Taxes going up in Stafford, and teachers on track to get raises

STAFFORD — The Board of Supervisors is prepared to fund a cost-of-living raise for Stafford County teachers — something they’ve wanted for a long time.

“Our schools are hemorrhaging people, from teachers to paraprofessionals, to bus drivers,” said George Washington District Supervisor Tom Coen, who works as a history teacher at Stafford High School.

The Board on Wednesday approved its $305 million budget for the fiscal year 2019 beginning July 1. It includes $4 million more for schools than last year’s budget. And it includes $5.7 million allocated for teacher raises, as the Board chose to categorically fund certain line items for the more than $121 million in local funds it allocates to the School Board.
