We asked Prince Willaim County Public Schools Associate Superintendent for Communications and Technology Services Keith Imon what could happen if the decades-old revenue-sharing agreement between the County School Board and Board of Supervisors changed:
As early as 1986, there was a revenue share in place. The current approach dates back to 1998 when the two boards created the formal agreement. It has evolved over the years with changes in the percent of the split in county revenue.For FY 2016, the School Division’s share of the revenue agreement is 57.23%, with PWCS receiving $507,302,048.

Manassas, VA—Soroptimist International of Manassas recognized two of its members for forty years of membership in the local volunteer organization. Audrey Moore of Manassas and Linda Simms of Nokesville were both presented with a pin at the club’s recent membership meeting.
Founded in 1956, the Manassas club is part of Soroptimist International of the Americas, a global organization that works to improve the lives of women and girls through programs leading to social and economic empowerment. Manassas members join with almost 80,000 Soroptimists in about 120 countries and territories to support community-based projects benefiting women and girls.
Manassas City officials agreed to pay $1.9 million for a property that is now home to a trailer park with a failed water and sewer system.
The water and sewer system at the East End Mobile Home Park, located 9021 and 9021A Centreville Road failed. The current owner of the property did not make the needed repairs to the water and sewer system and agreed to sell the property to the city.
As students prepare for the start of a new school year, the Prince William County Republican Committee and Congresswoman Barbara Comstock (VA-10) conducted a back-to-school supply drive to benefit some of the County’s neediest students. The Committee collected a large amount of supplies and delivered them on Wednesday to Parkside Middle School and Sinclair Elementary School, both in Manassas.
“I thank the Prince William County Republican Committee for putting this important back-to-school supply drive together and helping the students of Prince William County grow academically,” said Congresswoman Comstock. “It was an honor to join the initiative. These supplies will help low-income families, so every child has the tools for success. I hope the Prince William County community has a wonderful year of learning.”
Alex Kolovos, age 78, passed away on August 25, 2016, at his home in Woodbridge, VA.
Alex was diagnosed with late-stage cancer two months ago and he battled the disease as best he could. Alex is survived by his wife, his son, his daughter, and their families, who were all with him along the way and at his last moments. We take solace knowing that he is in a better place now.
Alex grew up in Greece, and began working in the restaurant business as a teenager where he gained experience in a variety of food preparation and service positions. From early on Alex had a knack for working with food. He also was naturally gifted at interacting with customers and quickly developed a respect for the mantra that the customer is always right.
Authorities said a 15-year-old boy attacked members of his foster family.
