Roanoke Schools Face Funding Crunch | Roanoke News

from Roanoke News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Roanoke City schools are back in session, but facing a fresh budget crunch—over $200K less in state funding than expected, on top of last year’s $14M shortfall. With final enrollment numbers pending, the board may need to adjust budgets or tap savings mid-year. Meanwhile, former city manager Darlene Burcham joins the city’s finance board to lend her expertise. Roanoke County PD is seeking public input as it renews its 1992 accreditation, and both City Council and County Board meetings are coming up next week—agendas online for anyone who wants to stay in the loop.
