MONTGOMERY COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD WILL MEET IN RINER

The 7:30 p.m. meeting at the Auburn High School auditorium will be the first of four public information hearings on the 1994-95 budget. Subsequent meetings will be held Sept. 28 at Shawsville High School, Oct. 12 at Blacksburg High School and Oct. 14 at Christiansburg High School.

The meeting is part of a process that will proceed through the fall and into the winter. The School Board is scheduled to receive a final budget in late December, for which it will then advertise and hold public hearings.

After the public comment session the board will hear reports on the school system's capital improvements program and a proposal to change the salary schedules for school employees.

A 10-member committee of administrative employees, teachers and two School Board members, chaired by Assistant Superintendent John A. Martin, studied the pay scale over six meetings since July. The committee's report includes an examination of the cost of the current scale - $20.1 million - and proposals for adminstrators and teachers' pay scales.
