon Standardized test, wow you with anecdotes of my child's intellectual prowness as a toddler, and have her identified gifted. What's happening to the 85% of average kids? Why must they pay the price? Supporting at-risk students is an economically feasible proposition, and one the School Board guaranteed when the~ redistricting lines were drawn. However, as a taxpaying, voting citizen in this County, I will not stand by and watch my children's educational program be cut. The Board of Supervisors must fund the at-risk initiative. This Board must fund growth. : / Katherine Verell Albemarle County Public Schools Principals'-AsSociation Position Statement on the proposed FY 97-98 School BUdget Wednesday, March 12, 1997 My name is Don Vale and I am tri-chair of the Albemarle County Principals' Association.

WE NEED TO PUT SOME LOVE & ATTENTION BACK INTO THIS PLACE THAT HAS BEEN SO GOOD TO US_ THESE REQUIRE TIME AND DOLLARS. WE CANNOT GET SOMETHING WONDERFUL FOR A PITTANCE OUR FUTURE, OUR CHILDREN DESERVE IT Unfunded initiatives. You know it's spring in Albemarle County when these initiatives pop out of the ground and die like they were hit with a hard frost. I will read a partial list of the dead; · Full funding of ALPS. Only a small number ofschoois currently receive these funds, monies geared toward helping students at°risk, the ones we say we're prioritizing. Health Clinicians. This is the oldest of the dead perennials. A mere 5 clinicians. Again, these would help to support our most at-risk students. · Summer School acceleration, again for at-risk students. A K-5 language arts specialist. The government says that all students will be reading on grade level by third grade. Not today. Not next year. When? We need a coordinator. Textbooks. What could be more radical? Some of our textbook, s are so old that the chapter on the American Revolution still has Washington's troops stuck in Valley Forge. Increase of the Master's Degree stipend for teachers. At the rate most teachers are going, their mortgage will be paid before their school loans. Last year's sala~ study said we should be competitive in our region. For master's degree stipends we are not. We are getting heat by others for the most highly credentialed teachers. Finally, the pony van. I know no one talked about this at budget time. Every time I see that pony van drive up to my building I pray for the driver. That little white van'has more miles on it than Apollo 11. NextMarch, this budget will include the opening ofa new high school. I hate to say it, but for the 1997-98 budget, we're in fat city! Next year we're going to take a pounding. From what I've heard, there will he no rabbit in the budget hat next year. He's going into the frying pan tonight. In our nation, we worry about addling the children of tomorrow with the debt of today. They better get good jobs. But our first debt is to them. We owe them a first class, top-notch education that provides them with evcw o~portunity we can afl? up with the resources to do the right thing for every child, ours can. Next year, we're going to need a meals tax in our community. We're going to need it just to hold our ground. If we want to do more, we will either have to eat out a lot or add other new revenue as weft. In America we say that anyone can become anything they want, if they only have the gumption to do it. Our main sources of gumption are our families, our faith and our public schools. As a board of supervisors, you have control of only number three. The school board tried not to ask for too much and wound up asking for too little. So I say to you tonight, let us go above their request. Let us be bold. Let us join together as a eommtmity and fully fond public education in Albemarle County. Good evening ladies and gentlemen. My name is Marshall Chase and I am here tonight speaking as President of the Albemarle Education Association. My comments this evening ~511 center mainly on the 1997-98 School Division Budget. I would like to be able to say that we are in complete agreement with the budget request and the allocation of resources therein, but I can not. This has been termed a "Maintenance of Effort Budget". It is not. Not only does this request not maintain current services, but it falls far short of what we as a community can and must do for children. First, the school division budget includes a new differentiated staffing formula. While it is entirely proper and in fact, way past time that we begin an initiative to serve children in our community who need all the help they can get, this program comes with a heavy price. The price of this formula is the reduction of effort in the instruction of art, music, physical education, elementary guidance and media sciences. The price of this formula is the reduction in our force of teaching assistants and contract staff. The price of this formula is an increase in class sizes. Should we serve our neediest children? The answer is a resounding yes. But should we do so at the expense of many others in the division? If you think that art is just crayons and paper, if you think that music is just singing a few songs, ffyou think that physical education is just playing dodge ball, if you think that media services is just checking out a book, if you think that guidance counseling is just a pat on the back when you've had a had day, well then let's get rid of all of it now. But the fine arts are an essential part of human intelligence. Thomas Jefferson didn't merely read abou/architecture. He personally brought neoclassical structure to the New World. He didn't just read about violin music. He performed it. Physical education is essential to the development of healthy bodies and minds. National studies show that American children are flabbier now than they were when President Kennedy began the President's Physical Fitness program. We don't have librarians any more. They are media specialists. With good reason. Card files are history. And history is on CD ROM. Guidance counselors are becoming school based social workers. I know that at Stony Point, ours makes home xisits and puts more time into making sure that children have proper clothing and food to eat than he does working out playground scuffles. Children who are at-risk go far beyond the buildings that have the highest percentage of free and reduced lunch. They are in every school and in every classroom It is time for us to decide what we want as a community. All of our children deserve the best we can give them. The biggest mistake this budget makes is that k asks too little for all of our children. We, the undersigned residents of Albemarle County, believe individual public school funding can not be based solely upon the number of free and reduced lunch students in a school. The proposed equitable school funding formula is unequal and penalizes middle class students. We request the-County provide equal funding for each public school. ....

To~ Froul: Date: Members of the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors V.L. Murray Elementary School PTO Board Wednesday, March 12, 1997 PiE: Albemarle County Budget t997/98 V.L. Murray Elementary has a very active and well-informed PTO. At our most recent Board Meeting (3/6/97) when facts were presented regarding next year's budget allocations, it became readily apparent that Murray Elementary is lacking support and there is concrete evidence that Albemarle County is reducing commitment to public education in general. Our Board expressed deep concern and, in fact, passionately disapproves of the recommended budget that does not adequately accommodate growth in Albemarle and reduces support for individual schools. We are alt responsible for the present and future success of public education, parents such as we and elected and well-informed representatives such as you. While we have allowed Albemarle County zo grow, we have not considered the impact on education budgets. Now we stand at a crossroads. While a "maintenance of effort" budget would represent mediocrity, you have before you something tess than that. Impact on Murray Elementary is a case in point. Differentiated funding addresses the concern for those schools that have more inherent hurdles to overcome to achieve success. There is no debate that some schools have greater needs~ The problem is redncing support elsewhere to support this. VL Murray has its own problems to solve and with the new staffing allocations, stands to lose. I will call your attention to this, that the FTE allocations are the same for next year. But, read between the lines. In our case, no longer are we, as a small school, supported with a full time l~rarian; in order to maintain her full time, reduction elsewhere is required and at the same time, other requirements have been added, but with the same staffing allocation number as last year. In applying the differenfkated funding method, we have learned that Alhemafle's minimum standards are, in fact, lacking. We learn that a full time librarian is not guaranteed in each school, much to our surprise, only in large schools, as if the library at Mtm-ay would only be used part time. Whaz nonsense! In order to maintain our full- time librarian/media-specialist, Murray Elementary must sacrifice its art teacher? This is a school base choice, but you can imagine, the art teacher (a .3) met only once every two weeks with children. It was too easy to let her go, when, apparently, we learn that Albemarle County has no standard that requires an art teacher in every school. Albemarle County is in the desperate stage of robbing Peter to pay Paul and at great cost! The failure to require and fund a strong art and music curriculum throughout the county schools reflects a misunderstanding. Art Education IS basic education. The ancient Greeks knew this and it is ignorant to believe otherwise. The tragic loss of the arts due to tight budgets leave many children out in the cold. For some, art education is the key that unlocks the chance for success in the academic experience. Experts agree that strong commitment to the arts stimulates learning ab'tlity,/mproves test scores, aids in understanding of other subjects, history and mathematics, for example, enhances self-esteem and productivity and teaches discipline. Another example of this misguidedness is that Albemarle County has never supported an orchestral program in its high schools. Charlottesville City Schools, both Middle and I-l~gh Schools, recently sent their full Orchestras and Chamber Group to a regional competition and won superior ratings; Albemarle students are denied this very academic and valuable experience. Charlottesville impresses us with its strong support for the arts, despite its financial difficulties and special student needs. Albemarle must support more than a '¢malntenance of effort" budget particularly when maintenance ha this case implies mediocrity. It must amend itself m guarantee basic education for all children including art and music, full time librarians in every school and small class sizes. The fact is, this budget brought to you is less than a '~maintenance of effort". For the record, this should be clear! The Murray PTO Board w/Il not support it or any such reduced effort that does not pay for growth or the basic, fundamental education that all children should be offered. Because serious education in not just about the rigors of mathematics, language and science but the development of the human spirit, this PTO Board is deeply committed to the best education possible for ail children now and always. We will not stand for a shameful evolution of mediocrity and apathy towards Albemarle's county schools. The reputation of this county is at stake.

The sign was correctly relocated on Monday, March loth. Notice by letter and by advertisement in the newspaper has been made in accordance with the State Code. An error in posting the notice sign does not automatically cause deferral of this hearing. Section 33.8.1 states "Upon a finding by the board of supervisors that failure to comply with the posting requirements of this section has denied the public reasonable notice of the public hearing, the board may defer action on the petition or application until reasonable notice by posting is given." There has been considerable public interest in this request; however, staffis not aware of any new public comment since the sign has been relocated. As the Board is aware, notice via public signs is not mandated by the State Code as are legal ads and letters to abutting owners. The County zoning regulations require posting the property, at least fifteen (15) days preceding the Commission's public hearing. The process relating to posting s~gns is currently under review to avoid these types of errors and to best serve the intended purpose of timely, complete and accurate public notice. We are looking at ways to check that we have ascertained the proper location and that we are insuring timely posting. DATg AGENDA ITF~M NO.

I believe that we share the same concerns as do the entire the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors related to this unsightly and expensive problem that continues to plague our beautiful County. In terms of background, I am advised that this is a site that public tids were spent to clean up approximately one year ago and obviously the problem continues to reappear. The County is currently in the process of convming a multi-jurisdictional task force that will look at the issue of illegal dumping to attempt to identify root cause solutions in addition to our efforts to clean up existing problems. One of the tasks will be to develop criteria to set priorities for expenditure of any funds that might be available. How does one site that needs to be addressed get priority over another site and should sites that have never had funds spent to clean them up rise above sites that have already been cleaned up on one or more occasions? Let me assure you that the Board of Supervisors is keenly interested in identifying solutions to this problem. If you would be willing to serve on any task force that might be developed and potential solutions, please contact Ms. Ame~a MeCu~ey~ Dire~t~r ~fBuil¢~mg C~de and Zuning Services f~r Albemarle C~onty~ at 296~5~75.

Humphris 109 Falcon Drive Charlottesville, VA 22901 Dear Mrs. Humphris, I am v~iting as a concerned Albemarle County citizen and landovmer to share information about a problem that affects all who live here and ail who visit the countryside. I trust you will agree after reviewing the enclosed photographs that something needs to be done. The subject photographs were'taken by me on February 20, t997 along an approximately two-mile stretch of road near the Walton Middle School at Cm~ter's Bridge, more specifically VSH 717, Secretary Sand Road, only eight miles from Charlottesville. Illegal dumping, although particularly bad at this location, ~s pervasive throughout rural Albemarle. I am told that the ordinance prohibiting such illegal activity is largely unenforceable. Consequently, a fundamental change in solid waste management would appear worthy of review. What is surely a public health hazard as well as a dreadful eyesore hurts us all by spoiling our historic landscapes. Land values are at risk, the contribution tourism makes to business is threatened, and the wonderful "quality of life" we enjoy is suffering immeasurably. I hope I have found the proper forum to share these findings and hope that it will merit "new business" discussion at your next meeting. It wonld be a shame to broadcast such an unflattering view of the County in any media presentation, unless it would be useful in garnering strong public support for corrective measures, I will leave that to your judgment. Thank you for your consideration, and ill can be of further assistance in any way, please don't hesitate to call.
