Letter for the Board of Supervisors’ Meeting, March 25, 2013 

From Virginia Cutchin, 29018 Darden Point Road, Courtland, in the Jerusalem District 

 

Dear Chairman Jones and Members of the Board of Supervisors, 

  I am writing regarding the General Assembly’s money for the 2 percent raise for teachers and 

other contract school employees.  The figures in the Tidewater News don’t match any monetary figures 

mentioned at the last Board of Supervisors’ meeting; however, here is my concern. 

  On November1, 2011 all of the county employees, including the teachers, received a 2 percent 

raise.  That is less than a year and one‐half ago.  For Isle of Wight, whose teachers have not received a 

pay raise in 4 years, this money from the State Budget is a great incentive to help their employees and 

help their county with part of the cost.  However; for Southampton County, the need is school buses.   

  I am suggesting that you not accept the funds from the General Assembly because Southampton 

County will have to match those funds for salaries, and in future years fund the entire amount.  Instead 

of another raise, I suggest that you, the Board, use the county’s matching funds (I think it was $75 

thousand mentioned at the last meeting) and add $11,000 (the bus cost must have gone up because I 

thought it was $85,000 at the last meeting) and buy the $86,000 bus. 

  Perhaps the Board of Supervisors could appeal to the General Assembly to give Southampton 

County the budgeted amount to use toward school buses since our teachers have recently received a 

raise.  Then, with $22,000, you could purchase 2 buses. 

  Again, I would not be suggesting this except for the fact that you did vote for a pay raise for all 

county employees less than a year and one‐half ago. 

  Thank you for listening.  I hope you will consider my suggestion as an option. 

 

Sincerely, 

Ginna Cutchin
