STAFFORD — On July 20, prepare to set sail at the 15th annual cardboard boat regatta at Aquia Landing Park.

Earlier this year, I shared with our community my key budget priorities for the upcoming 2019-20 school year, and I am pleased to announce that those priorities were all fully funded. This is only possible due to the strong collaboration with our teachers, parents, and staff in developing the budget.
I also want to thank our School Board and the Board of County Supervisors for their unanimous support, and our local state representatives who helped advocate for, and pass, an increase in state funding for teacher pay. Through this collaboration, we are able to provide an average 4.8 percent increase for our teachers and employees, with no increase in employee health care costs.

It’s not quite what you expect.
Looking at it from the parking lot, Robiolina is nestled inside a strip shopping center on the side of Garrisonville Road. In a space once occupied by a Mexican restaurant and next to a video game store, you don’t necessarily think fine dining when you look at the place.
